Dancers from around the world

Thursday was the day that the Folkmoot dancers performed their first dances.  We drove to Maggie Valley where the Gala was held at the Stompin’ Ground.  On the way we stopped at the Maggie Valley Inn because one of the local musicians was releasing a new CD and was giving one away to each person in attendance.  He played for some of our ballroom dances alone but had his entire band with him then.  We enjoyed the Folkmoot Gala.  There are 9 countries represented at this year’s festival and were all very good.  After the performances at the Gala, there is a party at which we get to mingle with the dancers.  Some of them speak English but not all.  We talked with 2 girls from New Zealand most of the time.  We returned home in the rain.  We have had a great summer for moisture.  We pray for other parts of the country that are suffering major drought.  We will all suffer from the lack of farm products later in the winter.

I forgot to mention that I had my burn injury redressed  this morning.  They were all impressed with how well it was healing marvelously.  I thank God for moving me to apply the aloe juice immediately after the water/coal explosion.  I may be able to return to playing golf after visiting the urgent care again Saturday.
