Music Monday: “Choosin’ Texas” – Ella Langley … and family

Brenda Food for the weekend cookout Drew Jumping in Pool

This past weekend, we enjoyed a long weekend with our family. KDAE met their friends at our house for some pool time and some summertime food before a trip to Kings Island (FIVE girls — all about the same age – yes, they had fun).

Pool time

Besides a good time with their friends, we had a nice time as a family too. We met Taylor and Megan on Sunday to belatedly celebrate Taylor’s birthday and hear about their trip to Alaska.

BUT … to keep this on the Music Monday theme, Katelyn mentioned a song she heard and learned to line dance to with friends; she thought I might like the song … so streamed it to our kitchen TV. It was timely in that I didn’t have a song ready for today and decided to include Ella Langley and “Choosin’ Texas.” The best part was that besides just listening to it, she also demonstrated the dance moves … which triggered us in remembering watching my mom and dad dancing with their square dancing club — serious moves. Then again, my parents both grew up at a time when “dancing” was the “in” thing for socializing with friends, especially in the 1950s. I know for a fact that my mom would have throughly enjoyed watching Katelyn dance. 😊
