Our Parish had a Dinner Dance last night.







Only the older six people in the family attended - and here are some pics before the event.

The dinner dance was fun!

Luke, Greg and Nick were here from Adelaide and they shared a table with Jonathon and some others from our parish Youth Group.

Gerry and I were at a table with some homeschooling couples.

I met these friends last year , when we moved to Sydney and through a local homeschooling group.

Our friends attend an evangelical AOG church and one friend said , while dancing last night ~ " Five years ago, I would never have imagined that we would go to a Catholic Dinner Dance - we just didn't know any Catholics. "

Another laughed and said she could have never imagined dancing with a priest - but she did and thought it was cool.

We all had a super time.

It is so excellent to have a time when friends can share their lives and faith and similarities and differences. While having a night of entertainment.

I had a few too many Bombay Gin and tonics.

And had a fantastic time dancing ( I love to "get my freak on", to quote Chalene Johnson. lol!).

You and yours would be fun to go dancing with!

I'm the only homeschooling Mama - aside from you now - that knows how to "get her freak on!" LOL...

Maybe there's some closet freakers out there!

Wish I lived closer! But maybe we'd have too much fun! LOL!

Thanks Faith - we certainly had fun - but Nick and Greg ( pics one and two) are not really into dancing. I made Greg dance with me. :-)

Cindy - I love the cat in the pic. Had to post that one!
