Dancing the Day and Night Away

Wednesday is our two-dance day. Both Jerry Story's afternoon dance and Joe Saltel's evening dance today had 34 couples in attendance, which makes eight squares at each. Joe's advanced dance this morning had 31 squares. The Winter Texan season is in full swing now and for the next couple of months as Canadians and Americans from the northern latitudes head south to avoid the worst of the winter weather.

Last night we had steady rain, which the area definitely needs. This evening we saw lightning and felt a few drops of rain, but no more measurable precipitation. The plans need more, so we're hoping for more showers tonight.

We had a visitor this morning. A Teton owner stopped by to chat with us about our New Horizons. He remarked on how similar his Teton was to our rig, and from his description it's clear that New Horizons definitely got some design ideas from Teton. Jim said that he and his wife had bought their Teton six months before the company went out of business.

He was particularly interested in heating, including hot water heating. The Teton does not heat when the slides are in, because the heat ducts are covered. We don't have that problem with our Majestic because the heat ducts are mainly in the baseboard ares.

Gary and Judy stopped by briefly. They were out on their bikes. They and Tim and Rosie left on a bike ride as we were heading out on our afternoon walk.


We are planning on attending a health fair this Sunday morning. The first 500 people to show up will get some free health screenings. The catch is we'll have to be fasting and show up at Sharyland High School by 7:00 a.m.
