#89 Create a blog and post 20 times 12/4/11

This my 20th (or more) post.  I have now posted at least 20 times.  I think it is fun to write in here.  I don't know if any one is actually reading this besides my family.  I will continue to write as I complete more of my goals.  I am way behind and am not happy with myself for making many of items have many steps to complete.  I hope that you enjoy reading about my adventures. 

#85 Go to the Ballet 12/3/11

As my Christmas (early) this year Jason bought tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet.  Tsiolkovsky is one of my favorite classical composers, so this was a double treat.

I didn't realize that I could bring my camera, so all I had was my phone to take pictures at the Orpheum.  I had a really good time.  There were children from local Minnesota dance studios dancing with the dance troop.  At times I found myself watching them instead of the professionals.  That might be because Jenni has been in dance for years and I have sat at quite a few recitals.  I was amazed at the dancer that would walk around the stage holding the ballerina with one hand above his head.  There were also some great jumps by the men.  They would look like they floating for a few seconds when they did leaps.  I would definitely go back.  I had a great time!!!  Thank you so much Jason for the great Christmas present!!

# 83 Teach Nicole to Crochet 11/19/11

This goal was added by my son.  Nicole is engaged to Dan (my son) and they will be married on August 25, 2012.  For Christmas  of 2010 I gave Nicole crochet hooks and yarn, but we never seemed to find the time to get to me teaching her.  They came to visit and I was working on a hat.  The lesson started right then.  She caught on quickly and in no time finished a potholder using two different stitches.
