I volunteered at St. James place and I spoke with Ms. Dona Jacobs. We played dominoes with two other volunteers after I had already saw her for an hour earlier that same day. I asked Ms. Dona more questions and I learned more about her. She told me about how she first met her husband, her home town Montana, and she promised to teach me how to ballroom dance the next time I visit her.
Ms. Dona is from a small town in Montana. When she first met her husband it was a Saturday night and she was in a dance studio giving ballroom dance lessons. Her husband walked in looking like a bum asking for lessons! She said his pants were so dirty, and his shirt was a dirty yellow and she was shocked because he told her he was in the Air Force. But to her he did not look like it. After their first lesson together, she invited him out with her friends to a bar to watch the Shy Boys sing. The rest was history for them. I am going back to Ms. Dona tomorrow and St James has a lot of activities planed for them so Ms. Dona and I don’t have to keep playing dominoes. They are having a dance party, and Mardi Gras mask decoration so it will be a lot of fun. Ms. Dona and I are getting closer and bonding, she has plenty more stories to tell me so there will never be a dull moment.
