November 30 is our granddaughter's birthday and she celebrated it by attending the Nutcracker Ballet here in Houston. I took her for the first time when she was five years old and she fell in love with ballet and dancing and has been doing it ever since, and even had her own dance studio for several years. She danced in several productions of the ballet in Waco. I met one of the women who danced the Sugarplum Fairy and bought a pair of ballet shoes which she autographed to give Kaci for her birthday. Love the picture of you on pointe. My ballet teacher quietly told my mother that I would be better at something else and the classes were a waste of her money. This is one of my most favorite of Christmas programs and I play the tape of the music as often as I can get by with it.Martha W.

I haven't seen it in years but blast the Tchaikovsky score in my car in wintertime! Thanks Patty for a wonderful post and walk down memory lane! Btw, the pic of you on pointe is absolutely breathtaking! The Doctor's Bride sounds great. In fact, I'm looking forward to whole Hillsdale, Michigan Heartsong collection! kam110476https://www.blogger.com/profile/01693696612437738986noreply@blogger.com
