The Prom

Well technically it wasn't OUR prom, but the boy friends prom which is almost as important as OUR prom.

The prom was on Friday which of course was a crazy day, but then what day is NOT crazy. M got her hair and make up done. Took forever!!!!!   But she was happy and that is all that counts.

The hair

The dress

The boy friend - Berke

One of the parents had a party/picture taking event at their house. I went with my camera in hand. There were a LOT of people there.

Informal of all girls (some of these were graduating and some were dates)

The girls again

Berke and M

The boys

Oh - just hanging out with a DRINK

Ooops - got to pose. That kid - has to pose whenever she realizes there is a camera around. And she even said it!!!!!

Then she went to give me a hug good bye and spilled her drink all over me and her hand. Hmmmm - blame those heels - more on those tomorrow

Berke and M

And now for the GOOD NEWS. I talked to my Dad about that pesticide. OH - it doesn't work over night. It may take a couple of weeks. OK - let me check. OMG - yes - you can see my pesticide wrapped branch in the background and yes - that sumac is starting to turn yellow. May take a long time - it is only yellowing on the branch that has the chemical. May have to do it on all.

Sumac on the way out??????

And that is it for today - took forever to edit those few pictures this morning. Computer is SLOW SLOW SLOW. And I've got people coming over to work on a raffle quilt so they should be arriving any minute. Good timing!!!!!


Oh before I go - one thing I forgot to mention yesterday. Why do I ride in The Ride to Conquer Cancer - well - as we were leaving camp (in Hamilton) on Sunday morning, there was an elderly lady sitting in a lawn chair. She was by herself on her front lawn. She held a simple sign that said "THANK YOU". That is why I ride!    There were many other people out with signs saying THANK YOU.

Part of the speeches at the beginning of the ride always says - Our sweat is NOTHING compared to their tears". You bet. Anyway - now that I am all teared up  - I'd better go.



Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ciao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
