Woven Worlds

A mother sat and watched her daughter playing
with the other girls, whose parents had also come to watch
the performance. They gathered in clumps, chatting brightly,
awaiting the start. The girls jostled each other,
giggled, and high-fived.

Congratulations on your win, BFF! Nice remembering the days when we ice skated, or dance lessons with our mothers watching us and doing their thing!

I found Suze's contest to be a bit of a pickle, I should have used Armour's Hot Dwags, like you have--always keep'um smilin', that's the ticket--not that lotto, sort of overplayed, methinks. GL Linda, my friend. Aloha, William

That's the word sweet Wiliam, "smilin'". teehee. I love Suzette's contests because they are challenging. I wrote another after this one that is IMHO much better. Maybe not better, just different. aloha dear! :)

I loved ballet performances. We never competed against each other. Our mothers and each other made sure everything was perfect before we got on the stage including hairdos! Nothing ever was amiss. More like we were on the team that played together.. So good luck in the contest you know I don’t participate in those. Even though this one might be a good one for me, I prefer to stay out and have someone like you win))) Your fun friend, Pangie xx You know who I’m watching on TV. Woo Hoo.
