The past few
days the weather has kept us inside in the air conditioning. It’s in the mid to upper 90’s with 20 mph
winds. A couple of days we were at near
record heat. The Little League World
Series kept us entertained. Those young
guys (ages 11-13) play really well.
We did
venture out last night to square dance.
We’ve had such a good time dancing with the Shirts and Skirts and Spares
and Pairs square dance clubs. Everyone
made us feel so welcome we feel like we’ve made some good friends. We hated to say good bye to them – hope we’ll
meet up again at some of the square dance conventions around the country. If you haven’t put learning to square dance
on your list of things to do, it ought to be there. You have such a good time you don’t realize
you are getting exercise. You don’t have
to have a partner to learn how to dance or to attend dances once you are ready,
so everyone can have a good time. You
have to pay such close attention to the caller that there is no way your
problems can bother you while you are dancing – what a stress reliever.I was thinking this evening that I haven’t yet mentioned one of my favorite “home improvements”.
Son in law Mike built
this special shelf unit to fit into the space next to my seat which is moved forward now so I can show this to you. The shelves are angled so things don’t fall
out as we go down the road, this creates little cubbyholes that are just right
for my billfold, camera, sunglasses, paperback books, phone, and toll booth
money – all within reach. We have it
attached to the wall with French cleats – love those things. With the French cleats you can hang even
heavy pictures without worrying that they are going to come off the wall as you
move.
Oven timer
just went off indicating homemade oatmeal raisin cookies are ready so I’m done
with this post.
