Highland Friends


At the Sudbury Celtic Festival and Games dance competition, we were joined by two of Mae's fellow dancers from our dance school: On Your Toes School of Highland Dance, with the fabulous Miss Jacquelyn Nicholls teaching. Karyn and Briar have become great friends to Mae and the girls had a great time together. During the competition a local newspaper photographer took refuge under our tent during the opening ceremonies and promised to return to take a picture of the girls. She made good on her promise and when I checked the June edition of the "Snap Sudbury" paper I found a picture of our girls. :)

Briar on the right in the photo had a great day in her last "Novice" competition earning a 4th, 2nd, and two 1st in her four dances and took the overall Novice trophy on the day...woo hoo!! Karyn and Mae ended up competing against each other...ACK...in what was Mae's first "Intermediate" competition. Both girls did Miss Jacquelyn, and themselves, proud with Karyn earning two 3rd and one 1st and Mae earning one 3rd and three 2nd in their four dances! It was a great day and so much fun! And who knew it would be sweltering hot and sunny in Sudbury on the May 2-4 weekend! ;)

Hello? Is this thing on??

Hello poor, neglected, little blog. It's not my fault. Blame Facebook.

I want to try putting some videos on here, new gadget, new learning curve. I am sans camera right now and I'm suffering major withdrawal symptoms, ugh. So I will have to make due with some videos for now.

These vids show Mae competing in Sudbury at her first competition as an "intermediate" highland dancer. The day was topped off by a wicked evening performance by Ashley MacIsaac. Bliss.

Enjoy!

Whoopsie, guess I should have told you which one she is...hehe. She's the little one in the white sailor suit on the left in the first vid and the little one on the left in the blue jacket in the other vids.

Welcome 2010!


I hope you have all enjoyed your holiday season and you were able to ring in the new year with people you love. I have no idea where the last few months have gone, life just seems to fly by at light speed these days. I would think having four busy kids would have something to do with it!

Wishing love, peace and happiness to all.

Love from me and the clan xo
