Saturday we went out with friends to see the circus. Since Rocket has been home, this has been one of my favorite things to do. Unfortunately, this is the last year. Not because Rocket is growing up, but because the circus is closing in May. I am so sad- this something from my childhood that I love sharing with Rocket.
I am so glad we got to go again this year. I was pretty emotional through the entire circus. I really wanted the audience to give them a standing ovation at the end, but people just got up and walked out. The end of an era.
Picking up clown noses before the show.
watching the pre-show activities on the floor. We were watching some of the clowns and then the BMX bikers came out. In the far back were jugglers and acrobats.
Beside us, there was an area to get pictures with some of performers. I was the only one who was bold enough (from our group) to get a picture. Come to find out later, this lady gets shot out of cannon- COOL. she is my hero.

I realized early on that my iphone sucks at taking photos at the circus. I forgot to bring my other camera. these are the mermaids in the air. I liked them. I think the best part was the high wire walkers, the lady being shot out of cannon and the wheel walker. Rocket liked the tigers and the cool trampoline act.
Sunrise on Monday morning here.
The weather has been really wacky- back in February it was like Spring had started and then March came and suddenly we are back in winter. Today it will never get warmer than 0 C (32 F). We are freezing at the bus stop these days.
the snow that came Monday evening and Tuesday. The East coast got pounded with the snow and we got just under an inch, but most of it melted quickly due to the ground being warmer. I am hoping that the official start to Spring in 5 days means winter is behind us. I am ready to plant.
In other news, I am getting new glasses. As part of the process, they have to dilate my eyes to check that everything is OK. This is what my eyes looked like after the appointment. I was fine looking at things far away, but it was nightmare driving last night (rocket had scouts) and reading my book. there was so much glare from the lights that I ended up with a headache.
I probably should have gone to bed early, but I did not. I need to stop that- I should go to bed when I am tired or when I need to go to bed, not stay up because that is what I always do.
The time has changed here, so we are back to being 1 hour different from the time in Guatemala. WOHOOOOO- more time to talk with Popi, Momi and the girls. Hopefully we will get to talk soon.
Love and hugs,
Deb
