Dancing Classes with Friends
Today, Duane, Mark and I took a class from Chiche and Marta on Elegant Tango Moves. They are and older couple who have been dancing 50 years and are very elegant and smooth dancers.

Sewing Satisfaction
When Mary and I went to Forsyths, the day we saw all the roosters, I got some great fabric for a bed-skirt and pillow shams to go on the bed in Amanda’s old room for the soon to be Bed and Breakfast. I used an existing European Sham for a template for the [...]

Spring Chickens
What exactly is a spring chicken? You don’t ever hear people say “oh look she is such a spring chicken”. You only hear it as “she ain’t no spring chicken”. I guess it would be nice to not be not a spring chicken. But oh well…. my ramblings on the ramifications of being or not being a Spring Chicken started when I

Tango on the brain
“The Anniversary” by Ernie Barnes
I had to pass on Tango in Piedmont Park today and just chill. It has been a busy weekend. We had a dinner and tango party here on Friday night for the Atlanta people who are going to Buenos Aries in March - and those who we wish were going. [...]
