End of Summer Ball - Dancing Videos II

Well, thanks to Rachelle Howard, I have a few more dancing videos I can post from the End of Summer Ball last month.  I'd made a previous post with a few videos, but now I've also uploaded the Duke of Kent's Waltz, Trip to Town O (though we really didn't go anywhere), Auretti's Dutch Skipper, The Ragg, Yellow Stockings, and the Virginia Reel.
I'll also be posting "Lovely Nancy" and...drumroll...video of the "Sparrow Waltz" or "Pirates Waltz" or "Capt Jack's Waltz" or whatever it's called!

Oh, great.  Guess what's in my head now...

But, I'll be true...

 The Ragg

 

...to the song I sing...

Yellow Stockings


   

...and live and die...

...a pirate king!

For he is a pirate king

Hurrah for our pirate king!

And it is, it is a glorious thing

To be a pirate king!

Disclaimer: I no way endorse or condone the highly illegal endeavors of unscrupulous maritime captains who "sink a few more ships that a well bred monarch ought to do."  

However, when you've once heard Gilbert and Sullivan it's hard to clean your mind of it.

Red Belts!

Benjamin and I received our red belts from Whole Armour Martial Arts a couple of weeks ago.  So, our next test will be for our black belts.  The black belt test will be demanding and intense and will require us to spar against our teachers and other black belts.
As we’ve progressed, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to being more involved in teaching the younger students and the lower ranks.

Blue Skies Smiling at Me!

July 29, 2015 - I was driving home and noticed that the blue skies were particularly beautiful:

So, I headed to an old fire lookout tower that overlooks our valley.

I hadn't been in this thing in probably 9 years - and I remember it was in rough shape back then!

Definitely not recommended if you're afraid of heights!

Yes...very little in the way of safety precautions :D

Are you afraid of heights?  Would you still try to climb the tower?
