Pretty in Pink


I remember when Terra was tiny and just starting out in ballet. She was in a recital and was a little mouse with a bunch of other little mice. At the end of the recital, I lost sight of her because the stage was packed and suddenly I saw the ballet teacher lift someone up and hug her. A little child was upset. I couldn't see the child's face because she had her face buried in her teacher's neck but I looked at the little mouse's back and the little mouse tail .....And then I said to Betty, "I recognize those buns. That's Terra!"
Terra went on to years of ballet, touring with the professional company and demonstrated a phenomenal memory for choreography. Toni Pimbal, the choreographer for the Eugene Ballet, would often ask Terra how a dance sequence went from the previous year.
And now Kylee is starting out with dance. Who knows where it might go or it might just be for fun.
It's sure fun for me to see a cute little girl in a pink tutu!
