Busy Busy Busy

The fall gymnastics season starts next weekend with the first meet on Sunday. J is competing level 6 but she is working really hard to move up to level 7. She is working on a half on vault in order to start throwing harder vaults. Here is a link to an example of what she is doing. VAULT

9/11

I was so busy at school today but still I had this nagging sadness all day. How do we make the world a place where terrorism does not happen any more? For that matter...how do we make the world a place where genocide does not happen any more? Child abuse? Slave trade? Oppression?

Why aren't you following my blog? Don't you know I will pester you until you do?

Okay Okay

So I haven't updated in a while! It was a VERY busy summer. We didn't get any vacation time. J did go to gymnastics camp at UNH and started to learn her back handspring on the balance beam. She went to her regular gymnastics work outs throughout the summer. She also spent two weeks at Camp Huckins and had a wonderful time. We managed to find time to spend Labor Day weekend at Camp Huckins for family camp. I spent my summer having my gall bladder removed...not the smooth operation the surgeon was anticipating but I survived and all is well, thanks Phoebe, for the after surgery care...and working at school. There was no real vacation. That won't happen again. I have already reserved two weeks next July. When someone says, "Can we meet on such and such a date?" I can now say, "Sorry, I'll be on vacation." That way we will have some time to do some fun stuff next summer I did manage to squeeze in some time to play Aunt Eller in OKLAHOMA! at the Summer Theater at Meredith Village. I had a blast!

The school year has been launched successfully. I can not believe J is in 6th grade already. Where has the time gone? She is very active. Competitive gymnastics takes up most of her free time. They start the fall competitive schedule in two weeks and then there is a meet every other weekend until the beginning of December. We are also starting middle school drama tomorrow.

For the first time in 5 years I am not involved in a fall community theater production. At first I was kinda worried I would miss it but it has been some what of a relief. I am sure I will get involved again. Well, I am still involved. I am helping a friend with the publicity for Mame at the Village Players and I am still on the board there. I am just not acting, choreographing or directing any productions this fall...except for the middle school show, James and the Giant Peach.

That's all for now. Check back again. I promise to update more often.
