our friend chrissy is turning 50. she and her husband throw GREAT parties. they're the guys that have TURNS. turns are fun to watch, but even more fun to DO.here's our first one (at tara's house-warming way back in two thousand and i don't remember).
then came ABBA's 'waterloo'. 2 minutes and 17 seconds of pure unadulterated joy
it was sara's first time (that's her in blue)
she was a little nervous (read, a lot!)
it was all over very quickly, and she was very happy for having done it.then in 1984 it was our 20th wedding anniversary
all turns had to be 80s music, so we went with toni basil's 'mickey'. those pom poms actually belong to a for real cheerleading troupe and they weighed 1 1/2 pounds EACH!!! shakin' those babies around for 4 minutes and 2 seconds was a REAL workout!
like i said, that was 2004 so it's been a long time 'between drinks' as they say. tara and i will be putting on our dancing shoes and doing a turn to a 50s song next weekend. song unknown. dance moves not yet decided, but it will happen and it will be fun.and yes - i will be posting pics!!!

That's hilarious. It looks as though the choreography and outfits get better and better each time.
I've got a bit of time on my hands and am enjoying reading your blog.
Oh Sue I want much more than pictures- I want to see a video of this.
Looks like a blast- have a great time!
hmmm, video. i THINK i have some of waterloo, but wouldn't know how to extract it! i PROMISE to have next week's recorded on my new compact camera which will be very easy to download.
That looks like so much fun. Explain to me exactly what is a turn?
basically it's dance moves to a song. a little choreography and a whole lotta fun!
AWESOME pics!!! Fun, fun, fun!
