"I was really looking


forward to having fun tonight," said Natalie as we sat at Cafe Rio having dinner.


"Uh, excuse us, but isn't having dinner with us any fun?"

We understood what she meant, though, because we had planned to be at the "Beatles" concert at the outdoor Scera Shell. That is until it got rained out. It has been re-scheduled for Friday, but Gary will have the Timpview football game and I'll have a Stake meeting, so we won't be able to go.

Then Natalie said. "But I was really looking forward to watching you guys when you acted like you could dance."
Excuse us again!


She got in even deeper when she said, "But, mom, it's so funny to watch the expression on your face when you dance. You and all your brothers and sister get this same expression when you're dancing. It's so funny."


At that point, I'm afraid she was in so deep that she couldn't get out.

This made me laugh right out loud. Ha, ha. Funny girl. Well, I know you are really hot when you dance. I'm sure of it. Mr. Smirky is probalby hot too. What do kids know? In twenty years they won't know anything.

That look we get when we dance is the look of love for music and dance. Our whole family loved to dance. It is like a freedom that overcomes us and takes us places we can only dream of. It is almost an out-of-the-body experience.

Ha. Loved it. And I know exactly which expression she is talking about!

I have to agree with her mom. At least on the dancing part. Now the dinner part, I don't know!?

Annette-

It's a facial expression(my mom makes it too), like you really know what you are doing. Natalie's (no offense natalie) generation just doesn't know how to dance like yours. Tom- your dancing is out of body- literally. and uncle richard- your dancing usually ends in a bodily injury. but hey, you're great and we have loved growing up watching you.

Come on you people.....funny facial expressions is not just a Anderson trait. Did you not catch the pictures just a few day's ago? Now that is expression. Didn't mean to throw you under the bus Garaa, but "When Freadom Ring's"

The only person in our family who has a funny look on their face when they dance is Richard. Now, even I admit he looks funny. The rest of us just look "groovy."
