Competition results and party questions

I suspected that things went awry in Texas because my sister did not post any comments about my niece. I ran into my sister on Monday, and she told me that my niece had come out of a turn and taken an extra step to adjust her horse riding stance in her form. This mistake flustered my niece and she forgot about presentation and loud ki yups. Consequently she missed the cut off by .5 of a point and came in 22nd in the country. I'm proud of her for her courage to compete, for her excellent sportsmanship and good attitude. She had fun and made many friends. On Saturday, a couple is hosting a party and their three daughters and their families will be together for the first time in many years. I have slipped bits of paper in balloons and will inflate them on Saturday. Questions such as "Did you get an allowance? How much?" "Your worst habit? Explain." "Best vacation. Why?" "Favorite hobby. Why?" "First date," and "Did you get an allowance and how much was it?" It sounds like every family member gets a turn to hold the floor. I answered these questions, my parents did not give me an allowance. I babysat, shoveled snow and cleaned house to earn money. My worst habit is to get addicted to something--soduko, reading, computers etc. My favorite hobby right now is riding my horse, Hope, and my first date was with the neighbor boy. We went mini golfing and had a pepsi. I enjoyed an anniversary visit this past spring. We stayed on the third floor of a bed and breakfast, and we both enjoyed stopping at the air zoo on the way home.
