Monday 5-25-26 Memorial Day, Dancing with Di and Terry & More

 


Memorial Day


Happy Memorial Day. I would like to take time to thank all the women and men, who have served in the Arm Forces and defended the United States.

We had a humid day with partly cloudy skies. The morning temperature was 65 degrees and the high was 89 degrees. 

We started the day out by attending Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly C1 dance at 9:00 am for an hour and fifteen minutes. Today Di called six tips to 12 participants. Larry danced four of the tips with me. Terry danced part of the first tip. Di called, cued and danced by herself most of the dance. Di worked shopped Relay the Top because dancers were having problems and so was she. It's always hard to dance by yourself and keep track of seven phantoms. Some of the dancers were wearing red, white and blue shirts and one was wearing earrings of flags. I wore a flag hat for Memorial Day. Today was a special day for people from the U.K. because it was May Day. May Day is the Spring Break Holiday.  We had a super time dancing with Di and Terry and friends.

Larry continued working on editing and bookmarking the four couple tapes in square dancing. He spent time playing with different programs to make it easy to turn over the tapes to someone else when we're traveling .

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 10 games (5 Klondike and 5 Pyramid). It took me 40 minutes and 37 seconds, which put me in 15th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I worked out for an hour and a half. I had a great workout.

I worked out for a half hour with the Wii Fit. I had the Wii Fit put a workout together. The workout consist of two Aerobics ( Basic Step and Advance Step), one Strength Training ( Lungs 10 reps), four Yoga (Palm Tree, Tree, Warrior, Triangle) and five Training Plus (Snow Ball, Rhythm Parade, Perfect 10 (twice adding up to 10 and 20), Skateboard Arena and Rhythm Kung-Fu.

The Prepared Workout was Uppercut Combo from Beginning Lessons (14 minutes), Weaving Combo from Intermediate Lessons (6 minutes) and Jump Rope from Exercise Lessons (3 minutes). The one I decided to do was Ducking Combo from Intermediate Lessons (7 minutes).

I played ten games of pinball. I played five games on the mini cabinet, which were Ace Of Speed, No Good Goffers!, Pirate's Life, Pirates Of The Caribbean and The Goonies. I played five games on the big cabinet, which were Batman, Big Trouble In Little China, Creature From the Black Lagoon, Jaws and Red & Ted Road Show. While playing Creature From the Black Lagoon and Jaws I became high score #2 in both. I had a great time playing pinball.

In the evening we watched a movie on Hoopla called Disobedience. It was a good movie about a woman, who returns to an Orthodox Jewish community in North London for her father's funeral after living in New York for many years. She was estrange from her father and the community. It starred Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams. After Larry went to bed I watched the last Harry Potter movie from the series called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 2 and  Jesse Stone:  Benefit of the Doubt from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 5,000 steps.
