“Free Lessons in Dancing and Love”
With trepidation, we drive to the
Cowboy Saloon, Friend Louise and I.
Can you teach us to country
line dance? The instructors, Chris and
Ray, say sure! And they do.
And it’s fun. Twenty-eight years
later we are still together. Married.
Chris and Louise, Ray and me.
Still practicing steps hard and easy
in the crazy dance of life.
Just like we did on cinco
de mayo; a Monday that year.
Ray, say sure! And they do.

So so sweet!!!! Love this! My husband did a lot of line dancing in high school – plaid shirt and cowboy hat – the whole deal. That was before I knew him, but I'd love to have an evening with him in an old barn with him in a cowboy hat. Think I'd need a time machine though!!

Happy Anniversary Maureen. Great story poem, fun image (as always). Here's to continuing the easy and hard steps (we will make it to 22 years this month). I'm having a break from blogging for a bit – technology finally broke me 😦 One last post today for a while, but I'll be back and will do some blog hopping of course, so keep up the good work. Theresa 🙂
