June

Another Nursing Home Demo this time at Berry Bupa Nursing Home. We had a about 13 join us and for the first time Geoff & Kerry joined in with the demo, after the demo we went to Bomaderry Bowling club and enjoyed a nice hot chocolate with marshmallows, again thank you for giving up your time to help entertain the elderly.

There are no socials this month, so we can have a weekend or two to relax before we take a trip to sunny Mooloolaba in Queensland. We are soooo looking forward to having this holiday for 8 days in a high rise overlooking the beach, hope the weather is good.

We intend to do a couple of theme parks Movie World and The Outback and just relax for the other days. Looking forward to catching up with our friend Val who now lives in Maryborough. Can't wait not long now.

Grandchildren Down for Mother's Day

May we had our daughter Leanne and Grandchildren Maddy & Jessie down for 3 weeks all the way from Brisbane. They last visited us in February, this year has flown by so fast.

Maddy has a great personality, at 2years 4months she is very independant and knows what she wants and gets very upset when that doesn't happen. She eats & drinks everything I have, she even comes into the toilet, shower and helps to hang out the washing and helps bring it in.

I did apoligize to my classes as I haven't been able to learn any new dances this month, so I only taught older dances because I couldn't concentrate with Maddison around my legs.

Jessie is a beautiful boy 6 months old, lay him on the floor and he falls asleep no problems, hardly cries unless he his hungry and always has a smile for you, what a precious boy.

We had a lovely Mother's Day together with 4 generations having a day out, 90 year old Great Grandmother, myself, Leanne & Maddy. Very special day.

Unfortunately the family had to go back to Queensland at the end of May, Maddy was missing her dad by now and was very excited to see him at the airport.

May Madness

Dinner & Show at the St Georges Basin Country Club

Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock were on at the St Georges Basin Country Club on the 2nd May, what a brilliant show, they sound just like they did back when I was a teenager, Brian is now 73, Glenn is 71, about 16 of our group of dancers went along for a night out at the restaurant then the show, thanks for coming along to make a fun night everyone.

Kiama Walk

Jenny Landsberry, Geoff, Muriel, Judy and myself went for a walk along the shore line of South Kiama to Gerringong, this is a 6 kilometre walk, up and down large hills on grassy paddocks, we managed to do 3 kilometres then had to walk back, again perfect weather.

Geoff decided to walk all the way to Gerringong, when we all arrived there we decided to have lunch over looking the spectacular view of Werri Beach. A great day was had by all and another good soak in the bath tub to help those aching muscles.

Line Dancing Demo's

This year there has been lots of demo's for Nursing Homes and Adult Centres. We have had a number of dancers giving up their time to give a bit of pleasure to the elderly.

The East Nowra Adult Centre invited us to entertain, we had the elderly clapping and toe tapping the whole time, thanks to all the ladies that came along.

Coastal Waters Nursing Home is always asking us to entertain the elderly, this time we had a couple of beginners Geoff & Kathy Beesley joining our group, Geoff's mum Isabella is a resident at the nursing home and she was delighted to see him dancing and showcasing his new moves, well done Geoff & Kathy

Birthday Bash and Trip to Sydney

On the 26th April, we organised a Birthday Bash for Rob (husband) and Muriel with our good friends coming along to celebrate their special day. Rob certainly had a few unusual presents and Muriel had wine, chocolates and jewellery.

We had a huge cake decorated with chocolate & strawberry's (yumm yumm) which was so delicious,  and a great job done on the BBQ thanks Rob alway well cooked.

On the 29th April, Sonja, Muriel and myself took a trip to Sydney for a day shopping and walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge for the first time in my life.

The month before I enjoyed a lovely birthday present from Leanne & Mark & Rob to climb the bridge which was spectacular.

Sonja, Muriel & Me

We had the most perfect weather for our day trip, we must have scaled many steps around the rocks area and walked around the streets of Sydney until we found a few shops, but we did run out of time to see everything, so we will have to make another trip a bit later in the year. Sounds good to me.

We left home about 6 in the morning and arrived back home about 9.30pm, we were absolutely exhausted by the time we got back home, a good soak in the bath helped the aching muscles.

Can't wait to do it all again, I had a ball, thanks girls.

Great shot on the Pilon of Sydney Harbour Bridge looking over the Opera House

Bomaderry Social 12th April

What a great afternoon of dancing with everyone wearing Black & White with plenty of bling, lots of dances with a great mix of old & new, easy & hard. 
Bomaderry Community Hall would have to be one of the best dance floors in the Shoalhaven Area.
Thanks to everyone that attended the social from Sussex Inlet, Milton, Dapto & Sydney also a few from the Southern Highlands area.
