Our
holiday weekend started with a trip to Mimi and Papa’s house for a Skype visit
from Lucy. We got to spend 15 minutes with her and it was wonderful. She was so
happy to see each of us. As we moved the laptop camera around to each person,
she would squeal with delight and call out their names.
Unlike
our unlucky friends who had to go boating or fishing or picnicking or to a
baseball game or something dreadful like that, we got to spend 78 hours at the
mall on Monday. Oh boy! It might have been less, but it seemed to make the long
holiday weekend seem much, much longer.
One
of the girls has a school dance coming up, and she has spent the past couple of
weeks worrying about a dress and about who would ask her to go. She turned down
one loser who asked by text message.
At
the end of the night, she had her invitation – a balloon inside a balloon, tied
to our front door. Interestingly, the boy put the surprise on a neighbor’s
house by mistake, but luckily the neighbor knew her name and moved the
invitation to our door. We didn’t settle on a dress, but at last, she had her
prize.
And
the other met up with an old friend….
