My uncle played the accordion for wedding dances, dances and house parties. And, he played polkas, and he was Norwegian American. Other staples at dances were waltzes, shotishs, butterfly or flying yank. These dances still appear at wedding dances.
In my itunes library, there is rock, country, classical and two waltzs, “Blue Skirt Waltz” and “In the Finnish Woods.”
I am an advisor for a sorority, and as a service project, they attend dances at an assisted living facility. The girls enjoy learning to waltz, polka and do the shotish, and they like how courteous their partners are.

Words fail to fully describe your furbabies, but adorable and precious are the first words that come to mind. I love their cute pink pawpads. Thank you for helping them--you rock!!

Sending prayers for Ava's improvement. I am a dog lover, who grew up with herding dogs.

I love this funny thread. Eight years ago, I had a boss whose nipples always showed. Everyone at our place of employment talked about her and "them." Shortly, after starting to work with her, I bought myself thicker bras--I didn't want our department to be known for this feature. Now, five years after that boss left, a co-worker occasionally has that problem, and she jokes that she has "Lulu's problem."

Did you visit Balboa Park? It is one of my favorite places when I vacation there. There is always something new to discover. Like you I love LaJolla and Corando.

My grandfather was an animal lover, and he used to say "Cats and dogs make great friends, but their lives are much too short."
My condolences to the families of Lexie and Titan and to mariemily.

It was the worst pain I have ever been in. A friend, who has had kidney stones and given birth, told me that kidney stones hurt worse.

Yes, I was looking to see if the other North Dakotan had already answered. Stores close at midnight on Saturday and don't open until noon on Sunday. Alcohol is sold in a separate liquor store. When this oil boom started (I saw another oil boom in the late '70s and early '80s), it was funny to watch the out-of-state guys searching for beer in the grocery store.

The cat is safe and well fed and taken care of in your home. The cat and you have adopted each other--he know he is "home" with you.

I don't like either color, but I started buying Fiestaware during the Scarlet, Evergreen and Heather period. I stopped buying when they came out with Chocolate.

While I think they are very pretty, I don't think I'll be buying them. Over the past month I have finally updated my Fiesta from the pastel pieces we got when we married 16.5 years ago to a bright rainbow I am envious. I would love to have some of the pastels--I love pastel yellow and rose.

When Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks (separately) were just starting out, I saw them perform at the North Dakota State Fair. Both were great. Garth was also gracious with friends who "spotted him" at the bowling valley. Garth and his band were bored in their hotel, so they walked down to the bowling alley to bowl.
