It has been a very early start to a hot summer . Let ’ s hope we get some much-needed rain soon , and a cool down .
The ballrooms have opened up and we can get out and do one of our favorite pastimes , which to many of us is going to an old-time dance .
We all would be just a bit happier if it wasn ’ t so hot and sticky . Let ’ s just be glad that we can go to dances now and enjoy them .
