Suggested music is The Sprig of Ivy from Celebrate 50 Years with the Boston Branch.

I wrote this dance as I was thinking about how Katherine Andrefsky and Gordon Anderson (who were here much too short a time) move every few years and have to deal with packing and moving and all. It may help to understand this dance to realize that the first 24 bars are 6 bar phrasing: set, cross, cast – turn LH, balance, turn corners in – turn LH, balance, turn corners in – turn LH, balance, turn corners in.
