Highland Dancing Recital

April brought with it snow, colder than normal temperatures and the final recital for the girls' highland dance class. There were little girls in kilts everywhere you looked. The recital was held in our friends' living room and all the parents crowded in with cameras poised. It was very "small town" in the best sense.

Each group of dancers showed us their much-practiced routines and received lots of clapping and hurraying. Afterwards, all the kids crowded around the kitchen table for ice cream sundaes complete with gummie bears, marshmallows and lots of chocolate sauce. What a marvelous celebration! These are the times when living in the middle of nowhere is actually . . . I don't know . . . nice. ~Mandy
