Grandma Scott's Birthday Card

My mom sends fun birthday cards and this one is really fun, it's the Chicken Dance! Twenty One years ago I was in Czechoslovakia for the first time. Actually, first time out of the country. Our tour group went to a pub out in the countryside where we were served a very potent drink made from the sap of pine trees with our dinner. After dinner the music and dancing started and lo and behold everyone was getting up and doing the Chicken Dance. I'm from a small midwest town and I sure don't remember the Chicken Dance but here all these people from Czechoslovakia and the States were up and doing the dance and having the time of their life. Did I tell you about that little potent drink they served with the dinner? One of those and you lost all abandon. Two and you were laying on the floor sleeping somewhere. Three and you had no idea what hit you and your friends carried you home and it took days to recover. Ask my cousin what not even one drink will do to you! :-)

We were on our way to Tiffany's because we thought her house was going to flood. We were on E. Panther Creek when we stopped to video tape the canal to Lake Woodlands.

Our good friends, the Griffiths, used to live here. Now our good friends, the Stanley's, live here. Large trees fell on the house and garage, put a hole in the roof so water was raining in their living room 2 floors below.
