Mission Impossible ... Doin' The Dance Of Joy...

Yesterday I went to Phinnaeus's concert, and it was wonderful. The theme of the concert was "Themes", which I thought was quite imaginative. They played the theme from "Mission Impossible", "The Muppet Show", "Wallace and Gromit", and various cartoons, including "The Flintstones". My two favorites were "Hawaii 5-0" and "Peter Gunn". The kids all did a fabulous job, but more importantly, they had fun.

The concert was in a perfect setting in a beautiful outdoor park. I was able to get some pictures and videos, but just as I was about to video Phinnaeus's solo, a woman -- complete with a video camera on a tripod -- plopped herself directly in front of me. *Nooooo....* I guess she didn't get the memo that traditionally those cameras are supposed to be used from further back, so they don't disrupt other folks' views. Oh, well... I happened to glance over and saw a little girl who was definitely enjoying the concert. I mean, she had moves...! Talk about the dance of joy. Watch out, Lady Gaga, there's someone close on your heels.



It's a beautiful summer day here. I hope you all go out, have fun, enjoy yourselves, and do the dance of joy.

What a born dancer! She's definitely got moves. And yes, it's a beautiful day in our part of the world, isn't it? I just went to the Farmers' Market and noticed an abundance of smiles along with the produce.

Truly a gifted little dancer! It is scorching hot here with over 90% humidity. Too hot to enjoy being outside, but I have a lot of tent campers ..... go figure.

Such a nice happy dance! Was that Phinnaeus's solo in the background? If so, he's AWESOME!

That sounded really great! I wish people could be more considerate with their cameras and such. The little one was adorable. She looks way too classy to be Gaga.
