Homecoming Dance

Saturday dawned sunny and clear, a wonderful autumn day. Kelly and I dashed over to the salon at noon to have her hair done up, something we've never done before for a dance. (And after I paid the tab we may never do it again! Definitely another item under the heading of "What a racket.") Oh, what big hair you have, my dear!



She had to be verrry careful all afternoon until it was time for the next step .... makeup. This would include the obligatory eye-lash curling and mascara.

And finally the dress which we purchased weeks ago in anticipation of the dance ... voila! The finished product. She hates to smile for posed pictures, hence the very serious face.

When her friends picked her up at 6:30, she almost accidentally smiled as I took their picture! Off to dinner and the dance, and IHOP afterwards. She had a great time and took lots of her own pictures - and she was smiling in all of those - what's up with that?
