O'Sullivan's Dance Academy Wins

Today, Melissa's talented kids won first place in the Dance KAR competition in Alameda, CA. It was a production number based on Harry Potter. It was original and age appropriate.

The background and props were done by Melissa and a number of talented parents. There are 3 sections of stairs which seem to move by themselves just as in the books and movies. It begins with children arriving in a small boat with no oars or motor which floats across the stage.

The dancing is wonderful and includes roller skating, modern dance, jazz dance, modern top 40 dancing as well as flying owls and a kwiditch game.

I found the pictures. One of the team and the trophy and the other of a part of the performance.
The trophy is 4ft. tall. Taller than some of the dancers.

Congratulations, O'Sullivan's Dance Academy. www.osdance.com

The Little Guy - A School Picture

This is Aidan's 18 month picture from his Daycare School. He is such a cutie. He is physically very active and is giving back to his mom as she did to hers. (lol)
He tries very hard to talk, but it is gobbledygook. But he is speaking in sentences in his language. I expect real words very soon. Hopefully before his Mom, Cindy, goes around the bend.

On Mother's Day

Sunday is a quiet day. After attending Peter P's reading from his novel yesterday at SJSU it is tired here. Perhaps visiting with Gramma will give me some energy again.

I do want to show you Peter's performance. He uploaded his reading of one of the final chapters (one that lends itself to oral interpretation readily) to Utube. Other chapters of the novel, "The Juanita Papers: A Cacophony", are exceptionally visual and different, allowing those of us who "grt otrs w/smpl wrds" on our computers or cell phones to get "into it".

Let me know what you think. If you know a literary agent who might like this novel, let me know about that too.
