Saturday 7-24 Tie Dye Palooza 2

 

Keep cool

We had a beautiful day with a lot of sunshine. It got up to 97 degrees, it didn't feel like it. We spent the day in the house keeping cool.

Larry has been working on a couple paper projects. One was a beautiful bag, which he surprised me with. It was made from the free package he got from Dreaming Tree. He modified the project by making the bag smaller and he combined two projects. He also made the bag in my favorite color, which is orange. He substituted the sandals with the banana split and ice cream cones from another project.

While Larry worked on his paper project I did the Daily Challenges and Event: World Tour Mini of 10 games. It took me 3 hours, 41 minutes and 15 seconds, which put me in 31st place in my group. I did the Mahjong Daily Challenges and I finished doing all of the 31 Anniversary games. 

We attended one virtual square dance, which was Tie Dye Palooza 2 at 2:00 for two hours. The dance was put on by Ett McAtee, she invited Di Green from England, Loren Smith from Canada, Uwe Kramer-Ave Marie from Germany, Tim Bressinck from Germany, Karin Rabe from New Jersey, Patty Greene from North Carolina, Hanna Tenebaum from Sweden, Greg Moore from New Jersey, Denise Carbonell from Maine and herself from Maryland. The dance had three breakout rooms, Mainstream, Plus and A2, all the tips were two couples. Everyone signed in the main breakout room to say hello and good-bye for fifteen minutes. We danced in the A2 session to Ett McAtee for a half hour and Loren Smith for a half hour. Ett called two long tips, Loren called three short tips and Hanna Tenebaum for one tip with 31 participants.  I danced in the Plus the last forty-five minutes with 44 participants. The dance started in the main breakout room with 58 participants by the end we had 48 participants. Larry had bought tie dye tee-shirts for us to wear and they were very nice. A lot of the dancers and callers wore tie dye shirts. Some people had tie dye virtual background. It was a fun dance.

In the evening we watched more of the Olympics. When Larry went to bed I continued watching the second season of Silent Witness. I ended up doing 27,000 steps, which put me in 4th place.
