    Machka- I didn't say I dance well :D I just love it. I put on music at home and dance. I would love to learn ballroom. Husband has no rhythm and no desire. We have danced maybe 7 times including our wedding. At some point I would love to find an adult ballet class. I took ballet up to Pointe when I was a child along with tap. When I lived in the Philippines, I learned square dancing, round dancing,, and clogging. My ex is a square dance caller still. I still love to dance with everyone at weddings and parties. That reminds me of my first high school dance. I asked a friend how you get a guy to ask you to dance. She said sit on the bleachers and move with the music. After a few great songs, I got brave. I walked up to a group of guys and asked who wanted to dance! My friend was horrified! I ended up dancing all night with a great partner. I follow well. Lots of turns, flips, fun! He sucked as a boyfriend (has been married 4 times), but a great dancer.

    I've never danced.

    My parents didn't think it was appropriate when I was young and I was (and still am) very introverted so the idea of dancing with people watching didn't seem at all appealing anyway.

    My first dance experience was at my high school grad. All the grads and partners were to gather in the middle of the gym, the lights would dim, the music would start and we were all supposed to do the first dance. My partner didn't know how to dance either so when we were herded into the middle, we hung toward the edge and when the lights dimmed, we just sidled away and left.

    My first wedding had a short afternoon tea as the reception with no dancing. My second wedding's reception was at a restaurant. The 6 of us who attended had a nice meal and conversation.

    In a "How to Teach Physical Education to Children" class in university, there was part of one class where we learned a small sort of aerobic/dance step pattern but I wouldn't really call it dancing.


    There is a dance school nearby and my husband and I comment now and then that we should look into a very, very beginner course for us. But we haven't done anything about it.

    Still ... it looks fun.

    I don't have a favorite cardio; I prefer variety. My favorite part of the whole deal is my most excellent music!

    Went to Merritt Island and was only able to get the yarn I wanted. They don't carry the other things I wanted. Will probably run over to Hobby Lobby (yuk) to get those things.

    Then we went to a ceramics place but they mainly do classes with small pieces. However, she did give us a good lead on another place that has lots of Disney characters. Only the father died and next weekend they're having his celebration of life. That works for us since we'll be at the Daytona anyway and can't possibly go there. So we'll probably go another time.

    Came home and had lunch. Maybe I'll walk over to HL

    Kylia - My mother is a square dancer. She spends winters in south Texas and dances several times a day. I never liked it that much, but she tries hard to keep it alive with the grandkids when she’s back at home.

    I would love to take tap dancing lessons. I found a place that gives them and that also has a tap cardio class. I will sign up for that once we close on our property sale. I’m just too stressed right now to do much.

    Cardio - I run. More like a slow gallop, but it's faster than walking. I like it. I just get bored when the only place I get to do it is around my neighborhood. That's part of the downside to not having a car or reasonable public transport.

    Heather - Edie is very creative. I am impressed.

    It's a lovely day outside. We tried going out on our friend's boat, but when he started it up, a belt broke loose. So, I went on a walk and am about to sit outside for a while It's supposed to get cold and stormy starting tomorrow and lasting through Wednesday or so.

    Tracey - How they love making things out of cardboard! Thank goodness for Amazon! :D DH spent a lot of time pushing around a huge box with Max crawling inside it, scaring the girls.
    We also did some Art with feathers, pipe cleaners and lollipop sticks. I made a fairy. Edie made Mr Forkie. Max drew a giant squid attacking a pirate ship. :D
    Your evening sounds great. <3 I rely a lot on DH for the fun bit, I get on with the food and clearing up.

    Time for bed. We are promised Storm Ciara for later tonight and tomorrow. I hope our TV aerial stays up!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
