Stepping Out


Brenda Bryant


MONOCHROME WEEKEND



STEPPING OUT

Off we go to the Opera House
To enjoy a morning of Coffee and Strauss.
Not quite the girls of the Chorus Line
But, though we be-five, life's still benign!

    portends! Are you in that line up, I wonder.

    This spry quintet may not be in the chorus, although all five look as if they could tap their way through the performance. Elegant ladies enjoying their days, friends together enjoying the arts...

    I'm betting you five would be fun to be with. Hope you enjoyed your Strauss - did you also have some Sacher Torte?
