Dancing

This morning we went to Darryl's C-1 class. It started with 26 couples, and we thought we were going to have to sit out a tip, but two couples from the neighborhood came to fill in the squares, so everyone danced. It was a good session--Darryl's an excellent teacher, and we came away feeling like we had learned something. He reviewed Shake Down quite a bit, using two couple squares, and taught Flip the Line. Most of the rest was review, which we need plenty of.

Steve and Jan were there, mainly recovered from their recent ailments. Bob and Pat were there too, after being out because of Pat's allergies this week. It was good to see everyone. Bob Reece has been busy rewriting the La Hacienda  neighborhood covenants, but he says they are almost certainly DOA, which is very discouraging. Some of the residents are just problematic. Doris has gotten her films now and is planning to call Dr. Six Monday and go to her ortho appointment Tuesday. We are sure hoping she'll get in with Dr. Six and get some relief.

This afternoon Hardy and Judy picked me up to go to the Saltel/Nordbye special. Ken stayed home to rest. His back has been bothering him. The dance was fun, mainly because Joe and Dan have fun together, but the dance level wasn't very high. Afterwards we came by and picked Ken up and went to a Cuban restaurant that Hardy and Judy like called Cucina de Caribe in Mission. Ken and I shared the Mayor's Special: pork roast, plantain chips, Cuban black beans and rice, and cole slaw. Everything was delicious, especially the well seasoned beans. Ken's back started bothering him from sitting in the chair so long.

We had a good conversation about Yellowstone and things to see nearby. Judy is from Montana and has been to the park all her life, so she has lots of insights. They are planning a cruise to Alaska from Seattle this summer with one of Judy's brothers.
