Approved

          The air was filled with the singing of the birds. Spring was here, I walking on air. Harvey had asked me to the spring square dance. The grades eleven and twelfth were putting on a festival. Schools from the neighboring towns were included. I would have to have my mom’s approval for me to go in Hervey's car. Mom hasn't been feeling well. She was going to sew my new shirt and blouse but now that she was ill I didn't know what I would wear. Mom said I may as well learn to pick out a outfit from " The Palace Clothing Store." it's the first time for me to go alone and shop, most of my cloths were made from mom. I found a skirt, white with red apples and green leaves on it. It had a six inch ruffle on it. Perfect for square dancing. I cane across a net under shirt for it to stand out. My  pleasant white eyelet blouse would go just perfect. Now if only mom would approve. I asked the clerk if I could take the blouse and short on approval. She said I had chosen well and yes I could take them home.
