What I was doing in the past day and today

Hello. Even though you all really really want to hear about my 6 day long trip with my grandparents, I am not going to post about that just yet. I will in a following post. Instead, I will tell you about my trip to my other grandparent's house.

Today we got home from Grandma and Grandpa's (Storhoff) house. Yesterday we did a show at the Green Lea Nursing Home that is a block away from their house. We had fun. We didn't really do that long of a show. Just a few dances, some songs, and piano numbers. And Grandpa told jokes. Here is one of them: A kid said to another kid, "My dad can lick your dad." The other kid said, "So? My mom can, too." hahaha. (Let's hope you're all dying of laughter right now.) Us four girls walked home from the show and we went to the sandhill. I'm not sure if any of you know what that is, so I will tell you: It is a HUGE hill that is made out of sand. It is a block from Grandma's house. It is very easy to climb up, and I have always wanted to carve my initials into it. You can break off pieces of sand off and it kind of looks like fake gold nuggets. 
Rookie is in a big cone because he cut is leg, right above his pads. I bet he can't wait to have it off. The good thing is, he can put his head on your lap without slobbering all over you.
We watched a movie called, "Yankee Doodle". It is about the life of George M. Cohan. It was good, but it was about 2 and a half hours long.
Grandma made her delicious waffles for breakfast. She was sorting through all of this old jewelry. Some of it was really ugly, but some of it was okay. We found some old unicorn earrings that we will try to polish up and fix. Miranda found an old locket that had Grandma's picture in it from a very long time ago. She took that home, because she didn't have a locket, and she wanted to put her picture next to Grandma's. The other thing was a little gold sand dollar that we put on a chain. I took that home, and I love it very much. We also found books that we took home. I got the following: Doctor Doolittle and the Secret Lake and Stories from the Arabian Nights. I will begin reading them ASAP. So, we all had a good time. I hope this post fits your enjoyment, because it did mine.
Love,
~Isabel~

We are leaving in 20 minutes

Hello.
Today we are leaving for the Milwaukee Spring Feis. It is a long 5-hour trip. Plus, we have this STUPID snow which has to keep coming back. I'm not sure if it will slow us down or not. I really really hope I get a good place in my softshoe at this feis. I have been working on my reel. My goal is to qualify for Oireachtas. I have to get a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in all of my dances to qualify. I have qualified in both of my hardshoe. Well, I think we are beginning to pack up now. 
Love,
Izzy
