Saturday 3-13 International Women's Day Dance

 

Virtual Square Dancing

It was overcast with drizzle all day. It got to a humid 75 degrees.

The weather didn't stop the construction crew of our neighbor house from showing up. While we were camping they poured the foundation. Yesterday, a crew started framing the house. It's going to be a metal frame. They put in the upright poles and welded them to the plates in the foundation. Then they welded the beams together. Larry talked to the foreman and he said they would be working on the framing for a few days.

Due to camping and other things it has been a week since Larry worked on any paper crafting so today he completed a project he had started last week. 

I did the Daily Challenges and Event: Spider Mini of 10 games. It took me 1 hour, 16 minutes and 39 seconds, which put me in 20th place in my group. Then I did a few Star Club Solitaire World Tour Pyramid games. It was Spider Saturday so all the spider games solved your points double. We watched YouTube videos.

We attended three virtual square dances. First was Don Moger and Ross Howell's Monthly C1/C2 at 12:00 for an hour and a half. We attended the C1 session, which was three tips. We had 58 participants. Don called two tips and Ross called one. We had a fun time.

The second one was International Women's Day at 1:00 for two and a half hours. It was a special dance to honor women. It was multi-level Mainstream, Plus and A2 and 10 different women callers. Ett McAtee set it up and only 100 participants were allowed so it was at 100 all through the dance. Deborah Carroll-Jones was the MC and she did a great job. The callers were Betsy Gotta (New Jersey), Juliane Burr (Germany), Wendy VanderMellen (Canada), Karin Rabe (New Jersey), Ett McAtee (Maryland), Teresa Berger (Indiana), Dottie Welch (Canada), Patty Greene (North Carolina), Denise Carbonell (Maine) and Terri Sherrer (California). Each caller called one tip. They called 6 Mainstream tips, 3 Plus tips and one A2 tip. Larry danced the A2 tip with me. The mainstream and plus tips had singing calls. I had a great time.

The third one was Don Moger's Saturday Night Fever Dance at 6:00 for an hour and a half. This week Don invited Loren Smith to come and call with him. They did a tip of A2 and C1 by themselves and the other two A2 tips they called together. During the A2 session we had 60 participants and the C1 session had 58 participants. We had a very fun evening of dancing with Don and Loren and friends.

After the last dance we started watching the second season of Downton Abbey. I started watching the second season of Conception. I ended up doing 27,000 steps, which put me in third place in my group.
