Delayed

We rang in the New Year listening to the party on my radio station from Ottawa on the computer.  Then when it came to the countdown, Laura set up her phone on her bluetooth speaker.  We were all in the kitchen counting down the seconds and I noticed that Laura's phone was about 30 second later than the computer.  So we sort of missed the turning into the New Year but we celebrated anyway.

DJ Scooter

We went to see DJ Scooter at the Village Square on New Year's Eve.  DJ Scooter leads everyone in strange and funny aerobic dances.  He dances for the whole 4 hours and doesn't take a break.  It is funny because he doesn't look like he is in great shape.  It was really crowded because he is so popular.  We all danced and it was hot. So we really worked up a sweat.  As Sarah says The Villages has the best parties because they all end at 9 o'clock.

Old Guy

Laura came to watch my softball practice and she was sitting in the stands beside the diamond while we were taking batting practice.  One of the old guys went over to talk to her through the fence.  Later I asked her what he said to her.  Laura said he said that Laura must really not have anything to do to come out and watch a bunch of old men hit slowpitch softballs.

Julia in the Front Seat

Barb and I were upset that we couldn't turn off the car stereo.  If we didn't want music playing, we could only turn down the sound to zero.  Barb thought that Julia should sit up in the front seat with her when we drove around so that she could see all the sites.  The first thing Julia did when she got in the car was hit the button to turn off the radio.  Barb and I freaked out we were so happy that we now knew how to turn off the radio.

Pool

We went to the pool together one evening and Barb led us in her water aerobics.  It was a good workout and I could only do some of it.  The girls were able to do it along with Barb.

Laura's Friend

One of Laura's friends messaged her and asked if she would like to be picked up at the Seattle Airport.  Laura thought that was great and would mean she wouldn't have to take trains and buses back to Vancouver.  So she was excitedly making arrangement to have a fun day with her friend in Seattle when she was getting picked up.  Then she realized that she had her dates wrong and was not arriving on the day that her friend could pick her up but the next day instead and he wasn't available that day.  We have so much trouble figuring out Laura's travel itinerary.

Bocce Ball

We played a few games of Bocce Ball and it was Barb and Julia against me and Laura.  We were not very good and didn't really know the rules.  But we played it sort of like curling and Laura and I finally beat Barb at something. We won a close game 13-11.
