9-23 Weekend of Plus and Advance Dancing

Ready to go

Friday 9/23/2016

This morning I finished loading the Minnie for the weekend and did a little housework. About 10:00 we began our square dancing adventure to Tool Texas, took about three hours to get there. While we were driving the vet called and gave Larry the results of the blood test, everything was perfect, she recommended a few supplements to help Flo and she extended the use of the pain pills. She told Larry to keep Flo active. Larry was talking to her while going down the road and the connection got lost, the vet called back as Larry was pulling off in a picnic area. While we were parked we decided to have lunch, simply had a sandwich and got back on the road. We arrived at Promenade Hall around 1:30 and setup the Minnie for the weekend. There were only two other RVs in the camping area. We were a surprised considering the Log Cabin Swingers had invited Darryl Lipscomb and Elmer Sheffield to do the calling. Darryl is from Mission Texas and Elmer is from Tallahassee Florida. We had danced to Darryl in Smithville a couple of weeks ago but this was our first time dancing to Elmer, they are both excellent callers. The first dance was an Advanced Dance from 3:00 to 5:00. Larry and I have not completed learning all the "A" moves yet but the caller and dancers wanted us to join in. They use a computer to tell the dancers which square they are in, they added us into the computer and we got to dance every "A" tip, really nice of them. Darryl and Elmer called a few calls we didn't know but the other dancers helped us through them. Larry and I did pretty well. We had a great time.

 In the evening there was a Plus Dance, we sat out a couple of tips which gave me a chance to take a few pictures. The plus dance was 7:30 to 9:30 and at 9:30 to 10:00 was advanced. Larry and I got another chance to practice. When we got back to Flo she was happy to see us. After saying hi to her and changing clothes I took her for a walk. Then we called it a night.
