She wrote a long book, a diary really, from which this is one passage:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Funny Bunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Union Firehouse had frequent dances, sponsored mostly by the Fire Chief, and they \u201cpassed the hat\u201d for contributions, to cover costs. The Chief brought good tapes to play, and that was our band. We had unforgettable <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id65186-grandfather-says-happiness-and-living-in-the-right-mold.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">good times<\/a> there and we remember those long-gone days very fondly.<\/p>\n<p>Things change, and dances aren\u2019t held there anymore. Now, Dad and I go to Elks Club dances every chance we get. The Elks facility burned down a couple years ago and we attended a dance with an excellent band called Paris, just one of many events to celebrate the grand opening of their brand new facility in March 2001 on the same site.<\/p>\n<p>Because of our good times at dances ever since we moved to West Virginia, I appreciate a new song, &#8220;I Hope You Dance,&#8221; which is played often on the radio. Lines I can recall:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you get the chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPromise me you\u2019ll give faith a fighting chance, and dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kitty B\u2019s Luncheon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kitty was already showing symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s, and I planned a luncheon at my house for her and all the funny bunch girls. We had a good old time, although bittersweet, when Kitty expressed her dread of what was happening to her. I\u2019ve kept the beautiful note Kitty wrote me later, referring to \u201cthe very best birthday I\u2019ve ever had.\u201d We enjoyed special foods and white wine that day, and we joked about the \u201ctipsy lunch ladies\u201d for a long time afterward. Before she died, Kitty had to spend a number of weeks at a nursing home in Greenbrier County.<\/p>\n<p>Our group met most Saturday nights at someone\u2019s house. We brought our own steaks or hamburgers and a covered dish, and the host broiled the meat.<\/p>\n<p>We treasured great times for several years before we began to lose them: I played for four of their funerals and Charlie and Madeline moved to Florida. But the group was all wonderful while we had it. It was the closest, most fun group we ever were part of, and I never expected that we, who moved here from Virginia, would become part a \u201ctight\u201d Union group.<\/p>\n<p>One night at our house, one of the guys passed his empty plate down the table for someone to put some salad on it. Whoever helped him, put one cherry tomato exactly in the center of the plate and passed it back, without a word. The guy looked at it a minute without reacting and then said, deadpan: \u201cMay I have the House dressing, please?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everything was fun in those Funny Bunch days.<\/p>\n<p><em>To be continued&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Author: RD Blakeslee is a nonagenarian in West Virginia who built his net worth by only investing in that which can be enjoyed during acquisition and throughout life, as opposed to papers in a drawer, like stocks and bonds.
