Enjoying the Texas Weather

Here it is February and the weather is great. I am still keeping very busy with my computer club, quilting for needy and line dancing. I told you I had gotten new shoes to dance in. I had to take them back as well as the new tennis shoes I had bought. I found out they caused my big toe to hurt so after wearing each pair only once, I took them back to Sears and while there, I got another pair of New Balance tennis shoes. I had decided I wanted a pair of open toe sandals, with a strap in back. Sears didn't have any so I went to Penny's and found a pair there. After trying on one size, decided they were just a little too short as my big toe on my right foot hung over just a fraction. Tried on the next size up (no half sizes) and decided to get them. I really like them, but after wearing them to line dancing one time, I think I should of gotten the size smaller. Now it is my left foot that is the problem..................I just can't get it right. I ended up wearing the new tennis shoes to line dancing yesterday and they seemed to do ok. I will have to work on breaking in the sandals but first I have to get rid of the sore off my toe. LOL

I am really enjoying the line dancing, I have even been on the Internet watching Utube videos on line dancing. One of the dances we do is what is called the "Cupid Shuffle" We were told this is a very popular dance with the kids, so I went on and watched some of the video's. I have to say, what we do in class looks nothing like what the kids do. There was one video with a one eyed grandmother and I think we do it better then her. One would think that when you are line dancing you are doing it in a line. This is true for most of it.........but some of the dances we are doing in circle. I must say....................I don't like the circle dances..............would rather do them in a line. I bought a CD with all the music we used and have the dances wrote down, so I should be able to keep them up over the summer. If nothing else................it is good exercise.

The computer club is still going strong. I seems to learn something new each week, but a lot of it is stuff I already know. I have even helped correct the instructors once in a while. Hope they don't that offence buy that. This weeks beginners lesson is on emails. Everyone is suppose to write a letter and have it ready to be put into an email. Guess I better get that done...................don't want to mess up the class.

This next weekend and the following is going to be busy for me. On Friday...............I will be setting up a table at a craft sale at our old park (Sleepy Valley). Then the next day I will be doing a craft sale at our now park (Bentsen Grove). Then Valentines Day is another craft sale here at this park. Why 2 you ask?????? The one this Saturday is for only people in this park to have tables for sale and the one next week is outsiders can set up. Not sure how I will do..........but it is something to do. As many of you know, I have my beaded sun catchers, tissue boxes and many crocheted items. If I don't do very well this month, I may not do it next month.

Roger has been busy working in the yard and doing odd projects around here. My office chair needed some repair work done, so after many days of hammering on it and trying to get the legs off, he finally borrowed a sledge hammer and off it came. He put it back together and put some screws in it so the middle post would not slide all the way down to floor (that's what it had done.)
Now he is putting border around the fruit trees with mulch and later he will be getting rock to put on ground towards the back of our place. It is all dirt now and really gets so it blows a lot of dirt all over the place. We don't have much yard, just what is between our deck and the neighbors trailer. I front part by street has grass (if that is what one wants to call it) so will leave it as is. He has been planting some flowers also. I will take some photos as soon as I think he is done.

It is time for me to work on our taxes..........and I have to get that done this month. We will be leaving Texas around first part of April and I want them done before that.

I really like doing this blog................and I am sure all our friends and family enjoy reading it. The only problem with it....................I don't get much email back telling me all your news. I guess that is what phones are for..................they have taken over writing letters. Guess that is enough of my complaining.................LOL. I must be getting old. Hope I don't end up sounding like my mother................guess I should watch that.

Till later!!!!!!!
