Ballroom Dance Competition.

What a fun, entertaining and exciting day. We spent the day watching Dustin and his students kick up their heels at the Seattle Star Ballroom Dance Competition. Two of those students were Aviana & Lily, our beautiful granddaughters. They were two of the youngest competitors there. And they danced right alongside of the adults. They won so many first and second place awards that I lost count. Dustin had two other students there and they placed  6th and 8th for the overall student award.     Dustin's studio; Absolute Rhythm, came in 8th, and he placed 6th in the top teacher category (a cash prize).   These are all high rankings,as there are hundreds of entrants. Congratulations to my son, his wife Laura , his students and studio for all there hard work. Your efforts have paid off. 

It's very hard to take good dance photos on a cell phone. But I am going to work on you tubing some video in the next few days. 

Have a blessed week. 

PS. I'm giving a speech on Tuesday. Pray for my nerves. 

Pikes place market.

This afternoon we met up with the kids and their students at the marketplace.

We spent the afternoon meandering the streets of Seattle. 

It wasn't intil about 4:30 that I realized that I'd been in Seattle for a day and a half and had not had a decent cup of coffee. That's almost criminal in my book!  So we found a great little coffee shop and remedied that situation. Aaaahhh!  All better now. What a perfect day.

Good Morning Seattle

I woke up on Seattle this morning. How awesome was that! We came up for Dustin and Laura's (my son & daughter in law's) dance competition, and decided to do some off the beaten path sight seeing.  Some of our  BFFs, Mark and Cathy, from the Vancouver area drove up to meet us and spend the weekend with us.  While the guys went to the air museum, Cathy and I spent the morning at the cutest 

Iittle shopping area called the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall. It's a bunch of old trailers lined up, and selling all sorts of fun, kitschy second hand wares.

It was so much fun browsing through stuff that is now considered "vintage", what I grew up with. I guess that means I'm vintage, (not quite antique).
