"Mr. Ed" and I spent a large portion of our dating years
attending the local Teen Town. . .dancing.
But try as I may,
I can no longer get him to dance with me.
He does watch Dancing With The Stars each season.
Knowing he learns best by observation,
I am continually filled with hope with each episode.
"Mr. Ed" warms up for our Arthritis Tai Chi Session.
As part of our retirement quest to stay active and fit,
this past Autumn, "Mr. Ed" and I began attending
Beginning Arthritis Tai Chi at our local Senior Center.
Waving Hands In The Clouds. . .
This beginning class teaches twelve basic forms
and six advanced forms of Tai Chi.
Tying The Coat. . .
Sun Style Tai Chi , one of four widely recognized styles,
is especially suitable and effective for arthritis.
Tai Chi aligns posture, improves balance, increases flexibility,
heart and lung activity, and muscle strength
while integrating the mind and body.
Fair Lady At The Station. . .
Heel Toe Kick. . .
Stroking The Bird's Feathers. . .
"Mr. Ed" and I advanced to the Intermediate Arthritis Tai Chi
in January of this year. . .and we enjoy this class immensely.

hey Pat, that looks like fun. Buy a DVD of ball room dancing or line dancing, and practice in your front room together. We did that and it really helped getting us back on the dance floor.
Pat you aren't the only one that wishes her husband would dance with her! This looks promising! You are getting closer!
We don't dance any more, either. Used to do it a lot....guess it just comes with older age. :)
Good for you 2 for keeping fit! I hope I can get my MR to do something like that together someday when we retire!
Joe and I MET at a dance in college and now he will ONLY slow dance if I drag him out on the floor:):) We have a guy who lives here and is a DJ and he does music at alot of our socials. We women dance all night with the occasional guy mixing in!!!! Here's hoping Mr. Ed will come around and REALLY dance with you!!!!!
