Cheese Ball Walk

As I sometimes do, I visited the Marshall Depot last Friday evening for a dose of old fashioned good clean fun. As usual, they did several cake walks. I participated but did not win. Then someone announced they were going to do a "cheese ball walk," and a lady proceeded to march to the front with the biggest cannister of cheese balls I have ever seen or imagined. SM reeeeeeaaalllly wanted to win the cheeseballs. She wanted them so bad she forgot to pay her dollar for the walk. Well, she didn't win, but she won the next cake walk (which she did remember to pay for). She marched right over to the man who had won the cheese balls and struck a deal- her coconut cake for his cheese balls. She strutted back to our back corner and proudly hugged her cannister of cheese balls for the rest of the evening. It was a beautiful sight- so cozy with the music (Don't Go Ridin on that Long Black Train, Rocky Top and such) and the steady flow of elderly people back and forth to the dance floor to clog or 2 step to the secular numbers...
