Trip to Goodwater

We had a great time visiting with our friends, the S. family in Goodwater, AL.

Here are the girls hanging around talking and visiting:

The guys spent a lot of time playing chess. Wesley M. was the chess master:
Some serious chess action going down here...

We also had a great time playing music. Here's Joey on the drums:

We also spent a lot of time practicing dancing for the ball...
More dancing:

Here is Angela doing the Cotton Eyed Joe:

Edgar also had the Cotton Eyed Joe down pat:

Cotton Eyed Joe

After watching all of the young folks doing the Cotton Eyed Joe over and over and over and over and over and over again, I was reminded of "the song that never ends...it just goes on and on my friends..." Anyhow, I decided that the Cotton Eyed Joe was just way too aerobic for me. I have therefore come up with a few verses to add to the song:

(verse 32 - after about the first 20 minutes of the song)
I’ve been dancin’ the Cotton Eyed Joe
started dancin’ a long time ago
why did we start this? I’ll never know
why did we start the Cotton Eyed Joe

If I keep dancin’ the Cotton Eyed Joe
I will soon be down on the flo’
my heartbeat racin’ oh don’t you know
I’m havin’ a heart attack Cotton Eyed Joe

I was dancin’ the Cotton Eyed Joe
my heart is pounding mo’ and mo’
not lookin’ to good here oh don’t you know
better call 9-1-1 Cotton Eyed Joe

I was dancin’ the Cotton Eyed Joe
now I find me down on the flo’
let those paramedics in through the do’
outta the way now Cotton Eyed Joe

I was dancin’ the Cotton Eyed Joe
now I am still down on the flo’
my heart now flat-line oh don’t you know
you better start CPR Cotton Eyed Joe

(verse 284,568 - five days later)
They’re still dancin’ the Cotton Eyed Joe
I was buried a long time ago
why did I do it? I’ll never know
met my maker doin’ Cotton Eyed Joe
