Tuesday 1-7-25 Day of A2 Dancing & Diamond Painting

 

It's cold. We woke up to 28 degrees and the high of 45 degrees.

I started the day out by finishing my diamond painting of the horse. I started doing the horse 12/21/24 and finished today, it took about 17 days. I'm getting ready to start a new one. It's called Ice Cream Girl. It's a small diamond painting designed for kids but it will be fun to do. It only has nine different colors of diamonds and comes with a frame to put the finished product in. I worked on Ice Cream Girl for a half hour.

We attended two A2 dances. They were Di Green and Terry McCann's virtually and a in person dance at Kay and Bob Kurczewski's house.

The first dance was Di Green and Terry McCann's weekly A2 dance for an hour. We danced four tips because we weren't sure how long it was going to take to get to our next dance. Di and Terry took turns calling the dance to 11 participants. We had a super time. I said good-bye to everyone after the fourth tip and explained why we were leaving early.

The second dance was Kay and Bob's in Liberty Hill, which is 57 miles away. For awhile on Tuesdays we attended a dance in Corsicana for A2 but it's 100 miles away. The drive back and forth was a bit too far. This dance will work out better. Today we were short a dancer or two to make three squares. We had an outstanding afternoon dancing with friends, some we hadn't seen in five years and others were folks we didn't know. The dance was for two hours.

We left for the dance at 11:30 and got home by 4:45. It took us an hour and fifteen minutes to get to the dance.

I played my Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed last night. The event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 6 games (3 Free Cell and 3 Spider). It took me 39 minutes and 59 seconds, which put me in 38th place in my group.

I played three games of pinball. They were Die Hard, Rambo and Tales of the Arabian Nights.

In the evening we relaxed in front of the television. We watched a movie called Ready Player One. It was a movie about a virtual reality game called the Oasis, the creator dies and left a posthumous challenge to all the Oasis users to find his Easter Egg. It was a good movie. Then I finished watching Everwood. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in 4th in my group.
