Dumas Dancing

Tonight was dance recital rehearsal in Dumas for Allison. What a cutie! It was a sort of family event, the good kind of sort of. I've known Allison's mom for years by way of my brother's family and we are sort of in-laws, but mostly family by choice. We plotted our course through Dumas in order to see them, except technically they no longer live in Dumas, but Sunray. It's 30 miles to Oklahoma and 30 more to Kansas, and Allison had been on field trip to Oz that day. Then there was dance recital rehearsal. It was fun to watch the wee ones. Allison at level one is quite advanced and accomplished. Joining her were mom, dad and brother Sammy. Sammy doesn't dance, but he sure does have other skills. I would be hard pressed to pick my favorite personality, as they are both incredible. They treated us to dinner after and then we shared a Shiner in the RV in the FREE Dumas RV park, right by the train tracks, till no one could stay awake any more. It was a good evening for all, although maybe not quite so restful a night. Lots of trains, lots of winds. We experienced "weather" in the Panhandle. All prime time programming was pre-empted to highlight the wild weather; this is storm chaser country. After all, we are just 60 miles from Oz.
