The Dynamic Duo

   Well, I really feel like I’m in my second (or maybe still first) childhood. My sweet sister came out from Emmett (near Boise) and spent the day with me, went to my dance recital with me and videotaped the whole thing. I watched it over and over again on her video camera until I used up all of her battery! She very supportively told me that I was “the best one out there!” I said “Thanks, Mom.”
Anyway, it all went really well, and UM only made a few minor flubs which she then quickly corrected. You would all have been very proud of me. It was very humbling the day that I realized that I was the oldest one out there. In fact, all of the others have young children (except the ones too young for even that), and many had daughters who also danced in the recital. I was relating this to my friend who cuts my hair. She said “Oh, but I bet you dance circles around all those other ladies.” I ruefully replied, “Well, yes I do. But I’m not supposed to.” And we both had a jolly laugh.
Anyway, UltraSister was so terrific and so supportive. I never did anything like this when I was younger, and probably I’ll just keep getting older from now on, so I guess now is the time to try it, if ever.

Kind of a “funny” incident tonight. UltraDad was feeling kind of playful, i guess and he picked up Toby, the kind of unpredicable cat who only posseses three legs out of the normal four. He said “Time for your exercise, Toby” and he put him on my big purple exercise ball (which I dearly love!) Well, I turned around to get something, and I heard both Husband and Sister say something like “uh oh”. When I turned back around, my ball was slowly deflating! Yes, Toby had punctured my beloved ball. I told the UltraDad that I would make him buy me a new one, except that would be the same thing as buying myself a new one, but he thinks that maybe we can patch it. For his sake, I hope so! I was so upset that I ate three cookies, so it’ll also be his fault if I get fat!
Gotta get to bed,
but first I need an opinion. Johnny is graduating from college this year. I’m not sure on the protocol for sending a bunch of announcements to friends. We did that with the kids’ high school graduations, but do you do the same for college, or does that just look like moneygrubbing? Of course it IS moneygrubbing and all the relatives are getting them for sure.
