It was a magical night…..
perfect weather, perfect spring night
and just the right amount of banjo music
and pulled pork BBQ!
There are so many things to love about a square dance
but one of the most appealing is that it’s just a big bundle of fun for the whole family,
regardless of age or ability.
And all the girls in boots and sundresses just makes me smile.
I do think it’s the one activity in which
almost noone was texting and checking their phone.
Just good clean knee-slapping, sweat pouring fun.
You cannot do this activity without laughing. A lot!
Score!
These kids and their friends and cousins had such a fun night together.
Andrew looks like a pro and NOONE outdanced my little Elea.
She was bringin’ it baby!
Doug and Cindy (Andrew and Morgan’s parents–and my good friends) seem to know a thing or two
about southern shindigs!
My brother in law, Mark, is one of those half empty kinda people.
He’s very high on my list of people I love and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him.
But I’ve heard him say—-and I quote
“So why are we having ANOTHER square dance?”
My photographic evidence would show that he was having more fun
than ANYbody else. He was fun to watch!
And this party simply would not have happened without my wonderful sister.
She made the pork (recipe later), brought nearly all the
heavy equipment, decorated, undecorated, told me to breathe,
danced all night long and then sat with me at midnight and
ate cake while we talked about the night’s happenings.
I’m so thankful!
And that’s their son and my handsome nephew Corey,
being such a good sport and dancing with
his cousins and sisters! He’s so darn cute.
Think ‘Jacob’ from Twilight.
And this little square (full of cousins and siblings) kept getting all twisted up.
Everytime I turned around they were in a big tangle, laughing and
yelling at each other. I don’t think they ever got through the last
dance without being in a 8 people pile up.
They were Hi-Larry-Us and provided much needed comic relief.
Mike Hoose, our awesome square dance caller, finally gave up on them too.
Marcus and Katilin got the hang of it pretty quick. I was
so proud of Marcus, who was clearly out of his element.
He’s such a good sport and in general such a joy to be around!
Taylor is my first-born, compliant good-natured boy.
He’s almost always smiling and is THE most helpful person ever.
Always with the pleasant attitude to go along with it.
He did so much work for me that day. Lifting, hanging, hauling, moving, driving!
I don’t know how I manage without him now that he’s away at college.
I miss him so much when he’s gone.
See, they’re tangled up again.
I’m not sure who’s to blame (could be Taylor and Corey?!) but at least they’re still smiling.
Doesn’t it look like the most fun ever? Well it was and I’ll be back soon with more.
Most importantly, Caiti was so happy
and said it was her favorite party of all time!
Enjoy this little video and pay close attention to the cutie in the red hat!
What fun! Looks like such a great time, bet there were lots of sore stomach muscles from all the laughter.
Good GOLLY, that looks like so much FUN! It’s been years since I square-danced, but you got me thinkin’ this would be one great hoot-hollerin’ party to host. And that last picture of Caiti is exceptionally beautiful. It captures how she clearly felt about the day. Good job, Mama!
There’s absolutely nothing like a good old fashioned square dance. Looks like you pulled off (along with your sister) a great time for everyone. Love those twinkling lights and paper lanterns.
And that little gal in the red hat? She knows what she’s doing!
SO FUN! Let me confess something… I love this idea so much and have decided to throw myself a SQUARE DANCE PARTY for my 30th birthday celebration 🙂 I don’t care so much about my age, but I want to celebrate my life… I finally feel like I’ve ARRIVED. 2 beautiful baby girls achieved that for me. LOOK OUT September! In the meantime, I’ll be searching for cowboy boots 🙂
I love your spirit, Julie! You go girl.
So MUCH FUN!! My husbands family has a square dance once a year at the family reunion. We laugh and dance and laugh for hours. It’s just wonderful!!
such fun memories…i love a good hoe down and it looks like y’all do too!
How fun! Glad everyone had a great time! I loved the video … thanks for sharing it! I’ve never been to a square dance :/ That needs to change 🙂
Fun fun fun! Can’t wait to see more!
Oh, everything looks so fun! And I love the picture of the girls’ cowboy boots… That one might be frame-worthy! 🙂
It looks like so much fun. There aren’t many chances for square dancing here in the north. I love all the girls in their sundresses and boots. So cute. Your daughter looks so beautiful and happy in the last picture. Now Miss Edie, we need to see you and your partner square dancing. Will that be the next video? LOL
Hugs,
Ruth
Oh wow, I totally want to have a throw down myself now. Looks like such fun. I also want all those pretty cowboy boots:)
Wow, this really looks like fun!
Wowie Edie, how fun! And to think I’ve never square danced!!!
I’ll be anxiously awaiting that recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing this special time with us! It looks like sooooo much fun! Congratulations Caiti!
Ain’t nothing better than the post-party debrief over cake!
Big fun here, Edie.
So so so fun !!
We don’t square-dance in Scotland, but we do CEILIDH !!! I am currently teaching my class of 7 yr olds the Orcadian Strip the Willow dance and they are LOVIN’ it. You have your (v cute) cowboy boots – we have men in swingin’ kilts…… Yee HAW !!!!
Wow, what a great celebration! What a great mom you are to give such a special memory to your daughter. This almost makes me wish I had a little “country” in me. Almost.:)
Thanks Edie! You are a woman of your word! ;-0 Those pictures were fantastic!!!
What a fun idea! Looks like everyone had a blast!
are you kidding me???? THAT LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I am laughing and smiling right along with you. Caiti, I am SO glad your day was wonderful and filled with joy and LAUGHTER {the best!}. Great pics, edie.

The last time I square danced was in seventh grade gym class. Many, many moons ago. That looks like so much fun! I wish we had a “caller” in this neck of the woods. I think everyone would enjoy it! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
love this post….I’ve enjoyed going back and reading all that I’ve missed while I was in GA with my family….my favorite picture is the one with the boots! So glad you had so much fun!!! The only thing missing is a picture of YOU!
Edie that looked like so much fun! And you do have a wonderful sister. She amazes me with her energy, productivity, and overall ability to have fun ALL the time. And I can just hear Mark asking about ANOTHER square dance. So glad your beautiful Caiti had a good time.
Oh Edie – that will be a memory that will talked about for generations…..(that AND the boots picture…that was the BOMB!!)

Love your photo and video journal! I feel like I was there. The shot of the boots are killer. Love it. Isn’t there something that just feels powerful or liberating about wearing western boots. Fun stuff.
hey lovey!
I haven’t ordered much else yet—kids home all weekend so it’s just a merry go round of cooking and cleaning and laundry. and fun! i forgot that.
I just posted about the design and I would love if when you post about it, you’d do your design magic and kind of ‘explain’ it, if you know what I mean?
I wanted to try to do that but you’re so much better at it.
I LOVED your ditto post today, btw.
okay , off to make more food and do more laundry before we head out to the lake.
love to you and hope your day is wonderful with your boys!

Hey Edie…wow, I have soooooooo enjoyed this cool post! Love the pictures, the boots, the red hat and dances…AWESOME FUN! Well done to your sister for giving ya’ll a good time with laughter…soul medicine! Lot’s of love! xxx
Edie, I think the world of you but when you need to know that it’s spelled no one, not noone. I’m sorry to be so nit picky.
Wow! I think I just fell in love! With this idea that is. I grew up in Texas and you just reminded me that we always had to learn square dancing, it was a session during PE in elementary school. I have never heard of having a square dance party! What a fun idea!!!! I want to know more details. Now I just gotta figure out how to have one. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!
i’m working on my part 2 post so hopefully that will help! it’s narrowing down the pictures that’s hard 🙂
you should totally do it though—big fun!

Acting professional and singer Patrick Bruel was one among France’s

new millennium. Bruel was given birth Patrick Benguigui in Tlemcen, Algeria,
on May 14, 1959. The father abandoned the family unit when Patrick was a year old, in addition to 1962, after Algeria
gained its independence, his mom moved to France, residing in the Paris suburb
connected with Argenteuil. A great soccer player within the youth, Patrick first decided upon the
idea of becoming a singer after seeing Michel Sardou
perform in 1975.
As fortune can have it, acting would provide
him his first achievements; first-time director Alexandre Arcady ran an advertising seeking a man along
with a French-Algerian (or “pied-noir” in German slang) accent for his movie Le Coup hun Sirocco.
Benguigui (as he was still called) responded and gained
the business. The year, he spent a in Ny city, where he fulfilled Gérard
Presgurvic, later being his primary songwriter.
