Linda's 8th Birthday

Hats & Taps' (Our) Linda 1 turned 80.  We all turned 8.

Mary & Linda 2 wait for the arrival of our big birthday honoree

Hard to believe this lovely lady is 80!

 Rhoda master minded this event and pulled off a wonderful surprise!

With many helpers and happy participants.

Games were played..... like musical chairs

 Liz was not happy losing a chair!

Rhoda demonstrates "Drop the Clothes Pin in the Bottle"

 which Lois perfected with her own spin on it.

Carolyn gets some hints from Rhoda with the Princess looking on.

Connie taught us all a ball tossing game that was a hoot! 

And said we were pretty quick in untangling ourselves in her hand holding game.

Carol turns L 2 to ready her for a clown version of pin the tail on the donkey, and yes we did close our eyes.

 A little extra entertainment to a Regge rendition of "Happy Birthday Linda" was choreographed by Carol and tapped by Mary and Marie then joined by the whole group.

 Gifts galore befitting an 8 ee year young princess!

Happy Birthday Linda!

We love to dance....So!

Always smiling thanks to Carol's tutorage. 

Little Liz has got quite a wing span!

Love those paparazzi husbands!

Razzle Dazzle!

Love seeing us together on..... Toe.....

 The soft shoe is fun to do!

Buffalos too.

Double the pleasure, double the fun, double the time steps...

We're on a run.....

Hats off every body! We're ready for Fall.

Mission Oaks Dress Rehearsal

 Hats & Taps showed up for rehearsal Friday night donning the cute new caps Mary found at the dollar store! We have Lois, Linda 1, Carolyn, Connie, Mary, Linda 2, and Marie with Liz and Carol squeezed out on the ends.

It's fun to watch the other groups perform since we don't get that chance during the show. Liz, Linda 2 and Mary looking good with good looking Linda 1 and Carolyn in back!

More glamorous gals, Connie, Lois and Carol waiting for our next ups.

Linda 1, Carolyn and Marie look on and hope that the show goes well on Sunday!

Celebrating

Hats & Taps has been busy with reprising dances and learning another new number ala Carol.  The group took time to celebrate birthdays, including Carol 2's. We were very pleased to see her and catch up a bit.  We miss you C2!

Carol 2, Marie, Lois and Linda 1. 

Thanks to Rhoda for organizing a new venue and managing all the arrangements!

Thank you, Mary, for taking the pictures!

Linda 1 had a special birthday this year.  Turning 80. 

No way does this seem possible!

Carol lights the special candle she always brings.

 We give it a good go but Carol 2 had to make it happen with an extra puff.

Hope all our wishes come true!
