Oops!

Something seems to be wrong with my image uploader.  I will see if I can get it fixed.  The images show up on my fusion publisher so I’m not sure what is wrong.


Update:
Well as you can see the pictures below are just fine now.  Leighton – thanks.  These Prairie Fusion guys are sure great!

They did it!

So we went to this place today

The day was beautiful for the drive – got a bit windy in the afternoon but was nice and warm. 

The girls danced well.  As the adjudicator said as she called them up ” Now that is Hip Hop!”  They were awarded gold with a mark of 89.  So here are my wonderful girls – well only one really belongs to me – Grace is on the left as you look at the picture.  Natalie is Grace’s best friend and dancing partner.  They have gone to the same school since grade 2 and danced together for about 5 years.  And they are both petite so make a great pair at dancing – both are less than 5 feet tall.

Bigger and Biggar

Biggar has this crazy slogan “New York may be big but we are Biggar”  that about everyone repeats and that about everyone is tired of.  Biggar is just a little spot on the prairie map, a small hotel, a restaurant or two, a few churches and an art centre.  The community is big into music and dance festivals and competitions.  They hold one of the largest dance competitions in the province.  And today that is where we are going.

Grace and her friend, Nathalie, will be dancing their duet today.  On Thursday, Grace danced her solo and large group dance – Gold medal performances in both.  Today, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t pull off another gold. 

Grace hasn’t danced a solo in competition before this one.  I am so thankful that it went well.  She had been stressing out in her own inward sort of way for over a week.  She stopped eating on Tuesday.  Another thing for me to worry about I suppose.  She ate a hot dog on the way back Thursday night and was sick – lost it all.  I suggested that a hot dog is probably not a friendly to your stomach sort of food.  Maybe she should start out with some soup or toast – something a bit more bland and easy to digest.  But what does a mother know anyway?

Anyway, in about an hour we will pack ourselves into my vehicle and head south to the big town of Biggar.  It looks like a beautiful day for the trip.
