Dad and me in our living room before dance
On New Year's Eve 2009 , Dad and I went over to Dottie's home, a friend who is recovering from a fall. Coming up her drive way, Dad played "Should Old Acquaintances be forgotten", the "Tennessee Waltz", and some other favourites. Later, Joe and Margaret Mintern dropped by our home and we went with them to the dance at our clubhouse.
We were joined at our table by our cousin Patricia Black and her friend Beverly. Everyone seemed to enjoy the music, dance and a delicious buffet supper. I won a prize in the raffle. Dad enjoyed dancing and chatting with our friends and neighbors. Several of the women danced in a circle to the music of the 40's 50's and 60's. At Oakwood, the atmosphere is informal and relaxed and a place where both couples and singles can join in the fun! For many, this is an extended family.
We are grateful for God's many blessings in 2009 and pray that God's love may continue to embrace us in the New Year. We hold our family and friends in our hearts and prayerful thoughts.
