Thinking of Daphne

 This was taken for an advertisement for my Mom's dance studio.  I did toe dance up through high school, but my favorite was jazz.  
 Yes Daph, I think I went on toe shoes when I was 11 years old (maybe 10....if so, my ballet teacher should be shot!) Anyway, here I am as the 'swan' in Swan Lake.  Humpfh.  I think you look a LOT better in toe shoes than I did.....
Daphne, I am proud of you for practicing and getting strong enough and good enough to go on toe shoes.  I bet you get really good.  I didn't really practice enough to get very good, but it sure was fun.  I look forward to seeing you dance!  I love you!  Grammie

Have I seen these? I am so impressed.
Is that you in the ad?
You are so tan that I almost didn't recognize you.

We definitely need more blasts from mom and dad's past on here. Come on. Pleeease!!

Although Grammie/Mom/Anita is sadly no longer on her toes, she does keep me on my toes.
So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Impressive, Mom! You're gorgeous in that first shot. I wish we had more photos of you dancing, but I'm glad we found those.
