Time for another posting

Hello again. As I start this, I have no idea what I am going to write about. I feel certain as I start typing, something will come to mind.
Today, the 9th day of February started out as quite a nasty day but now, at 9:30 in the morning it is turning out to be quite nice, although cold. It was 2 above the last time I looked, about an hour ago.

See, I told you I didn't have anything in mind when I started writing and I still don't. Maybe I've wasted enough of both yours and my time so will close this. Merle

Exciting new program

I decided not to wait a full week for my next posting as I just ran into an exciting new internet business. It is called: AutomaticBuilder. You get the amazing Sublingual B-12 which would normally cost you $12.95 plus $2.95 shipping, as well as the most effective Automated Business Building System ever created. You will also get free membership in Nutronix International which includes Free Customer website and Free Business website; a special bonus 'Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed', and personal coaching. What will all this cost you? For the first 30 days there is a one time cost of $2.95 for shipping and handling. Why not go to my website at: http://automaticbuilder.com/merleshelbourn and see what Sublingual B-12 will do for you and how you can make a very good income by joining our AutomaticBuilder business? This company offers many other nutritional supplements in addition to Sublingual B-12.

Another week has rolled by

When you reach my age, 77, the weeks began to seem like two days. My wife Annie and I have certin routines through each week. We do one of them and then, suddenly, it is time to do them again. It is a little frightening to have one's life go by so fast.

One of our weekly activities is, each Saturday night, we drive to Rapid City to the Canyon Lake Senior Citizen Center and attend their weekly dance. Last evening the band which was playing was Alan Sacks and his wife Coleen ( I may have mispelled her name). For a two piece band, my wife and I think they are wonderful. She has a voice very much like Patsy Kline, but in some ways hers is much better. She plays the guiter and sings many of Patsy Kline's songs but her voice is much purer and sweeter. Alan mostly plays the keyboard and sings. He has a very good voice and their arrangements of old time favorites and older country and western music is really great.

We usually sit with the same group of people around a fairly large, round table. Last evening there were five couples at our table. They, and the other three couples who usually sit with us, are the some of the best friends Annie and I have every had. Each week we look forward to seeing them again. When Annie and I are at these dances we dance the two step, the fox trot, jitterbug, walz and polkda. We also ocasionally do the one step. We danced the cha cha for years but have gotten out of the habit of dancing that type of step.

There are five bands who usually rotate from week to week but there is no particular pattern as to which band will be playing on a certain Saturday. Alan Sacks and his wife, and Easy Sounds with Tom and Diane Kennedy are favorites of many of our dancers and so they are booked more often than the others. Both play a very wide variety of dance music of the type most older dancers love to dance to. That does not mean all the dancers who come to these dances are senior citizens. There are quite a few younger couples, some in their early twenties who are regulars. They seem to enjoy the dances and the music as much as we older dancers.
