Hello Life

Life just keeps traveling along and most of the time at least in my life in tiny little circles.

The circle of dance came together last week as I stayed backstage with Vanessa at her dance recital. Thirty years ago I was also back stage with Jennifer at her first recital. Jennifer was so excited to be dancing with a little white umbrella. And Nessa also was dancing with a little white umbrella. . Oh what a fuss had I forgotten either umbrella but both umbrellas’s made it successfully onto the stage and both girls did a wonderful job of dancing.

Hey I have not written here for awhile


Spring has finally arrived and I am warm...
This has been a very busy spring as we are getting ready for a huge Garage Sale. We are trying to sell the house and want to thin out as much as we can before we have to move.
Just have to remember we will need some stuff in the new house wherever that might be.
I have done the clean up work in the garden now just need to put in some pretty flowers to make it look like a place someone would want to live... My daffodils were so pretty this Spring I hate to leave them, and all my other perennials are coming along so well , I did thin out some lily plants and gave some to Jennifer so I can get starts from those later.
Hopefully I will leave the rabbits that nibble in my garden.

Otila has been very busy making little girl dresses she is going to have a booth at the Farmers Market in Plainfield at Chateau Thomas Winery ever Thursday evening for the 26 weeks of summer. That is if she stops making cute dresses that she just can’t give up and keeps for Nessa. She has a whole wardrobe full of dresses and skirts. But then I guess the Spokes model for Otila Rae Originals has to have a complete summer line of samples.

I am no longer working for the inventory people they kept cutting my hours until I had none. Guess they did not want me after all. Oh well maybe they will get a new supervisor and call me back.

Have really enjoyed taking Vanessa to the zoo seeing it through her eyes is fun. She sees things I haven’t seen for years and never seems to look at the things I show her. There was one exhibit that had peafowl and otters. I was trying to get her to look at the pretty birds in the tress and she says Nina that little otter lost its mommy. And I looked down and there was one little otter away form the rest and he was trying to get around a rock and was not getting anywhere. He really did look like a very young one looking for his mommy. We stayed there and watched until he got back to the others. Then she looked at the birds and was also impressed with their beauty.
Her favorite thing is the Walrus she just loves to watch them; Of course the train is a big draw. She never forgets to thank the conductor for taking her on their train to see the Giraffes. Wonder if she thinks that is the only way to get to the giraffes, It is with grandmother, as I am ready to sit down awhile at that time.
