A Very Rainy Day and A Dance Recital

It started raining a bit last evening, then it rained hard off and on during the night. It was still raining this morning and it seemed like there were showers most of the day. We did go downtown and checked both Home Depot and Lowes looking for another 50 amp electrical hookup for the ranch. Neither place carried such a thing and both of them recommended we check with Platt Electric. Unfortunately, Platt's is not open on Saturday afternoons and by then it was already after lunch...

Daughter Mary Mae and Granddaughter Claire left early this morning for dress rehearsal for Claire's Dance Recital tonight. We all had an early dinner this afternoon so that we could get to the school where the recital was being held early enough to get good seats. But, everyone else had the same idea! With both sets of grandparents, her parents and her brother, we needed seven seats. We couldn't get seats together and had to split up, but it worked out all right. They wouldn't allow you to use cameras with flash during the performances (they had a professional photographer) so this picture was taken with my iPhone:

This was Claire's Hip Hop number. She also had tap and ballet routines. We had not seen one of her recitals for three years and it was amazing to see what good progress she has made. Of course, the show was stolen by the littlest (three and four-year old) ones.
