Sunday 12-3 DBD Holiday Dance

Holiday DBD Dance

A couple whom we square dance with, Jeannette and Bill, know that we love wearing hats when we dance, on Monday they gave us two red hats that light up. We tried to dance with them Friday night but they were difficult to keep on, the controllers and batteries for the lights are mounted inside the top of the hat preventing the hat from sitting on our heads correctly. This morning we moved the controller so it was on top of the hats, this allows the hat to fit a lot better. We will also modify the hat bands so they will fit even better.

Today was the day we dance DBD with Jimmy Johnson in Briarcliff. The dance starts at 2:00 but it takes us over two hours to get there so we left the house at 11:15. We were a bit early so we decided to drive by Camp Pedernales where we use to launch our boat when we lived in Austin. The last few years the place has been for sale and looked abandoned but it has been sold. The new owners are making it into a place to hold weddings. The dance had two squares and an extra couple and a lot of food. The cinnamon rolls and apple fritter rolls I made were a success and half of the Reese's bars were gone. We had a super time dancing and visiting with friends.

On the way home when we were driving through Marble Falls we saw that they had their Christmas lights up by the lake. We stopped and walked through the trail of lights. There were a lot of people there. Marble Falls did a great job of decorating for Christmas. We had fun walking around.
