Yes Lessons this Wed. Aug 8 & Celebrate Marilyn's Birthday

Greetings Everyone....I am soooo ready to dance. Let's Do It! Alert.....Yes, we are having lessons this Wednesday.  I have visited National Parks ( The Bad Lands, The Black Hills, Yellowstone, and the beautiful Parks in Utah and Colorado. Yes, we were able to get out Passport Books stamped in the Nat. Parks and Nat. Monuments (which I really enjoyed). Do you know the difference in a Nat. Forest and a Nat. Monument. I sure didn't. Actually, I thought a Monument was a statue. The Monuments we saw were gorgeous places of nature that a President has the authority to declare a monument. The Nat. Forests are voted in by the Congress. If that is incorrect, you will have to question the assistent at the Visitor Center in Utah. So much to see and learn and soooo little time. We actually, traveled 4266 miles through ten states. I had a wonderful time with wonderful people and am happy to be home.    Looking forward to seeing all of you and dancing. We will have lessons starting Aug 8, 15, 22, 29 and on into the fall months. There will be NO  Friday Country dances during the month of August since I will be traveling to different dance workshops around the country. Mark your calendars for Oct 27 to attend a Saturday Line & Flow dance workshop in Jacksonville put on by County Line Dancers.   Here is a list of dances that you can review on You Tube. Catch 32 Line dance (type this after each dance name) Stray Cat Strut Barn Dance Partner Mixer Cadillac and Caviar Cowboy Charleston Come Dance with Me Ten Step Texas Style One Step Forward (Single Line Dance) Penny Arcade(uploaded by Cuyler Griff) Cupid Shuffle Momma Maria   I plan to have a celebration with cake so please come to celebrate with me. Thank you to those of you who called me on the 26th. Again, see you Wed evening Aug 8. Come early if you like. I am there usually by 6:30. Any questions...please call or email me!
