After them were Lolit, Mary Jane, Merely and Roland.

 

 


  BALLROOM DANCING was in abundance.  In the photo above, Isabel and Roland were dancing with everyone to the Jive Bunny Medley ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iDwk4n39R0 ).

 

 


  THE BIRTHDAY CAKE.  Veronica (Myra) baked another delicious chocolate layer cake, and decorated it with strawberries and blueberries to resemble the Stars & Stripes.

 

 


  BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION for people with birthdays in July was about 9pm.  There were 3 people with July birthdays, Ditas, Lydia, and first-timer Alexa.

 

 


 DANCING THE SWING to "Why" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rRgdsKuhrg ), I was enjoying dancing with Eva.
