Scottish Country Dancing

For the past few Monday nights, I've been attending Scottish country dancing
lessons at the Tigard Grange in Tigard. Tonight's activity was the first
real dance that I attended, and wow, was it fun! We sailed through several
dances that I've done in class, and I even got drafted for a few intermediate
dances, even though I've never actually attempted any of them. I struggled
with 'em for a bit, but eventually figured it out. Last August, the Fields
introduced me to this form of dance at an cream social that they hosted;
years ago,
when Brian's grandparents had moved to Oregon, they joined this group of dancers
and made a lot of friends. Most of them had been invited to this social.
I met one of the instructors, Don Gertz, and he invited me to the next round
of lessons, which started in mid-September.
