Finally, the Driving Range!

I went to the Rotary meeting yesterday and it was held at the Pine-Richland Youth Center in Gibsonia. The local Rotary Club supports their work. They catered a luncheon for us, and we learned about all their programs for children -they have about 120 basketball teams use their facility, they work with mentally and developmentally challenged youth and provide a summer education extension program for kids who need to continue their schooling through the summer so they don't get behind. The speaker did a nice job of both informing us and inspiring us with his stories and committmet to making the lives of the youth better.

Well, yesterday was finally warm enough to go to the driving range and hit some golf balls. Oh what a wonderful feeling! The Rowan range is about 5 miles from my house. I had a nice time trying to recall what I've learned over the years. Dee emptied a vew more packing boxes while I ws gone and she found two items we'd not been able to locate - a giant green crayon bank and an inflatable exercise ball. We knew we packed them, but just couldn't find them... The lost has been found, again.

Since Wednesday is our dance class lesson at BC3 we try to include several stops on our drive there. Yesterday saw us picking up the completed wedding album, eating out, going to Sears, stopping by Dee's mom's place and stopping by Dee''s sister, Ruth's place with some clothes for her son, Larry. He's about my size and I had some nice sweaters and shirts which are in good condition, but no longer use. Larry said, "Wow, this is it's my birthday. These are great!"

Dance class was part two of the "Hustle." A step we still don't get very well. But it was better last night than the first night. We even learned a new step with the hustle called the "sugar push." Next week we'll learn to do the sugar push with the Jitterbug and East Coast Swing. But we better practice or we'll have troubles I'm sure.

Russ and Kathy were there so we stayed after class and visited with them over a bottle of pop (or as they say in Jersey - soda.)We heard about their Easter, Kathy's trip to Boston to see their daughter, and their up coming trip to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. They have a 2 week timeshare there every other year. Nice. It was a great day!
