Laudation, Injuries, Dance, and an Announcement...
Let's start with the lauding...
Thank you to everyone who participated in the "First-Line Fest". I enjoyed searching out the quotes, and hopefully you enjoyed trying to dig from the far corners of your memory where they came from. Perhaps you found some new books that sound interesting, or a few old friends that you had forgotten, and would like to read again.
Miss Elizabeth has earned the laurel wreath for this contest, by correctly guessing all 14 of the quotes. She is deserving of the honor and praise that I promised to the winner of my little contest. If you get a second, go over to her blog and leave her a comment letting her know how impressed you are.
In case you wished to know the exact answers, here they are:
1. Little Women
2. Tale of Two Cities
3. Princess Bride
4. Green Eggs and Ham
5. Peter Pan
6. Emma
7. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
8. Mr. Popper's Penguins
9. A Christmas Carol
10. The Hundred and One Dalmatians (First published as "The Great Dog Robbery".)
12. Scaramouche
13. The Scarlet Pimpernel
14. Anna Karenina
15. The Bible
Jessica is also deserving of special recognition. This is not because of the number of correct answers she gave, but simply because of the original nature of her guesses. She made me laugh... "Pongo Jr. vs. the Yellow Spotted Lizard". It is hilarious! Thanks Jess!!!!
Today we had the last performance of our dance recital. It was fun, and grueling, and enjoyable, and exhausting; in other words, everything a dance recital should be. I find myself looking forward to the next, even though the last finished a mere twelve hours ago. It is too late at night for more description, but I will see if I can get some pictures up here at some point...
Dad, while taking pictures at the dress rehearsal, he is one of the official photographers of the event, stepped backwards onto what he thought was solid ground. It turned out to be the air above the six (or so) steps that led down off the stage. Per the laws of gravity, he tumbled down the stairs and twisted his ankle. Now in crutches, he is hobbling around. Please pray for a speedy recovery! He needs full use of both feet!!!!!
Now, it is time to announce that tomorrow we leave on our trip!!!!!! Stay tuned to this blog for tales of excitement, adventure, craziness, and just a generally fun time. You will also be getting information about the various places we visit, learn about people we meet, restaurant reviews, travel guidance, along with bits of historical trivia, bundled up in a package that is sure to have you laughing! Yes, all this for only $0.00! But wait, there is more! Act now, and you can receive backstage passes to interact with the participants of this critically acclaimed drama, simply post a comment, and you will have complete access to members of the Hector Family. Get your chance to meet the stars, before it is too late!
Can you tell we are excited?
It is very late, and time for me to head for bed. We leave in 5 hours (7am), and a little bit of sleep would be nice. I know that I said the trip starts tomorrow, but in reality it is later this morning!!!! |

About Me
The musings of a GRADUATED stay at home son, eldest of nine. My thoughts on life and its occurrences as I begin, with my Lord's ineffably great help, to form my own household, as I continue to live under my parent's guidance.
