"I'll get Una a beautiful necklace. I know she likes necklaces. She has so many of them. She never wears the same one every day." He then saw a sign advertising a beautiful ожерелье on sale. It was fourteen karat gold, and it had a звезда on it. Una was sure to Любовь it! He went to talk to the woman at the front desk. She said, "I'm so sorry. We just sold out."

Una was napping on the диван, мягкий уголок when her mother gently woke her. Mrs. Stratton said, "This package came from Ты today." Una opened the package and said, "Wow! My Избранное chocolates! I have a very thoughtful aunt." She then said, "It's too bad I won't get to enjoy them with Everett on Valentine's Day. I know he's got big plans." Mrs. Stratton said, "Don't worry, dear. I'm sure Ты two can enjoy them after your romantic dinner." Una smiled. "You're right. There's no reason why we can't do that." She then said, "I better pick out something to wear for this special day. I need to look extra beautiful for Everett." Mrs. Stratton smiled. "You're very fond of him, aren't you?" Una said, "Of course I am. I Любовь him." This was very big for her, as this was the first time she had truly been in love.

When Mrs. Stratton managed to pick herself up off the couch, she attempted to get herself together. She needed to find Una. Mrs. Stratton knew that calling the town cops would be a waste of time. After all, Una was eighteen, and even though she left without telling anyone, in their books, it did not count as running away. Mrs. Stratton looked to see if Una's cellphone was gone too. It was. With a heavy sigh, Mrs. Stratton attempted to call her daughter. There was no answer. It went straight to voicemail, which meant that Una had turned off her phone. Mrs. Stratton's сердце sank. Una must've...

Mrs. Stratton woke up early the Далее morning. She had been tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about her fight with Una.
She hadn't meant to upset her daughter. She had only wanted to make sure Una had a stable, secure future, to make sure Una did what was best for herself. Una had ambition and confidence, and Mrs. Stratton admired that. But, Mrs. Stratton thought, Una was too young to see how the real world worked. She still lived with her head in the clouds. Mrs. Stratton couldn't let her daughter reach for something unattainable only to come crashing...

Uncle Bruce was waiting up for Anjanette when she got Главная later that night. "I saw your appearance on TV, Anjanette. Ты did well."
Anjanette blushed with pleasure. It made her feel better to know that one of the many, many people who had seen her up there was her uncle, someone who was rooting for her no matter what. "Thanks, Uncle Bruce. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be."
Uncle Bruce nodded knowingly. "Yes. I know Ты were scared, but Ты came through for your Друзья anyway. I'm proud of you."
Anjanette beamed. "I'm glad it all worked out for them. Now Les and Jimmy can just be friends...

She could hear her Друзья beside her, chatting in low tones, and beyond that, the crowd's cheers and the sounds of A Wave Tossed In the Ocean out on the stage, greeting their live audience.

Living in Colorado

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and as most of Ты know, Paul and I, along with our families, moved to Colorado last week. We have been focused on settling in, so I'm going to discuss how we feel about it.

The air in Colorado is thin, so it took some getting used to. We got slightly sick from not being used to the thin air. Don't worry; it didn't last long. With plenty of rest and fluids, we were back to ourselves within twenty-four hours.

The neighborhood has a great view of the mountains. The Rockies remind me of the Great Smoky Mountains, but they're taller. To put this into perspective, the...

Anjanette and her Друзья had a fabulous time at the A Wave Tossed In the Ocean concert. The tickets Henry had gotten for them were for the very front row. They were close enough to see the band members' faces, and they even saw Jimmy wink at them from his drum set.
A Wave Tossed In the Ocean played a mixture of sixties and seventies rock hits and their own original songs, these last mostly written by Les and Felix (they often announced who wrote the song they were playing or, in the case of covers, what made them decide to include it in their repertoire). The crowd danced and cheered and sang...

Blitz led Anjanette and her Друзья and A Wave Tossed in the Ocean through many twists and turns. Les said, "Oh, my! How long did Venus chase that squirrel?!" Jimmy said, "I don't know. I hope we're close." Just then, Blitz made a sudden stop near a river. Jimmy said, "She must've gotten into the river." Felix then noticed a shape floating in the river. He said, "Look there!" Jimmy gasped. "Oh, my gosh! Venus!" Ferdinand pushed to the front and said, "I'll get her!" He plunged into the river to save her. He held onto her and got her to shore. Mars ran up to his companion.

As Anjanette and her Друзья hurried along towards the sound of the voices, she thought she could see the silhouettes of four men in the distance, and as they got closer, she couldn't help thinking they looked vaguely familiar. But she wasn't sure why she thought that until Tammy gave a loud squeal. "Oh my gosh! It's A Wave Tossed In the Ocean!!!"
Anjanette's eyes grew wide. It really was them... There was Les and Jimmy and Charles and Felix, walking along and calling for someone named Venus while Jimmy held the leash of another dog, a big but friendly-looking one who stopped at Tammy's voice...

She said, "You see, this new band I was talking about, A Wave Tossed in the Ocean, is coming into town soon for a concert.

The older gentleman came into the room backstage. He gave a smile and said, "I enjoyed your performance tonight. It was very refreshing to hear the songs I grew up hearing. It's not very common to find young people interested in that type of music." Les said, "Thank you. Would Ты like an autograph?" The older man laughed. "No, actually, that's not why I'm here. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Henry, and I've always wanted to manage a band. Ты are so good, Ты deserve to be playing еще than just clubs."
