No! But it's Snoball season just the same!
Jill is going to the big SnoBall dance tomorrow. It's a City-wide winter formal here in Salem. It's a pretty big deal.
The girls ask the boys in some extravagant fashion and then the boys pay for everything. Weird system, but it seems to work.
A couple weeks ago I helped Jill ask her boyfriend, Zeke to the dance. It was quite an adventure. Jill's great idea was to get all her friends to drive by Zeke, one at a time, each with a different word written on their cars..
ZEKE, WILL YOU GO TO SNOBALL WITH ME? ♥JILL
It was a great idea... until her friends started dropping out of the plan. Last minute phone calls to several of my dear friends and we managed to get enough cars afterall. I was "Zeke" Jill was "♥Jill". It was great fun. Zeke said yes. My friend Lori drove around with "Me?" on her car for three days. I wonder what people thought?
So now we've been in the last minute preparation frenzy..
- dress? check
- shoes? check
- handbag? check
- jewelry? check
- corsage & boutonniere? check check
Ahh.. to be young again.. here is a photo from MY first winter formal... Don't all laugh at once!
Your daughter is beautiful. Quite a contrast. Kids are so much more sophisticated today than when we were young. But you were lovely as well.
ReplyDelete-- EJA
awww... Thanks so much. I tried to find the photo that had YOU in it.. but I don't know where it is right now.
ReplyDeleteYou got the good-looking one in the photo. You don't need me. I'd just be a distraction.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you go into politics?
ReplyDeleteJust stating facts, ma'am. Loved the photos of your daughter and her beau and the gang. Looks like they had a good time. When our daughter went to her big dance, there were actually pre-established photo ops where the parents could take shots. My missus was there, snapping away. What a difference from our day.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm ... I'm starting to sound like a old fuddy-duddy ...
