Went with M to see my granddaughter's dance recital.  She goes to a wonderful dancing school that supports kids: they have fun,  they learn discipline,  grace  . . .  it's just a blessing for those who are talented and those who want fun and exercise.  Wow.  The director of this school is living her vision and uplifting kids.

My granddaughter won the top prize of the evening--for being a great example to other kids--good grades,  coming to class on time,  giving her all and making great strides as a dancer.  I was so proud of her.  

MKate couldn't join us for movie night,  so we didn't see the movie that she most wanted to see-Bolt.  Instead we had a yummy dinner at Chioptle and saw the new James Bond movie.  I don't like violence but Luke has been working hard lately and he deserved his first choice.  The new James Bond is adorable with beautiful,  clear blue eyes.  The character of Bond has changed over the years,  and become deeper and less super hero like.  

These are golden days.  The more you value the sweetness of life ,  the sweeter it becomes.
