Ginger's First Date

For a couple of years now, Ginger's best friend Georgia has been bugging Ginger about the double date they were going to go on the moment Ginger turned 16. This has been a point of stress for quite a while--who to go with?!! It was with great relief 3 weeks ago that Ginger announced that she had solved the problem "I'll just go with Alex! He moved back just in time!" [Alex and Ginger were great friends before they even realised that one was a girl and the other was a boy. Four years ago Alex's family was stationed by the Coast Guard in Oregon, and great plans were made for a trip up north or at least constant pen-palling, neither of which ever happened. Luckily, about a month ago, they got stationed back to Alameda, just in time for The Date.] Alex is a very thoughtful and well-mannered young man; both sets of parents fully approve. In case you were wondering the date went very well; they all went to a nice restaurant for dinner, then to a movie, then back to Georgia's house for a birthday cake. Whew, that's over with ...

  • Sorry, I read this a while ago but never commented although I wanted to. Anyway, what a neat way for everything to have turned out. You could say that Alex was a knight in shining armor the way he came along and saved the date! Ginger is blessed indeed to have such wonderful friends.
