Benjamin’s 17th Birthday

  So, of course on Benjamin’s birthday we had to do something that involved guns! 

We went to the shooting range with a few of the Suermann brothers after lunch:

Jonathan

 

Andrew

Lisa

Jesse shooting and Andrew spotting

We moved up to the trap field to shoot clay pigeons with our shotguns:

L:R Noah, Joel, a stranger, the stranger’s dad, Jesse and Jonathan

L:R Andrew, Benjamin, Jonathan

We had some family over in the evening and had Benjamin’s favorite meal, Chicken Pot Pie, and Kate’s first try at Chocolate Cake with Ganache (stay tuned for future cakes).

Questionnaire Results-Video

  This video I created shares some of the statistics from the Dance Questionnaire we posted a week ago.  The questionnaire will remain online, so encourage your friends to take it!

  This video is also the official “release” of a new organization, “Stately Steps.”  Stately Steps will now be the official website for future dancing videos and will also be the headquarters for a new dance instruction DVD series. We need help from people like you, so please go to the website and sign up for the newsletter: www.StatelySteps.com

Self Defense–Video

  This is a slightly re-edited (closing sequence) version of the video we made with Stephen Littman Jr.  last fall.

Your Help Is Needed!

   We are asking for the input of our friends and readers by taking this quick survey about English Country Dancing.  I’ve edited close to 90 dances from events and lessons, but I’d like to create more instructional and professional videos in the future. If you’ve enjoyed some of these dancing videos then please participate in this survey and share it with your friends – or even post in on your blog! (see below)

  The survey is only 10–30 questions and only takes 5 minutes to complete:
