dolariI've been mostly quiet about my vacation. I've been to Austin multiple times, visiting friends, seen folks here in San Antonio. Done a trip or two into the Hill Country. I do feel, though, I've pretty much seen everything (if not everyone) I've wanted to.
The last few days have been with Steph, and her family. I got to sit and talk and share for hours with them, including Emma who I hadn't seen in forever. But the real joy for me this last week of all things?
Going to a a local gymnastics school to watch her daughter Elmyra doing flips and jumps.
I had a super SUPER love of tumbling when I was in fifth grade. Flips, jumps, cartwheels, all sorts of neat controlled falling. :) I absolutely super enjoyed doing that for six weeks in fifth grade.
I really wanted to get into it in Middle School...but sadly, it was a gendered class and only girls were allowed to take it. Another thing I missed out because of a chromosome.
But watching her doing all those flips and jumps and tumbles brought me right back to 1985. And I was a smiling fool the whole time.
