The Ballet Dancer with Big Feet

MARION: My daughter went to ballet when she was in the first grade. She quit after she was married. How old was she? She was 24, I think she was.
And then she went for a year, and then she quit.
She didn't go professional or anything like that, but it was pleasure for her.
She did Swan Lake--- there were so many recitals! I can't remember all the names. She's about 5'7". She has bigger feet than I have!
She got married, has 2 boys. The boys do everything, but not ballet. You name the sport, they're into it!
She is now a dental hygienist!

Visitors from Switzerland

NANCY: My daughter comes to this country 2 weeks from now, with her son & her husband, to visit me. Coming from Switzerland, they live in Switzerland. Near Austria.
She is a dancer. Others come to her to learn to dance. She's a teacher, ballet.
Her husband works in art. Illustrates books. One son, adopted, he is 16, 17 years old now. He is studying agriculture. Coming here to visit me and I love them.
And I'd go to visit them 2 times a year... But in 3, 4, 5 years since I've had this, I haven't gone.
(They) will stay for 2, 3 weeks and then go because they have to go to work.
