Dancing Friends, Card Playing Friends

This morning we danced at Darryl Lipscomb's A-2 Concept Dance, always one of our favorite dances. There were fifteen squares, but we know that after the first of the year, many more dancers will crowd the floor. We danced the final tip with Dick and Mary Ann Drake, Bob and Pat Boyink, and a couple we had not met before, Norm and Arlyn Lindskog. We had a great tip, and afterward we talked with Norm and Arlyn, friends of the Drakes and also from Indiana. We talked some about Southern California, since they think they might be interested in relocating there. They are round dancers, and Norm plays bridge, so they were uncertain about whether they would dance Tuesday mornings with Joe Saltel, despite the fact that they live at Tropic Star, where Joe calls. We're hoping to see more of them.

Tonight we went over to Jim and Jane Booth's to play cards. Bob and Doris were also there, and we played a version of Golf that was new to us. Ken as usual led in the early rounds, but Jim won the game. Next we played Three Thirteen, a card game that I've played before under a different name. This time Jane won. We teased the hosts that they had won both games. Jane had prepared a large platter of fresh fruit, including strawberries, pineapple, large grapes, and papaya.

We spent some more time going through our photos. After even a few months, it's sometimes difficult for us to figure out where photos were taken without consulting our blog.
