Dinner Flop

Had Todd and Shannon over for dinner the other night but......... I had bought a new crock pot and cooked up , White Beans and Ham Soup, well even soaking the beans overnight and cooking on high in the pot for four hours the beans were HARD. So everyone dined on salad and cornbread. Needless to say the crock pot was returned to the store the next day.
Last night was wild, we've heard the last two winters about an event that happens every Sunday night down at Siesta Key so decided to go down. Drummers get together and play for hours. These are drummers of all ages and every type of drum, they stand or sit in a group and just beat on their drums. People come from all around and you can either sit and watch or get up and join in. Children were given hula hoops to play with, a very small woman dressed as a belly dancer gave out flowers and then she danced, a gentleman was there dressed all in black with a white hat on who gave blessings with bird feathers as he danced around. As I said it was a wild night but very interesting. After the sun went down and the parents took their children home it got even wilder, young people moving their bodies as if they were in a jungle dancing around a wildfire or maybe placing a curse on someone. Later I'll post some pictures that Doug took after he gets them loaded on the computer.
