I truly admire them. Thanks so much for your comments, always. Happy Valentines to you and Roger!

In fact I am hoping we can go to our Stake Valentines dance tomorrow night. It may be wishful thinking. I loved the old dancing movies. I too love country music. I like most of the ones you do but my favorite is Faith Hill. She has such a beautiful range. She can do other kinds of music too. I feel sad she hasn't had anything new for a long time. Just know I loved your thoughts and you are so talented at writing. Sending love and hugs! Have a sweet Valentine celebration.

Oh, I did enjoy the beer vendor's dance! Spontanaiety is great! Made me smile! Thank you! xoxo<br /><br />Oh Monique, ((((hugs)))) you do make me smile. I can picture you now doing the Elaine dance. I don't think you are alone, but what does it matter! I say sing and dance like nobody is watching. Be happy and joyful. Who cares what the world thinks of our moves and our voice! YOU are beautiful no matter what! Oh, I am addicted to Nashville. Todd is not such a fan, so I watch it when he's not home. I am on the last series of Friday Night Lights. *sniff* *sniff* I love it and will hate to see it end. xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-75255561435851449532016-02-11T14:05:47.347+00:002016-02-11T14:05:47.347+00:00I am too shy to dance too..I loved ballet till we ...I am too shy to dance too..I loved ballet till we moved:(<br />And I danced at my daughters weddings..I am Elaine from Seinfeld.<br />I feel like Val.<br /><br />People shouldn't stomp on art..lol they didn't let me join choir..I get you have to probably know how to sing and carry a tune..but my desire was HUGE..nope.<br />I love the artists you love:) <br />Did I tell you about the show Nashville?<br />I think you could like it.<br /><br /><br />La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-60977198591017973722016-02-11T09:31:10.329+00:002016-02-11T09:31:10.329+00:00P.S.)

This kind of dancing--just the spontaneous fun of it--is pure joy to me: <a rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPYUMzjLbKw</a>. :) Every time we go to a ball game, I wait for one of the beer vendors to start dancing like this--last time, it was a young one who led the crowd during the "YMCA" song. It's just pure joy. God bless the people who can do it--and the guys, especially. They make me smile. :)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587080107116858971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-86197934444925690622016-02-11T09:21:33.296+00:002016-02-11T09:21:33.296+00:00I'm sure he thought he was being helpful.

There will likely be occasions again when I "have" to, so I should eventually take lessons and give it another go, though. :)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587080107116858971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-34878278794516088712016-02-11T09:17:37.451+00:002016-02-11T09:17:37.451+00:00What a wonderful experience for Pip and Beth Suzan...What a wonderful experience for Pip and Beth Suzan! They will remember for ever Suzan, I am sure! I am so gratful that I am a person who is able to take note of the small gifts each day brings, like butterflies, etc. Love you and hope you have a blessed remainder of the day! xoxo<br /><br />Oh Val, that must have really destroyed your confidence. What an awful thing for that groomsman to do. Some people have no charm at all. I say dance, if you think you can or not, and even if you are all alone when you do it. Feel the music and just dance. Life is too short not to dance. Love and hugs! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-12289236102575145932016-02-11T09:11:58.438+00:002016-02-11T09:11:58.438+00:00How great that you took ballroom dancing lessons! ...How great that you took ballroom dancing lessons! I have always been too shy to dance, except for a year of ballet in kindergarten, and the only time I remember "having to" was at my older brother's wedding since I was in the bridal party. The groomsman I was assigned to dance with told me I was dancing too fast and not in rhythm with the music, thinking he was just casually bringing my attention to it, but I was mortified and even more nervous and awkward after that. (I was 25 then, but the memory is still fresh enough 14 years later to make me feel a bit ill.) I truly hate it. One of the things I love, though, is watching people dance. And good dancers--ah! Bliss watching them. I've always loved that picture of Fred and Ginger too and used to have a figurine of her. It might still be packed away somewhere. :)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587080107116858971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-42045481334775248282016-02-11T08:25:35.089+00:002016-02-11T08:25:35.089+00:00Happy Thursday to you Marie,

A true dancer always makes sure every little thing is in perfect placement. I used to ice dance and roller dance before we had an ice rink. I loved to skate. I wanted to go back but my doctor said no because of the risk of bane breakage. So like you I watch many of those programs.<br /><br />Butterflies are such treasures and there are all too few. Mum was ranting at me the other day and I asked her to please be quiet and stop and watch a butterfly in our yard.<br /><br />Peanut butter is a staple too but I will only buy local peanuts in my peanut butter and carried home four jars from NZ last year. It is funny how certain foods have to be absolutely just so.<br />Beth and Pip went to Cats last night. Beth had bought tickets in the front row and made a dream come true for Pip. There was a spare seat next to Pip and many of the characters came and sat there between their moments. They were able to meet the leading lady afterwards and both came home high on the experience.<br /><br />God bless your day. Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.com
