C-1 Class with Randy

Today was the first "official" C-1 square dance class. The Monday classes are being taught by Randy Dougherty at Pharr South. Bob Reece will be my partner for the lessons, since Doris is having back problems. Six squares showed up today--quite a floor for C-1 lessons. Randy jumped right in with all four feet and taught 11 calls, plus variations. Heads were swimming. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Jan and Steve Spaulding are taking the classes. They went on a tour of an aloe vera grower today, which included a visit to an avocado grove. Jan said that the trees were showing the effects of the recent freeze. They got some nice avocados, and left me a surprise when I got out to the truck: a shiny big green avocado was perched on the windshield wiper.

Ken says he is feeling much better today. He certainly looks like he's doing better. He's been out walking as the doctor ordered, but is having a bit of trouble remembering not to sit for more than 15 minutes at a time. Once he gets in front of the computer, all bets are off.

I made some shrimp creole for supper tonight. You can't go wrong with shrimp!
