We make an effort to stay up until 10 and that means I make an effort. David is asleep long before that. He's like a cat and asleep more than he's awake. Meanwhile I've learned to entertain myself with solitary pursuits.

The girls wanted to dance with the elder husband and the guys with his wife. All reportedly had a wonderful time. Wish they had a dancing group for older singles here but seems to be all couples here.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-499560081709214672015-11-18T15:39:33.165-05:002015-11-18T15:39:33.165-05:00I have been to fifties and sixties themed dances, ...I have been to fifties and sixties themed dances, but a forties era dance is an interesting idea.

The forties -- the war experience and the music are so ingrained in us, even though few of us really have vivid memories of that time (I was born a little over a week before the war in Europe ended). That was the music our parents played when we were little and the scars of war experiences played out in so many ways in our homes.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-12895461833361338112015-11-18T10:47:18.540-05:002015-11-18T10:47:18.540-05:00You sure do seek out some interesting spots to spe...You sure do seek out some interesting spots to spend your time.

We, too, would have headed home around ten, but what a great bit of exercise and enjoyment we would have had up until then.Janishttp://retirementallychallenged.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-23297011009149088792015-11-17T18:08:30.501-05:002015-11-17T18:08:30.501-05:00Great post.

That period of time was so long ago, but very near in my heart.
