Friday 3/29/19 Weekend Get Away

We started the day out by getting ready for our weekend get away in Abilene, Texas. 

For the last fifteen years Darryl Lipscomb had been putting on a weekend of A2 and C1 dancing at the Wagon Wheel in Tye. Abilene is about 191 miles from the house and we didn't have to be there until 7:30 in the evening. The way we drive it takes us about four hours, we take the two lane highways. The drive was very peaceful and I dozed off a few time. 

We arrived about 3:30. It gave us a chance to relax until the dance. For dinner we went to Denny's. Larry had pancakes, I had the French toast and we shared an order of sausage links. The service was fast and the food was delicious.

We went back to our room for about an hour. 

We had five squares of dancers for the A2 dance. Everyone had to dance. This year there were some new people but some of our friends from Marble Falls and Austin weren't there and the folks from Lubbock are also missing. But it was only a square less than last year. We danced and visited with friends from home and from lots of other areas, some we hadn't seem in quite some time. After the A 2 dance Darryl called two C1 Star-tips. We had three squares of C1 dancers. We a great night of dancing with friends.
