It's July 3 again
It's July 3, a big anniversary in my book, and not *just* because I started my LiveJournal 15 years ago today.
Seventy years ago today, this happened:
I think my parents looked nice on their wedding day, don't you?
Also, it makes two years today since I danced in the big Šokių Šventė in Baltimore. Here's a photo of our "seniors/veterans" group, taken the morning of the festival:
Right now a subset of my Malunas friends are in Lithuania for the Centenary Song Celebration (which also includes dancing and instrumental music and displays of tangible folk arts). I really wish I could be there, but I lack both money (duh!) and a steady male partner (I kept getting shifted around during rehearsals for the 2016 festival, and mostly I got put with a bowlegged guy who kept dropping hints that he'd like me to become his fourth wife). I hope I can get back into Lithuanian folk dancing in time for the 2020 Šokių Šventė in Philadelphia.
