We're off.....

Tomorrow is...

 a very big day.

Darling daughter will audition

for a Big 10 University dance department.

Nervous? 

Yes, she is....

Dancing is what she loves...

the history...

the culture....

the blending of music and expression.

It is her hope...

to dance in college....

To study and learn.

So, if her nerves are on edge..

her toes will know what to do...

the music will set her

 in motion..

and she will do

 her best.

Yesterday and Today....

It seems like yesterday darling daughter announced
when she grew up she wanted to be....
an artist, a doctor, 
a waitress, a fairy...
.....and.....
a ballerina.
Today she auditioned for a college ballet program.
It seems like yesterday.....

Today darling daughter spent the day dancing...

something she loves to do.

Waltz of the Flowers

Today I saw a beautiful ballet.

The tiny performers dangled and swayed

on a soft, summer breeze.
