Scuffletown

I never thought, when I went country dancing at Scuffletown all through Furman, that I would be able to take my girls here someday! : ) I can't tell you what a joy it was to do this! Now, even though the place has changed, . . . in that the dance area is only the back part that was opened at the end of its heyday (and the front part is now an antique store and general store), the dancing is still the same. : ) They open it only once a month now for this special dance. Perhaps it will become a new monthly tradition, at least for Leia and I. We especially loved the big moose on the wall that you can see above the girls in the first picture. : ) Scuffletown was always famous for its antique and farm-related memorabilia hanging all over the dancing barn, . . . like a Cracker Barrel gone wild. Today's Scuffletown is no exception. : ) And as always, they had line dancing lessons at the beginning. THREE line dances! Leia Rose and Annie participated in the first two, and then Mamma and Daddy tried the third (harder) one. Then the music started and it was all the same with people two-stepping around the edge and folks running to the middle to start whatever line dance they wanted to. Leia and Annie were especially proud of their homemade cowboy hats that Mamma helped them with. And, yes, Annie brought her beloved "Peri," that she brings everywhere now. Peri is the white bunny (now gray) that Auntie April gave her this Christmas. AND by the end of the night, Leia Rose had met a real cowboy (who asked her to take a picture with him). Her comment? "Now HERE'S a boy I could fall in love with!" LOL.
