Tuesday 6-10-25 Dancing A2 with Di and Terry, Wildlife & More

Happy Tuesday

We had a wonderful day.

On Tuesdays we have been going to Liberty Hill to dance C1/A2 with friends. This morning we got a little rain and the weather service predicted that we would get heavy showers. The weather map showed the rain in the area on multiple sites. Henry called at 9:30 and said that Susan was cancelling out for our C1 session because she was worried about the weather. We thanked Henry and decided not to go to Liberty Hill because of the weather. It did rain during the morning and it looked like it could rain harder.

We decided to attend Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly A2 via Zoom. Today was National Best Friend Day. During the dance there were thirteen participants. The dancers came from Australia, Canada, UK and United States so our friends were from all over the world. We consider the participants as friends considering we have been dancing with them for over five years. Di called four of the tips and Terry called the other one. Larry danced with me four of the tips. Terry usually called two of the tips but one of the dancers asked for Di to walk through the move Split Transfer. So Di workshopped the move during one of Terry's tips. She walked us through the move in both the right and left position. Larry and I had a great time dancing with our friends and to Di and Terry.

Larry kept busy doing little projects. He backed up the new jukebox. He worked on downloading movies and music. He also worked on a couple of pinball games.

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 23 minutes and 55 seconds, which put me in 10th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked out with my Wii Fit for a half hour, Just Dance for a half hour (20 minutes with 2019 and 10 minutes with 2018) and a half hour with Synth Riders. The songs I worked out with on Just Dance 2019 were Finesse, Mad Love, New Rules, Sweet Little Unforgettable Thing, New World and No Tears Left To Cry. The songs I worked out on Just Dance 2018 were cute kids songs, which were Bubble Pop (Bubble Gum), Blue (Da Ba Dee) and Beep Beep I'm A Sheep.

I played one game of Asteroid Outpost on Bounce Arcade for an hour. During the game I mined 10 times and was successful two times. I earned an extra ball, played three multiballs and earned a silver trophy. I had a lot of fun.

While we were doing this and that in the afternoon a doe showed up with her fawn about 1:30. They were laying down in the backyard for for over an hour. I went outside to put the lid back on the bowl I use for the nectar for the hummingbirds. As soon as I did this the hummingbird showed up to have a drink. The doe and fawn got up and walked into the trees. A little before 3:00 the fawn came back by itself and laid down by the fence. It stayed there until 8:00 when mom came back for it. It was amazing how patient the fawn was waiting for mom to come back. While the fawn was laying down the hawk came by to hunt for dinner. The hummingbird continued coming back and forth until the sun went down. We love watching the wildlife come and go through the yards.

In the evening we watched Storm Boy on Amazon. It was story about a boy who raised a pelican. It was a good movie.

I started a new diamond painting, which is another tree called Tree # 055-05.

After the movie I played pinball. I played three games, which were Time Lord, Cirqus Voltaire and World Cup Soccer. While playing World Cup Soccer I played in with five balls and became Grand Champion. I didn't get a new high score in Cirqus Voltaire but I'm in 15th place out of 28 participants.
