This is truly wonderful for our children to be living in Needham and so close to the Boston Ballet School in Newtonville. My granddaughter is in her 3 rd year there and it is a treat. So close to Needham and right next to it is a wonderful shop called "Brussel Sprouts" and just next to that is a store where you can outfit a ballerina and it is all right there in one little block.

It is all just wonderful. We went to peek week yesterday and that was a treat. The children are amazing and some will be picked for the "Nutcraker."

A little aside here. If you have not seen "Game Plan" it is a treat too. One of the chidlren is throughout the movie because she is part of this wonderful organization and very talented. It is about a football player and his little girl who is supposed to be going to ballet school. See it if you have not. We have watched so many times especially knowing that she is in it.

The child can start at 2. This is a great opportunity for our childrenand in my case grandchildren.

I just love the 4th of July. I love the cookout, the family, and no shopping. It is just great to kick off the summer this way for us in this great town of Needham. Best of all is the Needham Celebration that starts on Friday July 3rd with the best fireworks you could possibly ever see and enjoy on top of the the Needham High School hill. There are none to compare and since we didn't have them last year I am expecting them to be the best.

Thanks to The Exchange Club of Needham members who work tirelessly to make this two-day event happen every year. I am so grateful.

My first day to visit Needham was the 4th of July 1965. that was a day to remember and everyone since has been as well. Somehow the weather always cooperates too. Only 1 year when I was on a float did it rain and it was cold too.

There is so much to do and so much to see, great food, amazing parade, a town wide fun Needham event. I have only missed 2 in the last 44 years.

Here is a link for The Exchange Club with some photos.
