Wednesday 1-22 Morning Get Together

Having fun with friends

We started the day out by attending the Wednesday Get Together at J-Five. Before discussing what was going on in the park they serve donuts and coffee. Last Saturday the park had a garage/bake sale and lunch, they raised over $900. They went over upcoming group events, Marty went over activities going on by day and gave out door prizes. We had a great turnout.

After the get together we went to our morning dance. It was an A2 Dance with Darryl Lipscomb at Pharr South. We had nine squares and two extra couples, which gave most of the dancers a chance to rest during a tip. Darryl made the dance challenging by changing the square formation from a square setup to a T-Bone. He had to stop and walk us through the moves a couple of times because the whole floor was broken down. Darryl called a Split Chain Thru by using the left hand instead of the right hand, people struggled with this because we're not use to doing the call this way. Our friends Sharon wore a beautiful pant suit, where the pants had jewels down the whole length of the leg on both sides. I forgot to take a picture of her. We had a super morning of dancing with friends and to Darryl.

For lunch we went to Fazoli's and had the Italian Submarino and bread sticks. 

Our afternoon dance was at Tropic Star. It was a C1 Dance with Joe Saltel. We had three squares and an extra couple. Joe walked us through a Tally Ho where we were in a Siamese Formation, which is a formation where there are two couple that are partners and the other two couples are in Tandem. He called it Concentric and it confused the dancers. But once he walked us through it a couple of times we understood the concept. We had an outstanding afternoon with Joe. We said good-bye to him because it was going to be our last dance with him in the Valley this year.

In the evening I finished doing 17,000 steps. I did some Sudoku puzzles. I finished doing my Solitaire Event: Two Game Tango (10 games of Klondike and 10 games of Free Cell). By the time I went to bed I was in 19th place in my group. We had an awesome day.
