Tiny Dancer

 Sunday May 17th was Presley's dance recital. There were a total of 30 performances including the finale. She was in two of them plus the finale. I sat through watching a lot of kids who did an excellent job but it was the ones where Presley was dancing that I enjoyed the most.

Unfortunately my phone took lousy pictures but I had some pictures that I got from Amanda and a couple I took from my daughter in laws FB page. She is 3rd from the left in the first and 2nd from the left in the second picutre.

I did grab a picture of her afterwards but she was already changed out of her costume.

How about a couple of her professional photos that were taken.

We remember

 

Memorial Day always lands with a quieter weight than most holidays. It’s a day built on reflection more than celebration — a pause to acknowledge the men and women who never made it home, and the families whose lives were permanently reshaped by that sacrifice. However you spend the day — working, resting, grilling, or just trying to catch up on life — I hope there’s a moment of stillness in it, a moment to honor the people who gave up their ordinary days so we could have ours.

Fresh eggs

 Amanda was visiting with her friend who's sister has chickens. She got a bunch of fresh eggs. Unwashed and not refrigerated. When I was at Amanda's house the one day she gave me some of the eggs.

I was a bit nervous about trying them. I don't know why because they are most likely safter than the ones I get int he grocery store. One morning I decided to scramble a couple of them for my breakfast.

Perfectly delicious.

Apparently as long as you do not wash the eggs they are good unrefrigerated for up to a month. Once you wash them though they need to go in the refrigerator.
