Birthday Bash (s)

We're how old? 
Everyone in Hats & Taps handles birthdays differently. 
Carolyn, Liz, Linda 2, and Mary, who is closer to winter but still looks 
like a spring chicken, celebrate with cards, banter and laughter.
 We had a grand time and ate til we were tapped out. 
Seriously, we had to fight the leaden feet and nap time urges to get through practice but we did accomplish some cobweb cleaning and look forward to our cowboy numbers coming real soon.
 Plenty of hot air still left in these wind ...... pipes.
 We were happy to have Mary's visiting friend, Kris, join us.  
 Carolyn, Lois, Mary, Linda 2, Linda 1, Liz, Marie, Kris, Connie and Carol. Linda 1 made a fabulous carrot cake from scratch. Thanks to all for yet another wonderful birthday celebration!
And speaking of Birthdays,...Doug is also a spring!
Lois led the Ladies in song and recognition of appreciation to Doug
for sharing his house and putting up with all us tappers!
Thank you so much Doug, and Carol!
Have a Happy Birthday!

Happy Times Cafe

May 14th, at the Happy Times Cafe, Fremont Presbyterian Church, Hats & Taps was called back for an encore.  We fell in love with this group first time and hope we see them many more happy times.

Twisting the hips in the Charleston.

In sync sideways.
Happy hats.
Sharing some love and more happy times.
 Smiling and smoozing with the wonderful audience.

The show flew by but the happiness still remains.
Our fun finale,  to a Mexican Hat dance.
