We went to the State Park this morning to see some birds and get some exercise. We walked around the outside loop and down to the Hawk Tower, where we didn’t see any hawks, but did see Mexico. We saw lots of Green Jays as usual, and one Great Kiskadee that posed for Ken’s camera.
After a quick lunch we headed out to Darryl’s C-1 workshop, taking our guests along to see us dancing and meet our friends. We had fifteen couples plus Bob, so Jim Booth was called to fill in, making four squares even. After the first two tips, Darryl’s laptop battery died. What to do? We could have open squares and trust everyone to try to mix the squares up. But wait! We could use “cards,” which is what everyone did before computer squares.
We had fun, and before the dance was over, Darryl got Chris and Shawn and Anara up to dance. He tried to get David and G.W.’s friend Peter up too, but Peter said he’d be happy to get up if Darryl set up a boxing ring—but that he didn’t dance. Chris and Shawn and Anara did very well and seemed to enjoy themselves.
On the way home we stopped at Dollar Tree and Target. Both were humming with business. The Dollar Tree shelves were nearly empty in the Christmas area. December 23 is definitely not the best day to shop.
I made butternut squash lasagna for dinner. It was a hit. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Of course Anara had to pick out the squash and spinach!
