Sunday And Time To Dance With The Starlighters!

Fun Fact: The dancing plague of 1518, or dance epidemic of 1518, was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace (modern-day France), in the Holy Roman Empire from July 1518 to September 1518.  Somewhere between 50 and 400 people took to dancing for days.

The patio was wet; the sky was cloudless; the sprinklers were not set to come on; it must have rained.  We checked the rain gauge, and sure enough, we had almost 1/2″ of the wet stuff sometime during the night!

Robin and Colleen did a “donut run,” and we all dove into the donut bag with vigor, not witnessed in recent history!  Crumbs were flying, and calories were being downed by the hundreds.

For the rest of the day, Mary attacked her income taxes and learned about Excel with some help from me.

At 4:00 PM, we departed for the dance via Jan’s house for a visit and a glass of wine!

Irene and Vicky were already there setting up, so Colleen, Mary, and I helped them where we could.

We arrived at 5:30 PM and helped do the setup for the dance.

After dinner, Bob and Donna gave the club the latest updates, plus we got a little standup comedy!

Bob and Donna did their speech, and that’s always entertaining.

The dance floor was perfect for the club!

The Elks dance floor was perfect for this evening.

Colleen joined us this evening and danced with several of the guys!

Colleen and Mary were enjoying themselves, and Colleen got to dance.

We killed off two bottles of wine because we knew Colleen would be the designated driver.

That’s my girl!

I love that smile; it reflects her heart!  Colleen whispered to me, “I smile because you’re my father.  I laugh because there’s nothing you can do about it.” I whispered back, “Behind every great daughter is a truly amazing dad.”

Colleen was introduced as a guest for this evening.

The music was terrific, and the dance floor was busy all night!

No dust collects on this floor!

We headed for home with our designated driver at the wheel!
