The merry month of May!

Hey Kids,

This time last year I was a stress case as I prepared for the studio's annual recital, but of course it's always very exciting to see how the students progressed over the year.  On the home front we were in the middle of trying to figure out what we were going to do since my husband decided to leave his job.  Needless to say, this time last year was quite stressful.

This year, I have no classes, no recital, no older children graduating, we have big travel plans behind us and nothing until mid-June, so things are very quite this month and while I'm a bit melancholy for the hub-bub, I realize it's a gift to be relaxed and I'm gladly endulging. 

I've committed myself last night to officially joining the Irish Tour of Heaven & Earth (meaning, I spent the last of my UA Miles to get the ticket!).  Rehearsals are underway, and we'll leave June 15th.  Sara Honey will meet me over there somewhere and we are trying to work out the details.  If anyone else is over there at that time, please let me know!

I'm feeling pretty calm about the JUBILEE! reunion as one of our alumni has agreed to host the family day, but I've not heard back which day.  I've asked for Thursday or Friday (July 28 or 29).   I've also put out a note about 1st show on Thursday, July 28th.  I thought about 2nd show as we could go out later, but Jerri reminded me that most locals have kids/jobs and won't want to stay out late, so I took her advice.

I'm calling Randy & Diane this week to let them know what is happening.  Brooke Brown said it's probably better to see if Randy can get us the tickets at this point.  They are $15 which I think is totally reasonable.  Crazy Horse was 25 Euro for dancers and Kimberly is friends with the stage manager!  So, I don't think we can complain. 

Shannon Hardin sent an email and posted an invite on FB for Golden Rainbow.  If I was in Vegas, I'd love to do it, it sounds like a great time, especially if you never had the opportunity to perform in a Golden Rainbow event:

Don't forget, we'll be sharing our July 28th-30th weekend with S&R performers, so if you know folks from both, please send them this link!   For S&R info please contact Kimberly Shelton either on FB or leave her a message on here!  

 

After I speak with Diane & Randy I'll let you all know if there is anything new to report.  Apparently it's the same ol' same ol'---SECRET.  

I hope that you are all enjoying yourselves and see you in July!  Love to hear from you at any time!
