Then we continued our celebration tonight with our annual Mardi Gras Parade/ pancake supper which was followed by a variety show. Both of my daughters performed in the show. My middle daughter tapped her way through a selection from Hairspray with a friend, and my oldest (gulp) performed a guitar SOLO--her first public performance. And, oh my, there were over 200 people there!!
I know that you are dying to see Sallie tap dance, but I am sad to report that the video will not export from my phone to my computer. Yes, you read that correctly. I am a parent who does not own a proper video camera. Please don't report me to DHS.
What I can show you is a rather crappy, sideways video of a stunning debut performance by my daughter Anne who is singing Ingrid Michelson's Take Me the Way I Am (this video totally doesn't do her justice--she sounded great!).
Happy Fat Tuesday everyone! Laissez les bon temps roulez!!
AND . . . Happy Chinese New Year! I've got dragons on my brain today . . . sketching dragons.

Beautiful job, Anne! What a brave, talented girl. And she and my drummer boy need to meet... he LIVES for opportunities to get on a stage. Not sure where he comes from...

YAY Anne!!!!!!! And you can't really see how gorgeous that King Cake is! It's purple and green and sparkly :)
King Cake -- wow, I never even heard of that.
And your daughter was great - you guys must be really proud.
P.S. Have you guys considered filling in for Oprah after she's gone? I know that I totally take your endorsement as gospel. Just think you guys could do a Plot This Favorite Things.
