9-25 It's my Birthday

It's my birthday

I celebrated my 60th birthday by going to Tool, TX for the weekend. We had a fabulous weekend dancing to Darryl Lipscomb and Elmer Sheffield Jr. and friends. We finished the weekend up this morning with a breakfast served by the Log Cabin Swingers Club. They served pancakes and sausage patties. While we ate breakfast we visited with our friends. After breakfast we danced for a couple of hours. The first hour and a half plus dancing and a half hour of A dancing. A couple of couples had to leave so Darryl called a six couple A tip, this was a lot of fun. Yesterday Darryl and Elmer recorded a song while we were dancing. While we were resting between the dance and A tips they played the recording back, it sounded great. Darryl and Elmer played around with calling to another song and this morning they decided to record it. In between one of the tips Larry and a few guys talked to Darryl and Elmer about recording and about how far the recording industry has come for the better. They tried recording the song a few times while we danced to it but they kept making little mistakes so after the A tips they were going to try again. We don't know how the recording came out because after the dance we were leaving.

The dance was over at noon so before leaving Tool we had a sandwich for lunch. We arrived back at the house at 4:15. We unloaded the Minnie and then I put a pizza in the oven for dinner. In the evening we caught up with our YouTube videos. We watched a couple of documentaries. The 9/11: The Curse of Compensation was about how the compensation ruined some of the people's lives. Andrew Carnegie was about the richest man in the world live. Andrew Carnegie was a very interesting person. We enjoyed both documentaries. I had a super birthday.
