Beautiful Day

Today was a lovely day, warm and inviting, with a blue sky stippled with white clouds here and there. I rode with Jan and Steve to Tropic Star for Joe Saltel's C-1 class. On the way I got to eat a really delicious tangelo fresh from their tree, and they gave me a bag to take home. There's nothing like tree ripened fruit.

There were 29 couples today. Chris recruited an angel from the park to be my partner--thanks, Jack! Darryl and Decah were dancing with the class, and Darryl gave me one of their cards, with their blog url: http://hogtrails.blogspot.com/ Jeff might enjoy some of their adventures.

I talked with Julie this evening. On top of everything else she has a sinus infection, so now she is getting hardly any sleep at all. She'll be the first new mother in history to get more sleep after the baby is born! Her appointment this week is Tuesday, and she's hoping to convince her doctor that 37 weeks sounds like a good time for this baby to be born.

Ken took this shot on a walk in our park:

Ken said today that he thinks he may be able to handle C-1 lessons earlier than he had originally thought. We talked about the calls that have been taught so far. He has danced many of them already, so he won't have too much catching up to do.
