Thank you.
I'm so proud of the men in my life. All of them did wonderful on stage. And I tell you if you close your eyes when John two bears is singing his song it's very spiritual. I had a good time.
My masculine walk came in handy this weekend (I have actually walked like that for years). It is much more noticable with a skirt I noticed. But I do guess that the bowlegs have to come in handy sometime.
Julie looked soooooooooooo cute in her skirt. I vote Izzy wears a patchwork skirt from now on.
It was so nice getting to meet the people I have talked to on line. I am an odd little bird, but I'm nice...promise. If anyone thought it was odd that my accent didn't drop when I was just talking out of character, I apologize. If I drop the accent it does not come back so easy. And it's a fairly hard one to do. I even sing...badly...with it.
I have decided that if I can get the money together this week I will be buying a skunk pelt to wear. Esmerelda would look FABULOUS in a skunk pelt me thinks. I also have to come up with some boots for Thomas (Cookie in the band) this week. His are too big and he has discovered a love of the dance and is having a hard time in boots too big for him.
Brother William is doing such a fantastic job apprenticing Ben (Grey). They look so wonderful wandering around together. And all the help he has been to Grey has been amazing!!! Thank you Riley, I cannot tell you how much it means for me to see him connecting. He's so quiet, but he is such a great kid. My children are something I take much pride and joy in. I don't just say that lightly. Anyone who knows me knows I don't praise unless it is sincere and earned.
I was talking with Julie and Eric tonight (they stopped by our house on their way home) and I was telling them that I am making connections with people like I haven't in years. I won't go into it, but I have great reason to not trust and not make new friends lightly. So for those of you I have befriended, thank you so much for allowing me this. It is reopening a part of me I shut off for self preservation, and I thought I had it shut for good. The last person I let in like that was Eric, and that was years ago now.
And Eric, thank you for opening this opportunity for me. Well, more like nudged me into. A good friend knows when you need a little shove. Julie very gently pulled me in and I am so grateful she did. I have made the commitment to get myself up and out again. The jester tried to pull me into dance and I wanted to, but I balked at the last minute. Eventually I will get there, and I have a feeling it will be duck and cover when you see me coming in the near future. I was like that when I was younger.
Long story short, thank you all for letting me into your world. It has been, and continues to be a positive and I trully feel needed experience.
