I ran away with the Circus

If you have wondered where I was.  Well, I have been with a bunch of funny people.  The American Clown Academy was this week.  I am just a helper but that means I can spend as much time there as I want.  I was in charge of the pre show that included a meet and greet with everyday heroes and the clowns attending the academy.  I made little autograph books for the children attending to get autographs.  There were around 80 children there, I am guessing.  Lots of adults.  It's a bad timing because school just started.  The show went til 8:30 p.m. Too late for little ones that have school the next day.  The camp is held this week because school is starting.  It's a kids camp.  It will close after our week there.
The faculty and moi don't dress in costume because this is for the students.  I have to add a little color to myself so that when the first guests show up they know they are in the right place.
The show was really great.  Most of my pictures were taken before the actually show.  You can see more on my FaceBook. 
This has been a good week knowing that I could escape the real world if I wanted.  The friendship you make with these campers and faculty is ever lasting.  Although not everyone comes every year but then there are new friendships.
I was surprised with the little makeup I had on that some of the newbies didn't know who I was.
I will head to the camp to say my goodbyes til next year today.  They will all start heading home tomorrow.  Can you believe one of the clowns came from India. 
REAL WORLD
My mom went to the oncologist on Tuesday.  He wants to have a blood test drawn at his hospital on Monday.  I think he wanted a clear picture without steroids and antibiotics of what is going on.  He said he would call with the information the next day.  I think it was a way of giving some hope.  He mentioned chemo but my mom won't do that.  So we will see.  My brother has been with her all week, so she is elated. 
Thanks for all your kind thoughts and prayers.
