Senior Prom Today

And, I'll miss it!  I don’t have a thing to wear!  There’s a good reason I don't.  Only last night did I learn our Senior Prom is today at three o’clock.   Many outfits in my closet are just fine.  But for such a special occasion, I want the time to choose and be absolutely pleased with everything I wear, including shoes, jewelry, and all accessories.   On this short notice, I'd be a nervous wreck making that decision.  I can't go.

They’re going to have a fun time.  I’m certain of that because each time I’ve attended it has been a great time.  The location is the large social hall of a magnificent church building.  The hosts are handsome young men and lovely young women from certain high schools in the area.  Everyone gives gracious attention to the guests. 

The food will be delicious and plentiful.  Tables will be supplied with salty and sweet snacks and thirst defying drinks.  Salad will precede the succulent entre’ which will be followed with a yummy desert. 

Entertainment?  There will be a ‘floor show', usually singing and dancing by talented individuals and small ensembles, all high school students.  I won't be there.

There is no need for the organizers to widely advertise the event.  It’s a popular no-cost-to-the-guests annual affair.  It’s my fault I didn’t know 2012's date.  I’ve been isolated since I started blogging – didn’t even make it to church on Sunday or Bible Study on Wednesday.  Last night I picked up my telephone and a friend asked if I was going.  No.  Guests will come from the community; definitely a multi-cultural group.  It’s an energetic group, too.  The disc jockey will be thrilled entertaining a crowded dance floor. The music is great for dancing, singing, and to just listen and . . . remember.  Guests are all Senior Citizens.  Last year I knew of one mother and daughter enjoying the party with us.

Our Senior Prom, a service activity organized and carried out by High School Service Organizations, is a wonderful thing.

Surely I'm missing the highlight of my late-winter social calendar.   Drat!
