Pirates the Musical!

Ateena was a pirate for the 5th grade spring play this evening!  

The play was good, although some younger audience members appeared
to find that it dragged a bit through the musical numbers. . .

Some parts were really scary!

Afterward it was hard to find my pirate. . . .it was like trying to find each other at
 the end of a huge costume party to which everyone came as a pirate :)

How does she do that without falling over?!

Pinehaven and Berkeley Pier -- Retro Post from ca. 1972

Pinehaven is where we lived.  Berkeley Pier is where we have the fishing poles.  (unless I've mixed it up with another pier. . .so many piers.)
That is Aunt Ruth swinging from the pine trees.
Gramma is holding Tinka the fox terrier.
Your grandfather is turning soil so we can plan a lawn.
I'm the tiger.  That was my favorite shirt.  I still have it.

The wild dalmatian at the end is Pochahontas. 

Four Years Ago. . .

Frances' birthday party four years ago this week.

      Everyone looks so much older now, don't they.

Below is Frances now, at the Electric Station.
