.....are her family's trash. I'm cleaning out files again and oh, the treasures I'm finding. I was driving out 7th the other day and saw on the marque at Dixie High School that it's Junior Prom time. "Get your date".....it says on the scrolling sign. Memories flooded, not only of my own Junior Prom and the crazy fun time we had decorating the rec hall, dying cheese cloth purple and gold up at Carol Ann's laundromat to string along with crepe paper streamers to lower the ceiling and make it as wonderful and beautiful as we juniors deserved to have.....but to my own sons' agony at having to ask girls out in a clever way......and then, what do I find in my files tonight......
I'm not even talking "clever" here....this is more "real" than I'd like to admit....so, was this sign really posted? I should be wondering if this son of mine (um, I'm thinking Kyle) really did get a date. My memory is failing me right now....but this has really made me smile....and if you'll indulge me a bit.....my Junior Prom picture below. I'm basking in this memory now....if that's o.k. with you, whoever you are.......
....and he just asked me to go, no note, no game.....just a simple question! Aw, the good ol' days. How d'ya like my hair? I did it myself!!!!

Hey, I'm with Joyce... love the look and especially the HAIR! Before I saw Joyce's comment, I said to John, "Oh, boy, look at those blue drapes, do I remember them!" Junior Prom was "Sweetheart Tree?"...no, I can't remember. Oh, yeah, I think "Camelot," right? I think I went with Mike McGregor.I'm so glad we didn't have to make big deals about asking. Ha!
And we thought we were glamorous too! What were we thinking! You look adorable, I think I burned my photos long ago! LOL
