It's been 3 years - Friday, June 10th

 It's hard to imagine that the last time I attended one of Meghan's dance recitals was in June 2019. Fast forward 3 years (okay, not such a fast forward) and I once again had the opportunity to see her dance again. This was the 38th recital for the dance studio. 

She joined some of her other dance alumni for the opening number at the recital last night. It was a beautiful dance and the girls did it flawlessly. She's been driving up from London the past few weeks to rehearse. There's another performance tonight and one again tomorrow afternoon (Saturday).

Greg's mom, Lynne, was in town for some medical appointments on Wednesday and stayed overnight so she could also attend. My long time friend, Nancy, also joined us, just like in the old days!

Patti took Tristen to Canada's Wonderland for a school trip so there was no one home at her place. Perfect time for me to play in her kitchen. I made supper for all of us to enjoy before the show. Unfortunately Meghan had to work in London, so went straight to the River Run Centre from there. Lynne were there mid afternoon, after lunch with some friends and Patti and Nancy arrived just in time as well. I made some Paella which went over quite well, along with a spinach salad with almonds and fresh Ontario Strawberries, first of the season. For dessert I made a cake I've made several times out on the island but never with gluten free flour. I wasn't pleased with the way the cake looked after baking but once it was sandwiched between layers of  orange and white chocolate mousse like filling, it seems to have redeemed itself. By all accounts it was very good. 

After supper it was off to the show. It was great to see how much some of the girls have matured over 3 years. Some of them are not little kids anymore. 

When Meg's number was finished, she came and sat with us and it was the first time she's actually seen the recital from the audience.

Well done everyone. 

Tomorrow I'm off to Georgetown to my first of several highland games over the summer. I'm going to be a steward, attempting to keep everyone on track for their individual competitions. No idea what I'm doing but I guess I'll have to learn pretty quickly. 

Wish me luck!
