She and her generation will be in charge of the planet some day; I hope they can get things going in the right direction.

I worry about the young folks.

flowers for us, presented after the show, and another student asked for my autograph!!! A few of us were on local TV several times. All good experience. When I did a solo Can Can, the music didn't stop when my routine was finished!!! Unexpected! So I just trotted around back and forth across the stage, doing different steps each lap. Soon the audience started laughing every time I reached one end of the stage and lit out for another run. This went on for five or six runs before the music blessedly ended. I had no idea what the laughter was about, since the audience was in complete darkness. I found out later that a GI had run up to the stage to take a photo, but I darted off before he got the photo.... so he chased me to the other end, got his camera ready and off I'd dart again, being completely unable to see him. So back and forth the two of us trotted, giving the audience a much more entertaining dance number than the choreographed one!!!!

She WAS thrilled; tired now. Sorry I'm leaving tomorrow.

Here's home pool (house just bought in January.)



There were bunches of flowers in front of the theater ( it actually IS a theater,) and many/most went home with large bouquets.
