Bikers and Western Dancing


It has been unseasonably warm around here. It is kind of weird. It makes me forget that it is Christmas season. On Sunday morning, on my way to a cooking demonstration at the William-Sonoma store in Cherry Creek, I came upon a convoy of bikers on their way to the Toys for Tots run. The lead guy, big, burly and leather clad, had a giant Rudolph strapped to the front of his bike, leading the way. Behind him were a band of noisy, jovial, gift totting buddies. One bike carried a man, a wife and a GIANT bag of toys. Others strapped on teddy bears like toddlers onto their seats. One man, a very large fellow, carried a group of dolls whose permanently cheerful hair waved in the wind. It was a wonderful way to start the day and remind me that the season is here.

That evening Ellie and Christy went to cotillion for a Western "Sock Hop" with their extra socks that will be gifted to people at the Interfaith Rescue Mission. We were able to provide a nice number of band new socks of many kinds. The girls had a fun time learning some line dances and have a more informal time at cotillion than usual. The sixth grade class joined their 7th/8th grade class.
