Well, I travelled 1600 miles and did not do well in my first event. I did OK, but here OK is not good enough. There were 25 skaters in the event and I ended up in 15th with scores of 14, 4, and 18 from each judge. The skater holding first going into the finals had scores of 2,2,1 and the girl in 2nd scored 3,3, 19. Another skater got 13,11, 1. Disappointing, but I have never skated that event at nationals. I skate again on Thursday, August 5th. So from now until then, I will practice, practice, practice. I like to skate at the national practice "rink", which is a travel national floor laid in the hockey arena on the fairgrounds with no air conditioning. I have been skating from 5-6:30am so it is "cooler", like 78 degrees rather than 95+ degrees. Then I have been skating in the afternoon at the airconditioned rink with the coaches. I WILL do better in the next event. Stay tuned :)
I have pictures taken of us but I can't find the cord right now for the computer.
We are staying at a GREAT place -- Camp-A-way, pool, playground, swings, very shading, quiet (except for the bugs), lots of skaters, trees.
We are doing fine but miss our family. See you soon.

Thanks for the post. Hear the air is up and running, great. Lots of love and good thoughts. The campground sounds perfect for the wee trio and lots of fun. Love to all.
