I went walking with the seniors outdoors group again this morning. Did I tell you that I join them a little ways into the walk? I'm still not sure I can do the whole five miles. I think that I cut off two miles from where I join them. Anyway, I talked to someone new on the way to our destination, and on the way back, Larry and I continued our discussion/debate from the last time. We are on opposite sides of pharmaceuticals, and both pretty passionate about it!
Afterward, most of us went to lunch. I sat with new people again, except for a couple people from Bunco the other day. I had a great time, again. Who knew I was so talkative?! I am really enjoying these outings and all the people I'm meeting.
Friday
I did my walk in the morning, and ran into Rosemary. I had met her at Bunco, and sat across from her at the restaurant on Wednesday. It was nice talking to someone on my walk. I am so used to walking alone every day but Wednesdays, and this was nice. She lives not too far from me.
On my way to square dancing tonight, while driving on the road that connects to the main road, I saw about ten deer spread across both sides of the road. It looked like a few of them were last year's fawns . . . this year's yearlings. I stopped when I saw them, so I could admire their grace and beauty. I looked at them. They looked at me. I looked at them. They looked at me. They were totally unconcerned, and just kept right on eating as if I didn't exist. It was cool.
I had almost gotten to the senior center, where the square dance is held, when I saw fireworks going on in front of me. Starting Wednesday, and going through the weekend, is an event called "Snowdown in da Nile." It has Egyptian themed events. Picture Cleopatra in the snow! They were having a cool light parade down Main Street, but I couldn't give up my square dancing!
I just saw a few fireworks, but they were cool.
Square dancing was a blast as usual. None of the other newbies have been to all four lessons, so I am sometimes pulled into one of the main dances. They are difficult with calls I don't know, but with a little pulling and pushing, I usually get through it! That is the more experienced dancers pulling me and pushing me into the right direction! If they didn't do that, I'd be really stuck! Anyway, I had a great time. I found out that if I stick with it, and I can't imagine not sticking with it since I love it so much, that in May I will actually "graduate." How cool is that!?!
