[wpcode id=”76760″] The day started off slow as our first official outing was not until 11:15 am when we headed to the Elks Lodge! We worked in the office, and then we went into the garden to check things out. The peas are doing amazingly well and are already three feet tall. Everything else is doing great, and we are happy to give away our produce because we could not eat it all ourselves.
We were sitting there, minding our business, and we heard a familiar voice! Our son Joe decided to join us for lunch. I was in shock and forgot to take a picture! He knew all of our friends and conversed with them. He now knows what Girls Night Out is all about!
Bill has a new job! He is the official Elks ice cream taster! That was his third bowl so far today!
Most of the gang was there except we missed the Ash’s and Sydney.
George, Will, and Iris sat across from us.
Joe had a burger and fries, Mary had a chili size, and I opted for the Caesar salad with chicken. I have lost almost 4.5 pounds since I got back from Hawaii; just another fifteen to go!
We departed at about 1:45 pm and went to the local liquor store as we were in search of some 20-year-old Scotch for a dear friend and his birthday party. We got home at 2:30 pm and waited for Mike Andersen to stop by at 3:00 pm. He wanted to coordinate some of our upcoming activities. We sent him home with two sacks of goodies from the garden; Bridgette will have a great time with the pickings.
We watched “Shall We Dance?” As dancers, we really enjoyed the movie and laughed several times. Been there, done that!
Summary: Despite having a great career and a loving family, lawyer John Clark (Richard Gere) is missing something in his life as he meanders listlessly from day to day. On his commute back home one night, Clark notices a stunning woman (Jennifer Lopez) in a dance studio and decides on a whim to join a class for ballroom dancing. While Clark finds a new spark in his life, his wife, Beverly (Susan Sarandon), grows suspicious of his frequent absences since he decides to keep his dancing a secret.
It was an outstanding cast!
I love dancing with Dr. Mary. We may not be the most elegant couple on the dance floor, but we manage to stay upright and generally in step with the music. This is one of the dance steps I’m known for, and it’s called ‘The Chiropractor’s Delight!’
In fact, we are going dancing Friday at the Elks to The Five-Star Band. We will get in several hours of tripping the light fantastic.
