Country Line Dancing is a terrific way to get a cardio workout while having fun and learning new dance moves! You don't need a pair of cowboy/cowgirl boots or hat to join in on the fun, but if you have them - wear them!

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." - Mother Teresa, Roman Catholic nun and missionary honored in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Today is the 110th anniversary of her birth.
Let us begin! Beauty is all around us, if we take a moment to pause and appreciate it. Colors are just starting to change, as Charlie Fineran noted in his photo above of wetlands in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and some leaves are beginning to fall. While we may "have only today", it doesn't hurt to plan ahead, so read on for some interesting happenings on tap for September!
Enjoy these last few days of August, and Happy Wanderings!
