Daughter NOT mollified. Here’s another try!

Rebecca all dressed up for the Homecoming Dance at her school on Sept. 25, 2010.

I thought I was ahead of the curve last week when I willed myself into figuring out how the slideshow software worked so I could post the promised pictures of Rebecca.

She liked the effort, she told me, and she liked the result… pretty much.  The first 16 pictures were cool, she said, but why had I picked the one of our photo outing in Ybor City rather than one I’d snapped earlier the same day when she was in the dress she wore to her school’s Homecoming Dance.

Hmmm.  I had to admit she’d raised an excellent point.  She’d looked radiant in her dress, a portrait of the exuberance of youth.  And the picture had come out nicely.

But I’d dumped those shots into a folder with the ones we’d taken later that night and forgot until she mentioned it that it was even there.

So to make amends, here’s a bigger-than-normal picture of Rebecca in her Homecoming dress.

And I’ll make a mental note to search the folder a little more carefully the next time I’m rummaging around for a photo.

    What a lovely photo. I hope you have this one framed on your desk or hanging somewhere.
    I congratulate you. Rebecca is beautiful and smart… says a lot about you.

      Kitty,
      You are SO kind. And yeah, I think this one needs to go in a frame. And thanks so much for reading this!
