Slick,

What a sweet story. I can just see a woman named Gertrude teaching ballet, somehow it really fits. That's what I think of when I think of the name Gertrude or Gertie...someone/something graceful and beautiful.

Maurice was my grandfather's name. He was very english and I dig that name.

I'll take some more pictures tomorrow. Right now the birdies are enjoying their outside time. Thank goodness it wont be dark until about 8:30 tonight.
