Baton

“Lordy mercy, (oh no, does that sound like my grandmother?) will she ever run out of old dancing pictures?” I’m getting close to the end. I think I have just one more after this unless I run across some more old negatives and that isn’t likely to happen.

Besides taking tap, I took ballet and baton for a very short time not long enough to get very good at either of them. I did have this picture made with my baton. I remember especially the sundress that I had on. It was really short, but I loved that dress. I talked my mother into letting me wear it to school one day. It’s a wonder they didn’t send me home. I really liked ballet. I especially liked the soft leather shoes. The soles were soft leather like the tops. They were not the ballet shoes that you usually see. I didn’t get that far along. But I loved those little shoes. Wish I had a picture of them. I don’t – but I still remember them well.
