Thursday 2-14 Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day. We had a wonderful day with the temperature in the low 80s. 

We started out by going to Tip of Texas RV Park to attend Randy Dougherty's A2 DBD Workshop. We had four squares, 15 couples and one extra man who was waiting for his wife to show up, Randy filled in until she arrived. Randy went over different positions that a caller can put dancer in when doing a Counter Rotate, Chain Reaction and Linear Cycle. Mary Lee brought in Hershey Valentine Kisses for everyone for Valentine's Day. Each kiss had a message on the bottom. We had a great time.

At last nights class Randy invited the C1 students to attend todays C1 Workshop. We took him up on his offer. There were enough people to have four squares and two extra couples. We danced every tip and had a fun time. We did very well considering it was the first time we have actually danced C1 with all the calls at normal speed. We did make some mistakes but the other dancers helped us through the moves we had trouble with. We had fun, 

Every year Fiesta Village RV Park has a baked potato dinner for Valentine's Day. We bought a couple of tickets from a square dancer. She sold 72 tickets to square dancers so they reserved 9 tables for us. They limit the event to 360 people and they sold every ticket. We got there early so it gave us time to relax. The potatoes were huge and there was no way Larry and I would eat the whole thing. We decided to only get one and an extra plate. We didn't want the other potato to go to waste so we told them to keep it. The potato was loaded with butter, cheese and chili, pork n beans was on the side. They had a table for you to get sour cream, onions and jalapenos. For dessert there was vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. The potato was cooked perfect, the food was delicious. We had a great time visiting with our square dance friends as we ate.

In the evening I went over to the recreation hall and played card bingo. We had  30 people so the payback tonight was $4, $4, $4, $4, $5 and $9. I won one game but another two people won so we all got $1.30. I had a lot of fun.

We had a busy Valentine's Day but it was a lot of fun.
