Boys In Competition - Social


The boys and I are square dancers.  The photos were taken in May 2019 at their last competition before Covid.  Every year at this time, we would be busy practicing and getting outfits ready.  They were a member of the Jack and Jill's Teen Square Dance Club.  We went to Canada 4 times to compete and to Oregon twice.   These teen clubs from Washington, Oregon, and Canada would compete with each other and would take turns hosting the competition.  The one that was going to be in 2020 was going to be a the boys high school.  They were so excited until Covid hit and everything closed down.  It has been 3 years since we danced.  I dont see the boys returning to dancing unless they go with me to dance that the clubs have monthly.  The next few days I am going to share how I started square dancing, how the boys started, and about the present.  It could be a part of my retirement.  I always planned it would be but not quite yet.  So stay tuned.

Catching Up

Sunday was a really busy day.  I felt it was time to return to church in person and all 4 of us were there.  I introduced my family to my friends. Next was Costco to get Regan's cake for her grad party. At 2 pm we were at Tim and Angie's at the party.  It was great seeing everyone again.   Monday I got tires and an oil change for my car.  We also checked on the rebate we got in September.  I have to call the Refund Center tomorrow. Today I got the $189 rebate and off to Lowe's we went.  We bought things for the house and garden.  I plan to plant seeds tomorrow.

Celebrating Brady

Image
Saturday evening the family met up at Magenta's house.  I met her lovely dog and cat.  Saw Darian, Savanna, Bella, Marcia, Kenny, Colleen, and Magenta.  We spent 2 hours talking.  The kids worked on a puzzle.  I had a birthday gift for Bella. Sunday was Brady's birthday celebration at Round 1 at the mall.  We left the boys there and Debra, Kari, and I went to Claim Jumpers for lunch.  It was sooooo good.  I had a Cobb Salad with chicken and a Diet Coke.  Debra shared Spinach Dip and a plate of roast Brussel Sprouts.  Yum. Debra is quiting her job because Don now will be working a job for $7,000 a week.  Oh my goodness! Riley tried food in the food court from the Hamburger Shack plus others.  He praised and praised the food he ate.  He's such a foodie now.  And cooks well himself. Good day

Autumn

Didn't post yesterday but I was going to mention how beautiful this time of year is.  September with summer slipping away and long shadows, October is brilliant with color, and November is subtle and subdued with coziness.  As the wind or rain chases out the last of the leaves, one can see winter coming in.  I am grateful for this time of year and enjoy each moment.
