Jane's 8th grade dance

"A Night in Paris" was the dance theme for this years eighth grade class. Jane looked beautiful, despite her self-consciousness in a "fancy" dress. You can probably guess that she said the dance was "hot, loud, boring, crowded and obnoxious." Other than that, she had a good time with her friends.
After her taxi wisked her away, I noticed the sunset from our living room. I thought I would share it with you. It has been unusually hot for this time of year. Even the locals are commenting about how hot it is. Although we have acclamated to this climate for sure, there is just no getting comfortable with this tropical heat. We can't wait to get home for a breath of cooler, dryer air! So let's enjoy being outside together at our pool, the beach or park.

Jane Elizabeth:

A Night in Paris? You looked "Ooh La La!" And might I add that your legs are looking very grown up in those heels. I, too, agree with you and Gretchen about the dance. Administratively speaking, the average eighth grade dance is the equivalent of the world's largest game of tag....

I hope you still found fun in some part of it. It is truly a joy to watch you blossom into a young woman!

Love,
Jewee
