Wednesday 5-27-26 New Family Member, Dance Day & More

 

Smile and have fun

We had an over cast day. The morning temperature of 65 degrees and the high of  85 degrees.

While eating lunch we had a surprise visitor. A doe had been hanging around our and Jason's backyard's. We noticed her hanging around early today and about lunch time she had a tiny fawn with her. It looked like it was only an hour or so old very tiny. They stayed around for about an hour before moving on. Now we have a new member of the family.

I attended three virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour. Di called five tips to 10 participants. Terry didn't dance so Di danced the man's position for a couple of tips to help a dancer out, who was dancing in the man position. She worked out a few moves, that people were having problems with. They were from the A1 program, which were Partner Hinge, Partner Tag, Triple Trade and Quarter Thru. They're still having a heat wave in the U.K. so the dancers had fans and Di had a cold wet cloth around her neck to keep cool. I had a super time dancing to Di and with friends.

Second was Ett McAtee's Weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. She called four tips to 11 participants. The second tip was short because her computer was acting up. I had fun dancing to Ett and with friends.

Third was Dave Eno's Weekly C1/A2 dance at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Karin and Greg were calling in person so Dave Hutchinson from Canada showed up to help Dave call the dance. He use to call this dance until his local club started to meet again after COVID. He'll show up to dance when the weather keeps his club from meeting. The format was three tips of C1, three tips of A2 and two Trivia questions in between the A2 tips. During the C1 session we had 7 participants and A2 session we had 10 participants. I had a great time dancing to Dave Hutchinson and Dave Eno and with friends.

Having fun virtually square dancing

Larry is continuing to work on square dancing tapes.

He is also learning a new program where he can control his phone via the computer.

In between dancing I played games and worked out.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Tri Peaks Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 39 minutes and 35 seconds to complete, which put me in 13th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2. 

My workout was for an hour. 

I worked out with the Wii Fit for a half hour. I did two games for 10 minutes in Aerobics (Hula Hoop and Rhythm Boxing), two games for 6 minutes in Balance (Soccer Heading and Table Tilt), two games for 6 minutes in Strength Training (Balance Bridge and Torso Twists), 3 games for 6 minutes in Yoga (Chair, Palm Tree and Triangle) and one game for 3 minutes in Training Plus (Segway @ Circuit).

After Dave's dance we watched the last two episodes of  Dalgleish on PBS. After Larry went to bed I watched the second movie of Fantastic Beasts called Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Murder on the Orient Express from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 2,000 steps.

While watching television I worked on my jigsaw puzzle The Blue Truck.
