A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

If you hop on over to Kae’s blog, you’ll see that she’s joined in the May blogging challenge AND given it an official name- MayBloPoMo. Anyone else want to join? It’s not too late! Tonight was the annual high school band banquet. It’s a formal event with food, music, dancing, and awards. My daughter looked so pretty! She wore a blue, short, form fitting dress with silver jewelry and silver high heeled sandals. She painted her nails blue to match the dress. Why, you might ask, am I describing it in such detail? Well- my daughter was upset because she and her boyfriend were going to be late to the banquet, and she yelled at me- quite meanly, I might add- that they were NOT posing for photos. Sigh… it’s been a rough week around here. Don’t worry! I took it upon myself to make an artist’s rendition of her outfit! I know, this is elaborate. I even used mixed media to make the silver elements. I really should draw more, as I clearly have an aptitude for it. In case you’re wondering, my daughter did text me later to apologize. But I was fine either way, because I have these rascals to cheer me up: And then there’s my loyal Muffin. Cats never yell at you! Well, sometimes Muffin hisses, but she doesn’t mean anything by it. If you have a teenage daughter, how is that going? If you WERE a teenage daughter, how did you get along with your parents? Top photo by Gaspar Uhas on Unsplash
