It was recently my dad’s birthday so in honor of this milestone (70!!!), i decided to throw him a happy hour line dancing party. Way back when (early-mid 90’s) country line dancing became all the rage around these neck of the woods. My parents and I went to lessons usually once or twice a week. Fast forward a few years and my parents went to all kinds of dances including some ballroom dances. They also learned some “club” line dances such as the cupid shuffle and the wobble. So that became our happy hour line dancing party. The drink of the evening was black rum and coke and once we had a few of these we put on our dancing shoes and did the boot scoot boogie, cupid shuffle, the wobble, the watermelon crawl, trashy women, and the cha cha slide just to name a few. The menu included taco dip, pepperoni and crackers, buffalo chicken roll ups, cream cheese olive “penguins”, and fried ice cream. A great time was had by all- even the grandkids (my niece and nephew) didn’t think we were too weird. But most important of all my dad said he had a great time and we should do it again! I love you daddy!! happy birthday!
