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” […] A good friend of mine, a folk dancer (and teacher) recently turned 80 years old! Instead of a big party, she chose to learn to “sing” the Torah portion. The word for this is cantillation, or “trope”. One chants according to little marks by the words. It’s quite a feat, and Ann did it so […] Continuing with festivals, last Friday our gang attended the local Greek Festival at the Greek Church on Swann. We go every year and usually are never disappointed. This year however, they had the live music (great band) outside in the tent, instead of the main hall. It was cold, but we danced out there anyway, […] 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 […] I love it when I get to use 3 F’s – I think the word is alliteration. So!

We started at 11:00 a.m,, stopped for a delicious lunch, made by all of us […] I’ve been making buttons for years. And it seems the jobs always come in threes, as do good things, bad things, etc. This last few weeks I did some Zumba buttons for a friend that is giving personalized ones to her friends, and also starting to sell them; another friend that does karaoke is giving […] Life is good! The 3rd of July found me at a party across the street from my daughter, with great food and good conversation with 2 guys who had traveled as much as me, and comparisons flew!

In this case , it’s Four Green Fields, down in Hyde Park. There are “leaders” of the group, but people […] I couldn’t have had a worse weekend. Saturday morning I got lost and was too late to fence in the Women’s Foil, but was allowed to fence later in the Vets at the end of the day. In the meantime Debbie asked me to referee and I did that all day long until time to […] Memorial Day Weekend 2010. I haven’t been to a tournament in a long time, so entered the Divisionals that took place in Dunedin. I only entered the Women’s Foil and Epee (there was no saber) as I didn’t feel lilke spending more money on the “Opens”. I did pretty good! I took 3rd in both […] |
