Beautiful Thanksgiving Dance Party on Friday 15th at the Wahiawa Recreation Center. Lot of of nice people, very good music, delicious food and above all enjoyable dancing. I cannot take photos but I can pass my camera around. This time I got enough photos for four blogs, using only the best ones. So we are not professionals, we are learning. First Blog, on Monday was Social Dance Oahu. Second on Tuesday, was the Dance And Live, Wednesday, Oahu Dancers and the last today, Town Dancer. I deleted about 15 photos that were too blurry. But I want to thank all these good people willing to help spread the word by taking photos of their friends.
Got there too early but I will not complain, The Handi Van gets me there and gets me back home. The early birds were Carol Mendoza, Rod and Rosalie getting things ready for the dancers. Soon enough Leland and Maile got there with their equipment and it was starting to look good. In a few minutes, more members were arriving with the goodies of food to share with our fellow dancers.
The Music was set up and Leland sure knows what the people like in music. Getting a very good reputation for he knows classics from way back. They are acknowledged by all as something experienced dancers will love forever. Bachata seems to have been accepted very gracefully and the floor gets heavy with dancers very easily. The people are all friends and it shows. New people are always welcome, of course..

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them,
is the true measure of Thanksgiving."
Social Dancers can give thanks for each new morning with its light:
for rest and shelter of the night, for health and food, for music
and dance, for love and friends, and for everything
that goodness sends. Happy Thanksgiving!

The feed is simply the greatest because no one know the choices. I never know what Maile will put in my take home package. But it is always my best meal of the month. There is always plenty to eat and they make good use of the delicious leftovers. Completes the happy day for many. I got ready to leave before 9:30 and the Handi Van was only a few minutes late, fine by me. Got home a little after ten and had me a nice meal and I can thank all the nice people at this party.
"Gratitude may make sense of our past, may bring peace for today,
and just may create a vision for tomorrow."
