He was indeed. Just love the clever wordsmiths. Pics you say? Heck... now the pressure's on! I thought I did well to photograph my shoes... [which incidentally went back again to the shoe repair yesterday for rubber heel tips - seems the roughing up wasn't rough enough!] LOL Okay... pics... shall see what I can come up with. Watch this space! :-) Hey Nick…

Funny how when I resolved to say yes... life simply no longer took no for an answer! I've always loved to dance. I learned at school... but sadly DH was not an extrovert like me (((chuckles)) Now that I can dance like no-one is watching... I intend to do all the things I've always wanted to do. And I'm on a mission to accomplish everything I can. Yep... I will get hurt. Nothing surer. Especially me who wears her heart on her sleeve [and perilous shoes on her feet!] But I guess if we're not hurting we're not living... what do you reckon? Hahaha… thanks Mary! :-)

Love ballroom dancing, and love women who dance! How bout some pics?? Nothing better for keeping those legs in shape, and it's fun too. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off....

I wouldn't even dance at my own wedding, (and I married into an Italian family...gasp!). I'm learning to throw off my self conscience little by little but I"m an introverted coward when it comes to dancing. I envy those on the dance floor...so care free and spirited! And yes, I even envy the ones that fall on occassion and ESPECIALLY those that get back up and dance some more! Bravo! Perhaps my "soul" needs a little roughening up so I can have some fun too!

I got through last night without breaking anything...YAY... and now have the foxtrot, the cha cha cha, the progressive jive, and modern waltz under my belt. Let me tell you... it's hard work... but a lot of fun. So glad I am saying yes to the Universe... although with the mention of golf I may have to find a diplomatic way to answer the question without saying no... if I am ever going to get any painting done [at all] in daylight hours. Hmmm.... (((chuckles))) Well… I got through last night without breaking anything…YAY… and now have the foxtrot, the cha cha cha, the progressive jive, and modern waltz under my belt.

Time to get back on the horse. Heck... why so much easier said than done? But I can be brave. And I still have a whopping great bruise on my right knee as a reminder... so perhaps people will be kind to me. LOL Hmmm… dancing again tonight. Time to get back on the horse.

LOL As for the kind soul who got me up... I think HE was the one responsible for me going down in the first place (just a little too much exuberance sometimes in those progressive dances - each partner trying to outdo the next with some added fancy moves) I got caught off guard and sent into a spin I wasn't counting on. But never mind... lesson learned... and I will be ready next time. And so will the newly roughed up soles of my shoes! So glad you got the heart (sole) connection... grin.

Was wondering why it was so quiet around here!!! Thought it must have been something I said. (Uh-oh) Grin. [Akismet has been acting strange lately... and sectioning off comments for no apparent reason why] I found you and Vernita backstage... and have now reinstated both! John... if you are repeating yourself I love it that you do. Your support for me here is always very much appreciated! :-) Hi John… thanks for alerting me about your missing comment.

Some people would blame the shoes and shoot them. Shoes need to be trained, like horses, so they won't throw you. Good story, Jean, and I’m so glad you weren’t deterred.
