I did it! I purchased new Tango shoes! 4 inch stilletos from Comme il Faut... the premium Tango shoe maker in Buenos Aires... I danced in them last night at the Milonga and found them to be comfortable! Amazing... They are beautiful but did not make me a better dancer... that will only come with practice, practice, practice and the most difficult contra-body movement I doubt I will ever master!
A dozen red roses, a Japanese cookbook, and Michael Crighton's book, "Next" rounded out a fabulous Valentine Breakfast ... broccoli and cheese omelet, bacon, and chocolate covered strawberries.
We love North Carolina! This weekend was spectacular....sunny and warm in the low 70's.
Birds were singing and we even saw small buds on trees. To celebrate, we barbecued a Porterhouse steak, made Weight Watchers Broccoli and Salad, drank some red wine and enjoyed the sunshine. On Saturday, after our 90 minute workout at the gym, we headed to the State Park for a wonderful walk in the woods.
On Sunday, after another 90 minute workout and sweating at the gym, we took Oma and Opa out for a walk in Durham at the American Tobacco Campus, which was the Lucky Strike factory in the past.
All in all, time spent outdoors in early February was sublime.
Spring has arrived here, but we have a ski vacation in March in Utah approaching....
