A Bittersweet Year

I've been busy with tap dance this past week. I had a recital last Saturday. I have been dancing most of my life. I did ballet for nearly seven years and tap once when I was four. I took tap up again during high school and it has been the best four years of dance. I started with my old friends and ended with new ones. It is sad to think this may have been my last year - at least for now. I could continue to dance where I have been and keep excelling, but it will depend where I am in life at that point.

This year my class danced to a blues piece. We wore nifty hats, ties and men's oxford shirts. The shirt was practically a dress on me. I took it in, but I still felt like a waitress wearing a mu-mu. Anyway, it looked fine in the end and I even grew fond of my costume - I usually do. :)
Can you tell which one is me?Yup - second from the right!

Johnny Rockets!

My friend and I passed by this cute little restaurant in the mall. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to eat there.

They give you this right before they serve your meal, so cute!

Complete with a cherry coke!

Beyond the Sea

"...somewhere waitin' for me..."
Love that song by Bobby Darin. :)

One day, one very blustery day, a friend and I went down to the docks.

It was beautiful.

I felt like I was going to get blown over here.

It was so cool being right next to the waves, eddying winds and all.

Mount. Agamenticus

Went hiking a few weeks ago!

I gave the tree a helping hand, or two. :)



And I really miss swinging. What was your favorite thing to do on the playground?
