Those Dancing Muscles…..

Ouch - everything "hurts". I have a blister on one toe, my hips are sore, my calf muscles screaming and my thighs complaining. It's been a long time since we danced until midnight - and I'm discovering muscles that I forgot I had.

But what a fun reason for all this discomfort! Our nephew got married in Chicago on Saturday and it was such a lovely event. The venue at the Chicago Art Museum was beautiful, the ceremony was very personal, the bride and groom couldn't have been happier.

Then the reception! What food! What music - a great multi-piece dance band with terrific singers! The wine, the cake, the toasts. Every piece of what you'd hope to see as you plan a "perfect" wedding was in place…..even the rain held off until everyone was seated for the ceremony. When bolts of lightning sounded we took it as a good sign from "above".  :-)

But the day after I really "felt" it. Everything ached. Happily a couple of aspirin helped….and Dave and I vowed to not let that many years go by again before hitting a dance floor somewhere. It was fun! And we still clean up pretty good!
