St Pete 16

Sept 26, 2012

I'm enjoying my morning walks now that it is turning a little cooler.  The oppressive humidity only comes out in the afternoon for a little while.  The rest of the time it is very pleasant here.

Karen came over this afternoon.  We sat in the shade by the pool, overlooking the bay, and played cribbage.  She won one game and I won one.  In between games, we lounged in the pool.  Geez, is this the life, or what?

My chiropractor friend, George, who lives a five-minute walk from the Gulfport Casino, offered to drive over here to St Pete (4 miles away) to get me to bring me to Swing Dance Night.  What a sweetie!  He picked me up early so I could attend the class, and then he and his girlfriend, Vivi, who know how to dance swing, came for the public dance (see photo of them).  I had a blast!  For once, there were more men than women.  People don't believe that I've only sat in on three swing dance lessons.  My years of Latin dancing have helped me tremendously.

Also at the dance, I met two UUs!  There are so few of us, what are the odds of my meeting two other Unitarian Universalists at the same dance?  Both Emily and Laurie said they go up to the UU Clearwater church where there is a dynamic minister from India.  George asked Laurie to take me home from the dance since it was on her way, so we got to talking, and that's how I found out she was a UU.
