DD and I went to another state yesterday, so that she could audition for a music scholarship. We ended up getting snowed in there, and had top stay at a hotel!

Anyway...we ventured out to find something to eat, and stopped at a Hallmark store. They had one of Samantha's tea sets left! I haven't seen these at Hallmark stores in a long time. So I grabbed it. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm not sure I will keep it, though. DD collects antique children's tea sets, and I like to display them in my kitchen. So, Samantha's doesn't really fit in. But I HAD to get it....LOL

Anyway! DD's audition was fantastic. I was a little bit afraid that she would get nervous, and lose her cool. That would have been a disaster. But...she did a lovely job. Some of the best I've heard from her. Sometimes, she holds back a little bit, because she doesn't want people to think she's showing off...which drives me nuts! Well....she did not hold back! She really gave them a show.

They were moving the people in and out of the audition room, very quickly. When one person was done, they would open the door, and usher that person out, as they were sending another one in. When DD got done, they opened the door for her, but stopped the next person from coming in. They said they needed to have a discussion. When we left, they were still talking about her! So, who knows....

I'm really excited for her. I swear...when she performs, she goes into another world. It's like in the movie, For Love of the Game. Kevin Costner plays a baseball pitcher. Everytime he pitches, he tells himself to "clear the mechanism". I swear...that what she does. She has huge dreams, and I don't know if she will reach them, but boy...is this ever fun.

Sorry...went off track.... [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
