Mist and Monty

Peter and Pip in audience

Mistaya’s band concert was phenomenal. They are a really talented band. Of course we heard glowing stories from various teachers about how they were received at recent competitions and the band tour to Vancouver. Apparently they are an award winning, outstanding grade nine band. I agree of course, not only because Mist is in it, but because they were awesome to listen to! They’ve been playing together for three years–all of the students picked up their instrument for the first time three years ago–they are now playing Mozart beautifully.
The hard part was that because the band teacher is retiring this year, the concert was 2 solid hours long with no breaks. Pip was ready to cry. I would have left her at home with the Tabs but she really wanted to come with us.
Applied to teach at 2 locations this fall (ZUMBA that is). I must teach simply because all of the Kelowna teachers are high impact and Zumba is not supposed to be high impact. Zumba is all about Latin dance and Latin dance is NOT high impact. My classes will be hard-core cardio but medium to low impact. So I will teach simply so I can dance and not blow out my knees.
Tabs is so cute. When we leave her home alone (if we’re out on errands), we inevitably get a phone call on the cell from her. Either the hall light flickered on suddenly by itself or the stove is making a weird sound and vibrating. It seems we have possessed appliances that come to life once we leave.
The girls and their dad leave Friday early morning for their road trip East: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan or bust!
 My week “alone” has already filled up with appointments. I will take no more as I so want to choreograph my final dances and start painting.
