Nothing Better Than Square Dancing
I square danced for 20 years. Nothing better for exercise, enjoyment, friendships [It’s Hip To Be a Square, February 2025].

I plan to send It’s Hip To Be a Square to some folks who may be shy about trying square dancing or round dancing.

It brought back so many memories of when my hubby and I had a blast square dancing for so many years. It was very challenging, and the friendship was incredible.

“It’s mesmerizing, almost a spiritual thing,” Bartonville Mayor Jaclyn Carrington says of the centuries-old lighted pecan tree on Barbara Nunneley’s ranch.

I enjoyed Field of Beams [December 2024] so much that I had a tear in my eye when I finished.

Bears in Texas
Around age 10 my friend and I were walking on a trail that ended at a dirt road. We saw a large black bear less than a football field away [Our Nosy New Neighbors, January 2025]. We cried and ran.
Then, my friend stopped running and started laughing. I turned around and saw the bear running away from us.
There were many black bears in Minnesota. None of our bear meetings turned out bad for anyone other than our garbage cans. But I still don’t think people will like having that many bears in Texas.
