Ken and I have enjoyed
the fine fall weather that
we have had.
Since mid September,
we attended eight polka
dances, (one was a polka
fest in Sioux Falls, SD)
along with five country
and one ballroom dance.
One of the country dances was a Halloween costume party.
Both Ken and I had
birthdays in October.
We went dancing to celebrate.
We also attended a few
polka dances in November and December.
God bless everyone.
Keep on dancing,
