Competition and Present - Social


The Pacific Northwest Teen Square Dance Festival 2023 is coming.  Covid canceled 2020, 2021, and 2022.  It's been 4 years since there was a competition.  It's going to be at the boy's high school, Auburn Mountainview.  Of course, the boy's haven't been dancing, so they won't be competing.  Besides, things have changed for them.  Brady joined the Robotics club at school and went to college through Running Start.  Riley works part-time as a Math tutor and is a full time Central Washington University student, which takes up his time.  They told me they would attend a dance with me when I finally return to dancing.  They also told me on May 5 and 6 we could drop into the Festival to say hello to all our friends.  So at this point, I don't know when I will feel a "green light" to go back, but I know it's there.  

If you're interested, there are Jack and Jill videos on YouTube.  At competitions, there are levels of square dancing, levels of round dancing, calling (singing) and club exhibition (all together).  Exhibition has a theme.  In 2019, the JJs did High School Musical.  Their outfits reflect that theme.  The year before in 2018 it was Pirates of the Caribbean, and in 2017 it was Alice in Wonderland.  They like Disney.  2015 is missing.  And Riley was dancing in 2014, but not in the Exhibition.  We started September 2013.  Anyway, go to Jack and Jill's PNTSDF in YouTube and there's a Playlist.

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.

Christmas Time

Image
The fall season of orange, gold, and brown is suddenly over.  Pumpkins are put away.  But we continue to give thanks. It's been a lovely autumn.  October was brilliant with color in the trees.  November has been subdued but cozy.  Beautiful sunny days were gorgeous. Kari has been sick this week and didn't go to work Tuesday and Wednesday.  She's been left alone to sleep.   We are looking forward to decorating for Christmas.  We already had a few Christmas things out mixed in with the Thanksgiving decorations at our house.

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.
