We would have to clear that with his wife, as well as with Seelerman.

I don't know if LuceNDs square dances. One needs to take courses for even the beginnner level; and calling is a skilled job.
p.s. I know you are joking. Maybe we could do it as a skit at a Christmas party.

I wasn’t actually joking. It needn’t be a big deal or a scandal or make anybody jealous...that was a joke. It could just be innocent fun, and someone to go with if Seelerman can’t. Of course, it’s not up to me to volunteer LuceNDs for square dancing. :) It was just an idea.

Actually there are two couples I would feel comfortable asking if they were going. Seelerman and I have carpooled with one couple on occasion - and once I went with them when Seelerman was unexpectly called to work. The other couple lives near me and also offered on that occasion.
No problem finding someone to dance with. We haveseveral widowers or otherwise single men. And some of the women have learned to take the men's roles in dancing. And there are always a few (like me) who prefer to sit out every second or third dance.
But this time I got the feeling that Seelerman didn't want US to go - maybe worried abour my physical limitations.





Interesting - maybe something I could use locally at some time in the future. Not yet - remember we are talking square dancing.

Do you use the regular transit system?





:)
 
Is it just me? Is this the restaurant at the end of the universe where we see the words "Luce" and "square dance" appear in one sentence? o_O

Today after church I overheard Seelerman tell someone that his back has been bothering him. He probably overdid it earlier in the week. I wish he had told me. I was worried that he was thinking that I'm getting too slow and unsteady to dance. Also, I think He feels stressed.

My husband keeps his aches and pains to himself too (unlike me who broadcasts them loudly!) And, on occasion, it has been misinterpreted by me when he doesn't want to join me in some adventure. But, like you, I find my own version of fun and renewal when that happens. You have some extra worries though. Sending hugs and a level of understanding.
 
I've had times when I really miss having my car. I scrapped it earlier in the spring & decided I could make do with other modes of transportation. It's times like this when I wish I still had my car and Seeler and I could go anywhere!
 
The posts here reminded me of a song from back in my past......I can only recall fragments right now but here goes...….

"I joined an old time dance club
The problem was that there
Were too many ladies over and
no gentlemen to spare.

My partner's Mrs Chiverton
Who's light on her feet in spite of
Tipping the scale at sixteen stone
And being of medium height."

A benefit of dances where there are leads and follows, and some who can do both, even if they do prefer to do one. Gender doesn't have to dictate the parts.

Here, these 2 have some fun with it -
 
Benders ... 2 men dancing together ... in order to get the piously established all out of shape of the stated status quo ...

Strange Loves in the background ... like supporting urge to break into uproarious laughter ... but stifled so as to not upset the slave drivers!

This diverse state can sheer some mine into 'ava*ys ... Marah images!

I remember 2 old stoic aunts prancing about town in stuffed mens long underwear to get the same attention the night before all-saints day ... as an insane measure of some sort! Life is like that ... insane and some bigots will go to great extent to prove they're not against all appearances ... and followers will reassure them!

It appears to me exceptional ... that they believe me crazy! Fixates my abstract that there must be in between portions missing!

So much missing stuff to talk about and attempt to connect in sacred chords ... hidden loops?

Not that unusual in the community I used to dance with.
Yes, many of the males were leads and many of the females were follows, but it wasn't weird to see a female who preferred to lead and a male who preferred to follow. Most people were capable of doing the other role to some extent too, and when dancing it's possible for a follow to 'steal the lead'.

Interestingly, everyone I know and met face to face that are transgender were from that community.

This may trans dispose of some concepts that some parts of god are exclusive and cannot fall into the ranges of all inclusive portions of everything. Yet it seems modern christianity is more enthused by separation, divination and other walls ... thus we can't conceive of strange things ... is that denial construct and formation of dark holes in the white sky syndrome?

This morning in the CBC news online ... someone excused the POTUS for intolerance ... and thus the conflict between acceptance and tolerant! Recall these are just words ... often eliminated due to poor knowledge ... all part of the nominal word ... that part you can't name ... you cannot know or possess ... and thus the awareness thereof slips into dark and unnamable places ... unspeakable fish droppings ... if you know what I mean about denial.

When denied piously I question the concepts of everything that was, is and is going to be God ... but is not yet-ah-boies! Then to much of the status quo ... I am virtually unknown ... sort of partisan or under the cover of something they rather no see ... metaphor of occult ... that being black and colourless! Shades of vanishing djinns ... in essence ... phantoms of the sol ... odd scattered thoughts?
 
The end of July, can you believe Summer is almost half over? I hope you're all enjoying it.
But for me summer is not the favourite season; in fact I sometimes think of it as down-time. Everything shuts down:
– the bowling league stopped for the summer at the end of May. This year we didn't don't even have casual bowling because this building has been sold and is being renovated.
– Square dancing stopped in June. One club held a special dance in July, but Seelerman wasn't feeling well and we didn't go.
These were two activities that I enjoy doing every week, September to May.
– The book club takes the summer of.
– My home church closes its doors for the month of July to worship with his sister UCC. They will be joining us in August.
– Even the Wednesdays @Wilmot where we provide food for those in need takes a summer off so I don't get to do my volunteering. (I don't think hunger takes the summer off.)
– My Parkinson's support group – summer off.

And people tend to be away – out of their cottage or enjoying a trip, making it harder to arrange spur of the moment activities with friends or neighbours.

I guess I didn't plan very good for this summer. I'm finding the days long, and my health seems to be deteriorating. I have no ambition to get up and do things, go for a walk by myself, find out what's going on in the city (outdoor concerts, ball games and tennis in the park to watch, cultural events in the downtown area, etc.) instead I seem to spend a lot of time sitting in a recliner feeling sorry for myself.

But I've been told to look for the high points.
– We replaced our two old air-conditioners with a heat exchanger, and we are very happy with that. After a few days of adjustment we seem to have it set up the right temperature to keep the house cool and comfortable.
– I had the pleasure of meeting ninjafaery and spending some time with her. I hope this continues since she is settling in Fredericton in her retirement.
– I have successfully led to worship services in July and have two more books for August.
– My nephew, who I haven't seen for some time, will be touring the Maritimes with his wife and another couple in August, and they plan to stop here for a day or two.
– My sister (his mother) plans to visit me at the same time and hopefully stay a few days either before or after his arrival.
– Seelerman continues to be my main support. We see Seelergirl and her family at least once a week and have enjoyed her swimming pool several times the summer. Seelerboy phoned from the other side of the world recently.
– And my writer's group doesn't close up completely the for the summer but tried to get together twice a month as usual. So I am encouraged to prepare something to read and discuss, as well as hearing the other members reading their writing.

I do hope that we will get a trip to Ontario in the fall.
 
Saturday, the end of another week. It’s been a busy one, but I accomplished quite a bit.
Sunday I was leading worship at my former little church and my message was well received. It was nice to reconnect with old friends. In the afternoon I visited my cousin in hospital to learn that she is going home, the crisis over. It was touch and go for a few days when she was in intensive care.
Monday was rest day – my Sabbath after leading worship.
Tuesday as usual was grocery day.

Wednesday I woke up feeling good. So I started laundry, and hung two lines of laundry out on our new clothesline. (Seelerman and I are attempting to go green.) Then it was time to tackle the job I’ve been putting off – cleaning the fridge. I took everything out; discovering a few things, like a half a cucumber, that had been forgotten for some time. I washed off the shelves and vegetable bins. It was quite a job. Something had been spilled and dripped down under the bins. I actually had to get Seelerman to help me scrub it off. Then everything put back in. By then, with the trips up and down stairs for the laundry and the bending and stretching at the fridge, I felt exhausted. Seelerman made a late lunch and I relaxed in my recliner until it was time to make dinner.

Thursday I did another load of laundry before my guest arrived. Ninjafaery has moved to Fredericton, and I had invited her to come and ‘hang out’ with me for the day. Our project was to make cookies. My recipe is a big one, it makes six dozen or so. We split them in three ways: for ninjafaery, me, and my cousin. Then we prepared a big dinner of porkchops, potatoes, and fresh yellow beans. While it was cooking, I hit the wall – so tired that I felt I needed to sit down. It seemed either I would have to turn the stove off until I regained my strength, or call Seelerman in from his yard work. Instead, my guest offered to watch the cooking.
After tidying up, reading the newspaper, and relaxing, we decided that, rather than play our planned game of Scrabble, we would go downtown to see the Acadian Festival that Ninjafaery read about in the paper. We all had a good time as we walked around the displays and tried to speak a few words in French. Again I was exhausted, but it was a good feeling to be tired from having done something.

Friday was another rest day – except for a quick trip down to my cousin’s place to deliver the cookies, which were much appreciated.

And Saturday we bottled beer.
 
Nice to see you and Ninjafaery making a connection :-) Sounds like you're having no trouble keeping busy!
