Dancing With My Stars

Back-to-back events left Middle and me with time on our hands, or rather, on our feet as the Mister and Little kicked up their heels at our church’s annual Sweetheart Father-Daughter Dance. 
Little sported a vintage, also known as a hand-me-down, Lilly dress for her night out with Daddy. They started the evening with dinner out and then danced to beach music, the cha-cha slide, YMCA, and Hannah Montana—a school girl’s dream playlist. 
    The following night, Big  and Lovely Girlfriend set out for Big’s senior prom amid April showers that unfortunately turned out to be a relentless downpour.While Big and Lovely were posing for countless pictures, Lovely’s sister and her beau returned from turkey hunting!  I thought the couples made a cute contrast.  And don’t I wish I could look that good after returning home from being in the woods all day!  
After photos, we headed to a neighbor’s house for more pictures and for what was supposed to be dinner in the garden for about 25 seniors and their dates.  The rain prevented the garden setting, but the unflustered hostess and her corps of parents had moved everything inside and it looked as if it were meant to be.   Happy Prom 2010!
