Mother and child

I used to work at this faire and now it has moved on without me. It is even in a new location. It moved from El Chorro Regional Park to Laguna Lake in San Luis Obispo, CA. But since I was visiting my daughter and her family wanted to go, I got to go too. I made a red tunic so my grandson could be a pirate. I let out the seams in my daughter's bodice because she's a different size after giving birth five months ago. Her husband's garb didn't fit either because he's been working out and can't get into his shirts! So we did the best we could. I had not brought my garb on the train of course, so I made do with what I had. Surprised it all turned out so well though. Huzzah!

I want gold.

Dance Shop

Yesterday I took a walk down memory lane when we visiting the local dance shop. The owner didn't recognize me until I jogged her memory. Then again she probably hasn't seen me in 10 years. I started going there before I got married, so it was about 30 years ago. It's really something that a small business in a small town can hang in there in this economy. But I also felt bad that I never made a name for myself there. One of my students went on to open a world dance studio. One of my ballet teachers went back to college and became a psychologist and moved back east. Seems everyone has done something with their lives except me.
