We live on one of the main roads in town. I enjoy this tremendously – well… except for the obvious street noise. When we are out in the front yard someone always drives by and beeps. On a warm sunny day, folks will stop on their way by to chat for a moment through the car window. Everyone knows where we live, everyone knows its Ferris’ house. And EVERYONE knows Ferris.
It can be fun to know that most folks in town will be driving by your house. When our PeeWee Pop Warner football team won the State game – we hung the Championship banner on our house; when the daughter graduated high school we hung a banner high up from the second floor windows proclaiming her achievement. Everyone in town got to see them – you can’t do that living on a cul-de-sac.
Tonight is Prom night in our town.
In years past, we would get all excited on this spring Friday night. Grab a cocktail and a rocker on the porch and watch the limos go up and down our street, trying to peek in and see the kids all cleaned up and spiffy. The flurry would only last ½ hour or so. And then we knew they were off on their way… all nervous and smelling pretty – perhaps having a little pre-dinner cocktail themselves.
This year Ferris will be in one of those limos. We will watch them drive by hoping to peek in and see the kids all cleaned up and spiffy.
Thankful for the limo driver while we all enjoy our pre-dinner cocktail.

I was interested in reading the blog, very impressive.
Unfortunately, our children are growing very fast and we cannot do with it nothing.
Today’s children are more developed than we were. They feel bored to play with dolls and toys, they want something new. Parents waste much money for Limousine hire companies for prom night their children cause limos are one of the best way how to attract them and it really works.
Limos for children is becoming more popular today.
Last week I saw 20 little kids in a huge white Hummer limo!! Can you imagine it??
I am 25 years old, and I have never ridden on limos :( How poor I am.
