Oh my gosh, u...that was SO COOL!! All those folks dancing together. It made me sad seeing the little girls in Afghanistan having fun and smiling, knowing that both those things were so not allowed, and will probably to back to the same thing.
You and Mrs U have a wonderful rest of the week. ((HUGS))
