It ‘s ME!

I never post here, but since I’m updating my dance lists, I’m blogging too! Life has not changed much in these past few years – I’m still dancing, fencing, doing yoga, playing my accordion, grooming dogs, writing funny Seders with my Greater Seder gang – had a few medical mishaps along the way, but still […]

GREAT AMERICAN TEACH – IN

I was asked to teach folk dancing at a grade school on the day of the Great American Teach-In, where teachers ask parents or friends to teach something to the students that isn’t a regular class. I taught 4 times – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and special kids. I was afraid they wouldn’t understand what “international” […]

YOGA ON SUNDAY IN THE PARK

The weather is now perfect for Yoga in the Park on Sundays. It’s at 5:00, now that the time has changed, so that we aren’t practicing in the dark. A different teacher does the lesson each week, some better than others, but always nice. There are at least 50 people there each time. Maybe it’s […]

PINK ROSE TEA

2 years in a row now I’ve been a guest of Bobbi’s at the Tampa Woman’s Club’s Pink Rose Tea, which is a marvelously old fashioned – and yet teas are coming back- put on expressly to raise money for cancer. Each year they pick a different form, last year Breast, this year, the Suncoast […]

TWO MUSIC JAM Once a month, lots of musicians in the Tampa Bay area get together to pay Irish music, at a – what else? – an Irish Pub! In this case , it’s Four Green Fields, down in Hyde Park. There are “leaders” of the group, but people […]

GARAGE SALE TOTAL DUD

My daughter moved from one big trailer to a small one, and prior to the big one had been in a house. She had a huge shed full of “stuff” and finally decided it was time to have a garage sale. She has to work (grooming dogs) all of the time so I was the […]

YOGA IN THE PARK

My Yoga teacher, Dale (the best in the city) told us he was teaching on a Sunday at Curtis Hixon Park at 6:00. Naturally I went to see what was up. Turns out, there has been Yoga in the Park for almost a year, I just didn’t know about it. And it’s FREE! There must […]

DUPLICATE BRIDGE BUTTONS

Originally posted on 4/14/2009 @ 7:39:47 am by creatingbuttons.com My mom earned a math scholarship to college, but it was during the depression, so instead she went to secretarial school, and spent the rest of her life typing. But the genius in the brain continued through the exciting game of bridge. Over the years […]

MANATEES IN FLORIDA

Bobbie, my good friend who is a true cracker, born and raised in these parts, suggested we go see the Manatees that are “hosted” by TECO just south of Tampa. TECO has built a marvelous viewing center for visitors, and the best visitors are the manatees, who love to come there, as TECO spews […]

CHILHULY

When my sister and I went to see Little House on the Prairie, it took place at “The Phil” (thePhilharmonic Center for the Arts) in Naples, we also saw an art exhibit. Chihuly, a famous glass blower, had a number of his pieces there and they are magnificent. I have attended two other shows […]
