Paris and Friends

We left Lewisville and headed to Paris, TX, for the TEXPACC square dance weekend, which we attended for the first time last year. We joined our friends Hardy and Judy and Steve and Jan for dinner at the Roadhouse. It was old times--almost as if we hadn't been apart for the summer. We got to hear more about Steve and Jan's adventures as gate guards at the oilfields of south Texas.

Dancing started at 8:00 p.m. and went through 11:00 p.m., with each caller having half an hour and calling two tips. We had spent some of the time driving today in reviewing the calls, although we hadn't made it completely through the list. We did okay and had lots of fun.

Two of our favorite RGV callers were there: Darryl Lipscomb (accompanied by Decca)and Joe Saltel. We very much enjoyed having other outstanding national callers challenge and entertain us: Tim Ploch, Bill Haynes, and Lee Kopman. We danced with many of our RGV friends, including Jim and Jane Booth, Dick and Mary Ann Drake, and Floyd and Donna Gardner, along with lots of other folks.


By the time we got to bed, we were very tired but looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
