Family Contra

What a beautiful day it is here! Weather forecast had been for a messy storm, but it's definitely over now and the sky is blue, blue, blue with lots of sunshine! We're happy for the clearing travel conditions as Bryan and Erin are flying to Maine for what has evolved into a weekend of celebrating their engagement. We'll be having a party on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 for all of you readers who haven't received a formal invitation, please COME ON OVER. This is very last minute and I'll be honest, I've not had enough time to prepare properly so it's a totally thrown together affair :) Still, it should be a pile of fun, we'll have lots of great food and time for all of you to meet Erin and welcome her into the family! Jen, Toby and Avery will be here this weekend too, I know you've all heard me say it before, but I just LOVE having everyone come home and be together!
In other family news, we are welcoming a new little one... I heard from Kathie last night that Sam and Jes are proud parents of a healthy little boy named Weston, born yesterday late afternoon.
Families in our neighborhood of Wayne and surrounding areas are encouraged to get out this evening for a Community Dance at the Ladd Recreation Center for lots of fun dancing circles, longways sets and contras. Live music with the fiddlehedz, and Richard Green calling as well as refreshments and plenty of conversation with your friends and neighbors should be a fun way to spend an affordable Friday evening close to home.
Family Contra is one of the fun dances we may do tonight, it's been a favorite at many of the community dances at which we've participated, either as callers, musicians or sometimes just as dancers! Come on out and try it tonight if you can.
