A Dancing Family

This year at Thanksgiving Bennett had some new dance moves. Some of the family thought he had just inherited the family dance gene since he had some really funky moves but Laurie and I discovered that he indeed had some new dances. We later saw his entertaining mommie, who is actually a good dancer, doing the Roger Rabbit and him joining in with the same, well similar, moves. Then she moved on to the Cotton Eyed Joe which he also had obviously done before. They dance a lot in that house. And play the guitar and sing too!

We are just a dancing family! ..............Well, actually, we are NOT a dancing family. It is not that we are against dancing, it is just that most of us are not good at it. ( Sorry folks!)

When my nephew, Bradley, was about seven years old Jimmy bought a box a LP's at a yard sale in Douglas. Since Daddy had a stereo that worked, Bradley wanted to play some of the albums. We were all home that weekend for Daddy's birthday.... so, well of course.........when you have a house full of people and songs playing on a stereo you should have a dance. And we did. " Dance Party" was born. Bradley played the records and we all danced. And. We had a ball!.....Laughing and dancing the night away!!! There are pictures, but luckily I can not put my hands on them at the moment.

We need to have another " Dance Party" when Bradley graduates from high school in a few years. We'll invite all of his friends. Maybe he'll have a girlfriend and we'll invite her too. We'll see if she has enough intestinal fortitude to hang with a dancing family. Well, a non dance family having "Dance Party".
