Hope we can manage all this!

Sunday will be the last chance to dance at our winter space in Clarks Summit. Monday the headaches begin. Because we moved in over a 3 week period, I didn't realize the accumulation of things that have to be hauled out. 13 tables, 30 chairs, tango pictures, the coat rack that Mike almost made level. Next there are the signs, the lights, the 8' ladder, vacuum, garbage can, storage containers and the still thriving poinsettia we feed every Sunday with 4 huge scoops of ice.
If all goes well, about 5 helpers and 2 trucks will drive in on Monday morning at 10:00- rain date Tuesday or Wednesday- and if anyone is reading this just stop by and help for an hour or two. The hard part is moving the 1000 pound dance deck and hardboard under it.
Today I called Celina Tent in Ohio and ordered a sister tent 15 X 15 for our "tango tent" at the airport. These things cost a fortune. Might as well do it now, I thought, as we may have to pack it up, head south and LIVE in it next year.

Solution to the Spongy Dance Deck Problema

Ripped it all up. Got 14 sheets of 1/8 " hardboard and put it down. Crawled around with a roll of duct tape to keep the hardboard from shifting.
Put it all back and, wow, it helped. Almost perfect- now we can dance. WE CAN DANCE.
Nothing like lifting 2000 pounds to keep us young?
True confessions. Had help from Dan Wilga who picked up the hardboard and helped us put it all back. Frank ran in to offer a little help, too. How I wish Cecilia and Gustavo were here to have the first dance. If I only could magically transport them out of the Carlos Copello school in BA.
