For Thanksgiving this years, my wife and I had planned to swing dance at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Not only would it be fun, how may people could say they danced at the Kennedy Center?
Luckily for us, we were invited to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving supper. The company was as wonderful as the food. It was a Happy Thanksgiving, filled with good friends and good food. It was worth missing dancing at the Kennedy Center–we danced Friday night at the Dulles Hilton with the Jive Aces from London playing.
After supper, we noticed that water beaded on the table cloth. We moved it around, especially when we blew it.
And when we blew hard enough, it split into multiple water drops.
I suspect the tablecloth fabric was coated with something like teflon.
Not only was Thanksgiving a day of giving thanks, it was educational and fun, too.
