2-3 & 2-4 DBD Weekend with Johnny Preston

Having fun with friends

Saturday February 3, 2018

Wow, we had a super day. We started out slow cooking some pork in the crock pot. It took about four hours, then I pulled it apart and added barbecue sauce to it. We put the pork on tortillas and had it for lunch. 

Every year in February the DBD group from Braircliff invites Jerry Story to call a couple of days of dancing during the week, this year he had to cancel out. When Johnny Preston was in town a few months ago he said he would fill in for Jerry but they would have to change the days and this weekend were the days they agreed to. 

The schedule for today was 3:00 to 5:00 dance, 5:00 to 7:00 dinner and 7:00 to 9:00 dance. After each dance there was an A tip. We had five squares for the DBD dances. The first A tip had three squares and the second A tip had two squares. It was nice to visit with friends from Dallas and Houston. We hadn't been to Allemande Hall in a long time so it was great to see our friends from TIPS. We had a super time dancing to Johnny.

Johnny Preston

We started the day off by going back to Allemande Hall to continue our weekend of dancing. The schedule for today was dancing at 9:00 to 11:00, lunch 11:00 to 1:00 and dancing at 1:00 to 3:00.

On the way to the dance we drove in fog and some places the fog was very thick. When we got to Moody we stopped at Best Donuts and bought a couple of donuts for breakfast. We arrived at the hall a half hour early so we visited with friends that were already there. We had four squares plus an extra man in the morning. Johnny walked us through a few moves in positions we're not use to being in, which made it challenging and fun. After the dance we stayed and danced the A tip with a group from Dallas. We had a great time dancing in the morning.

We went back to Fazoli's for lunch. We were back at the hall an hour early and visited with friends.

The afternoon session we had four squares. We stayed and danced the A tip. We had a fabulous day of dancing.

In the evening we watched YouTube videos and an Amazon movie called Mona Lisa Smiles. It was a 2003 movie starring Julia Roberts as a free-thinking art professor at a conservative 1950s Wellesley girls school. It was a good movie. We had an outstanding weekend of dancing to Johnny Preston and with friends.
