Making Memories

34 Comments/ 4499/ 0

Last week I told you about the upcoming Malt Shop Memories Street Dance and live broadcast at KCMR coming up on Friday night and I know you are all waiting with baited breath to hear all about it.  In a word—-FABULOUS!

Jeni of Jeni Eats and Donna of DonnaHup.com stopped off to pick me up to go down to the studio to join in the fun.  We saw lots of familiar faces including Bill Schickel, general manager at KCMR and Cynthia Tompkins whose show I get to be a part of on Tuesday mornings.

Sara from All in an Iowa Mom’s Day and Travel with Sara showed up and Bill Schickel took a great picture of us as the festivities were getting underway.

The music was fun and lively and while the “dance floor” was not crowded all the time we were there there were certainly plenty of folks around enjoying the tunes.  We had a blast.  The music was the perfect street dance music—–easy to dance to for even those of us who are a little shy about our dancing abilities.

But my favorite picture of the night has to be the following one.  The expression on Bill’s face is pure joy!

My favorite shot of the night!!!  Look at how much fun Bill Schickel is having!

Aside from seeing my friends I also happened to run into one of my favorite NIVC employees—Aaron.  Love this guy and he even wanted to take a selfie with me so how could I turn that down?  How handsome is he?

I would venture to say there was a fun time had by all in attendance as these pictures will attest to.

Did I mention there were ice cream sundaes by Birdsall’s??  Yum! Hot fudge sundaes with pecans —so yummy but I forgot to take a picture as I was trying to juggle camera, phone, purse and ice cream without ending up wearing it.

Our radio show hosts for the Malt Shop Memories Bill Rappe and Kaye Steger made the evening a huge success!!! (Even if I did get a very good picture of them!)

P1030113What a fun night and what a great event for Mason City put on by KCMR.  Don’t forget–you can always listen online by going to their website here. 

There were even some vintage cars and this lovely motorcycle! kcmr7

Aaron told me his favorite song was Lollipop by The Chordettes and I saw him singing across the way when they played it right before I left for home.  I think he was in heaven when they played it.

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
