St Patrick's Day

Carl was discharged from the hospital on late morning of St Patrick's Day. He wanted me to dance with the line dance group in the St Patrick's Day parade within Venture Out -- I had missed participating in the annual Line Dance Fiesta while he was in the hospital, so he wanted me to be able to participate in this event. Unfortunately, the day was very warm (98F), so (fortunately) the decision had been made that we would only dance at two locations in the park. Carl and I drove over to the nearest corner to our house and I got to participate with the dancers...

Gathering up to dance -- the other dancers were part of the golf cart parade, so we waited for them to arrive. 

At the beginning of the dance -- if you'd like to see a video of a part of the dance, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/2ode4hvbCvg 

Unfortunately, we weren't as practiced as we have been in previous years... just lots of conflicts that prevented us (as a group) from spending much time preparing.

There were a lot of creatively decorated golf carts in the parade!

After Carl's momentous week, both he and Miss Kitty needed a nap! *Everyone* is glad that Carl is home!
