Junior Golf
This is a sequel to "Golfing with Mom" and the "Ladies Invitational."
That being said, a quick synopsis reveals that Danny, now living as
Didi will be enrolled in the summer golf program at his/her mother's
country club. Didi's new best friend and neighbor Sandy loves golfing
with her new BFF Didi and can't wait for the golf program to start.
Sandy had enlisted Didi to attend her own soccer camp the week prior.
Sandy was the outstanding soccer player and Didi was more than content
to run circles around the defenders and then pass to Sandy so she
could score the goals.
"Didi, we are going to see Dr. Connor, our gynecologist, next week for
your checkup and to review your hormone levels."
Didi and Sandy had made plans to go to the community pool again.
Sandy, for some sad reason, was fixated on Jason. Didi knew he was a
jerk, but she would never leave her wingwoman. Didi was there through
the bad times (Jason was a dick) and the good times. "Thank god Jason
is gone." When Sandy mentioned how long Didi's nails had gotten, Didi
knew Sandy loved how they looked on her.
Sandy and Didi were scheduled for junior golf with Brooke, the club
pro, tomorrow. Joanne was also starting her first rounds as a nurse
tomorrow at the hospital. Joanne told Didi that she would be starting
her second period tomorrow along to mimic her friend Sandy and to be
prepared. Sandy actually spent the night with Didi in order to share
their period together. As Sandy promised, she told Didi how she felt a
little fatter and unattractive when her period was arriving. Didi
looked at her friend and didn't see the difference and told Sandy she
was just hallucinating, but empathized with her as best she could.
Sandy didn't know what to make of her new BFF. She knew that just a
few short weeks ago, she was golfing with her friends brother, Danny.
Danny was the cute and funny brother and showed her how to golf.
Initially, Sandy loved soccer but had no interest in golf. But Sandy
liked her friend's brother and really took to golf as well. When Sandy
asked Danny to help her golf, she took on a new relevance in Danny's
life. The new feminine Didi was now totally focused on helping Sandy,
regardless of her own hormonal issues. Didi was the new and improved
Danny.
The next day was Monday and that meant Didi and Sandy would be
immersed in the junior golf program. It also meant that Didi's father
John, along with her sisters Kat and Debbie would be back later
tonight from an extended visit to John's parents in Florida. Didi went
to bed early, not just because she would be up early to start in the
junior golf program. She knew that as a girl, she would have to work
harder than ever before to be considered on par with her peers.
Monday was pivotal. Joanne had made it clear to John that she had
conditions that had to be adhered to if he wanted to come home. First,
Joanne made it clear that she knew about John's indiscretions with his
former assistant. She told him that would never, ever happen again.
When she looked him straight in the eye, he knew not to cross her
again. Secondly, to support Didi, John was now wearing girl's panties
under his clothes.
When Kat and Debbie arrived home on Sunday night with their dad, Didi
was in her room. Didi didn't want to hear the inevitable derisive
comments about looking like a girl. The next morning, Didi was up
early to get ready for junior golf. She was surprised at seeing her
sisters in the kitchen. "Didi, Debbie and I are here to support you,"
Kat said. "We like our new sister and will be by your side." Didi
loved the idea of sister support and said, "I love you Kat, and I love
being a daughter to our fantastic mom."
Didi didn't quite understand the seriousness of the situation. Kat and
Debbie were on a very short leash. John was only one transgression
away from him leaving the family for good. When Didi was satisfied
regarding her conversation with Kat, she said they would help each
other. If Kat or Debbie said one thing or gossiped with their friends,
they would be on the next bus back to Florida to be homeschooled by
their grandparents. Because of this, Didi, Sandy, Kat and Debbie
became fast friends.
They all got a surprise when Didi's mom told them that Didi was going
to be moved ahead a grade to join Kat and Sandy's class in school.
There was no chance of Didi presenting as anything other than a young
lady now, and with her maturity, Joanne wanted Didi to also experience
all of the fashion and home economic classes as well. "Didi, you can
now take classes with me and Sandy," Kat added.
Didi was thrilled to be in classes with her BFF and sister and was
looking forward to the challenge of moving ahead one grade. Danny's
former classmates were told that Danny was not coming back to this
school, which was the truth.
Monday morning, Joanne was on her way to work as was John. Carol took
Didi and Sandy, along with Kat and Debbie to the Golden Oaks Country
Club. They were instructed to meet at the practice putting green. They
were all on the practice green putting balls at the little flags. Didi
was showing the other girls how Brooks showed her to putt long putts
with her eyes closed. The other girls were amazed at how they could
get the distance correct with that approach. "Just imagine in your
mind the power that you need to get the ball to the hole."
Brooke Hastings, the golf pro conducting the junior golf program was a
recent graduate from Northwestern University and was trying to qualify
for the Ladies Professional Golf Tour. She was a well trained athlete
and at 5'8" and could hit the ball long. But she needed to develop her
short game to be able to compete with the top female competitors.
Brooke had spotted Didi and Brooke playing in the women's invitational
and felt she could build her junior program around them. Didi was a
free spirit and was a 'grinder' who loved the game. Sandy was more
meticulous in her approach but always wanted to look her best. Kat and
Debbie were just glad to be home and no longer sequestered away in
Florida with their grandparents.
"Didi and Sandy, we've played before but you need to eliminate your
few bad shots to move ahead." Brooke knew these two had the potential
to play in college. "Thanks, Brooke," Didi responded. "Can you help us
get more length on our drives?"
Brooke explained the program. They had 5 weeks before the end of the
summer and would be entering four local tournaments. These golf
tournaments were played at some of best private clubs in the Midwest.
Two were relatively close and two were in nearby states. At the end of
the program there would be a playoff for the best players. Didi was 10
years old, Kat and Sandy were 11 and Debbie was 12. They were all
placed in the 'under 13' bracket for the girls. Besides Sandy, Kat,
Debbie and Didi, there were 4 more girls and 8 boys.
"Didi and Sandy will play in the first group," Brooke stated. "You two
will need to set the tone for the tournament. Other teams will think
they are going to blow us away before they see you play."
The first tournament would be the following Monday at the famous
Westside CC South Course. Brooke said the group had a lot of work to
do before that. She went through all of the basics of grip, setup,
swing, and follow through and then putting. Most of the other kids
knew the basics, but there were several advanced players as well. Kat
and Debbie surprised everyone. They must have been listening when Didi
was getting instruction from her parents because they did quite well
right from the start.
Didi and Sandy had asked Brooke to help them with their length off the
tee. "Didi, you are as long as anyone, but I think I can help with
your upper body rotation. We need to focus on getting your breast
rotation around the ball at a faster rate." She showed Sandy and Didi
to keep their breasts rotating around the ball and through the follow
through.
The next Morning, Kat and Debbie went with Sandy to the golf course
while Didi and her mom went to the doctors office. Joanne's
gynecologist was a good friend and knew what to expect when she saw
the new Didi. After Nurse Chappel took them back to an examination
room, she took three vials of blood from Didi. "Didi, I also need a
urine sample. Take this cup into the restroom and leave it with top on
after you leave the sample."
Afterwards she took Didi's blood pressure and temperature and noted
those on her chart. She asked Didi to undress and put on the gown.
Joanne stayed the room and Didi felt secure knowing her mom was there.
Dr. Andrea Brenner came in and greeted Joanne, then came over and
asked Didi how she was feeling. "I feel fine Dr. Andrea. I feel more
'like a girl' everyday but I don't know if that's just my imagination.
I am concerned about my lack of breasts, like my sisters and best
friend. When are my breasts going to start growing?"
"Actually Didi, I think you probably are thinking and feeling more
'like a girl' everyday. Your blood work reveals higher than normal
estrogen levels and next to nothing testosterone. So the blocker shot
we gave you is working and for some reason your estrogen has spiked.
Have you been taking anything else? You should start your puberty
cycle soon."
"No Dr. Andrea. I am only taking my one 'girl pill' everyday with
Mom."
"Well your 'girl pill' or birth control pill will help you develop
like your sisters and friend. But I need you to stop taking those
pills, I don't think that particular medication is the best course of
action for you. I will prescribe an estrogen hormone better suited to
your body. The testosterone blocker shot we gave you previously has
eliminated almost all of your boy hormones. Now climb up on the chair
and put your feet in the stirrups."
Didi proceeded to have a thorough, yet dignified exam. Dr. Andrea
examined Didi's breasts and upon hearing Didi's complaints of soreness
and itchiness, declared that Didi's wait for the boob fairy will soon
be coming to an end. Didi was in peak physical condition and was well
on her way to womanhood. "Dr. Andrea, what else can I expect?
On Wednesday, after about an hour and a half of instruction, Brooke
said they would be split up into 4 groups and play nine holes. She
told everyone to keep score and follow all of the rules. Brooke
herself played with Didi and her friends. There was also an assistant
golf pro in each group to help and teach.
Didi was relieved to just interact normally with her sisters. She was
still a little fearful that her sisters would turn on her as soon as
they had a chance, but her fears were groundless from the very first
day. Didi shot a 41, with several long putts, while Sandy shot a 47
and Kat and Debbie both shot a 49. Brooke was very supportive to all
of them and pointed out parts of their game each could work on. When
the whole group reassembled back in the clubhouse, the posted scores
showed that two of the boys had tied Didi with 41's. Most of the
others were in the mid to high 40's, with a couple in the 50's. Brooke
had told everyone that they could use the pool after golf and Didi and
her friends were looking forward to cooling off.
The girls made their way to the women's locker room and changed into
their bathing suits. When they emerged from the individual changing
rooms, Kat and Debbie were amazed at how good Didi looked in her one
piece v-neck baby-blue ruched swimsuit. Didi and Sandy had almost
identical bodies even though Sandy was about 9 months older and a
genetic girl. Sandy's new bikini nicely showed off her newly
developing curves. Didi was a little hesitant to show off her figure,
but Sandy told her that they were still BFF's and total babes.
The club had a large outdoor pool and there were many women and
children there. The girls all found loungers to lay on and met another
girl in the group, Teri. Teri was Debbie's age, 12 but they went to
different schools. All eight of the boys were at the pool, but stayed
away from the girls. The girls went into the pool to cool off, but
spent most of their time working on their tans. Sandy and Kat were
talking about the boys and said that two of the boys in the group were
in their same grade at school. Greg and Tom kept looking over to the
girls and when they finally met eyes with Sandy and Kat, they
exchanged waves. Soon after, Greg and Tom and the rest of the boys
moved over near the girls.
"Sandy, what should we do with all of these boys around here? Didi
asked nervously." "That's easy, we make them our slaves for the
afternoon haha." Sandy then said rather loudly to Didi, "I'm hungry,
we should get a pizza." In a flash, both Tom and Greg jumped up and
said they were getting a pizza and they would share. The other boys
said they would share too. After all the boys headed over to the
concession stand, the girls were laughing. Didi stood there
bewildered. How did that just happen? Sandy and Kat were tickling Didi
and said to "watch and learn, little sister."
Didi was wondering what the next lesson would be when Kat and Sandy
got up and made a slow, sexy walk around the pool, laughing and
giggling as they took in the crowd. In the meantime, Tom and Greg
returned with the pizza and asked Didi if she wanted a slice which
both were too eager to get for her.
Didi was getting more attention than she wanted because of her posted
golf score. Tom and Greg were skeptical of Didi's score but wanted to
find out more about this young, but well-toned beauty. Tom asked,
"Didi, where did you learn to play golf so well?" "From my mom, of
course, Didi replied. She's by far the best golfer around. But our
pro, Brooke, thinks that my putting is the key to winning. She has
been helping me a lot and I didn't have a three-put all day. Maybe she
could help you too."
Didi and Sandy were having a great time with the start of junior golf
at the country club. Brooke knew that if Didi and /or Sandy had an
outstanding season, everyone benefitted. Brooke had been working hard
on her short game and the lessons she was giving the girls were also
reinforcing her practice into her muscle memory. Brooke's short game
had improved significantly over the past month. Didi and Sandy and
possibly Deb and Kat also stood an excellent chance for a college
scholarship if they continued to improve.
Didi's two sisters had a good showing and Brooke wanted the girls to
become the nucleus of her team. Brooke was amused by Didi's girly-girl
approach. Brooke was more of a no-nonsense woman golfer but was
unfortunately bypassed by several sponsors who were looking for a more
feminine spokeswoman for their line of clothing. Brooke had a
brilliant mind and knew she needed to change her image to appeal to a
wider range of both men and women. Brooke chuckled at the thought of
trying to emulate a 12 year old girls' style.
Didi was the most girly-girl on the team and Brooke wanted to make
sure Didi was on the radar of both college coaches as well as the
professional agents. Didi the best golfer on Brooke's team even though
she was only 11. The junior golf season was relatively short, only
lasting six weeks. Brooke wanted to focus on the tournaments and ran
her daily sessions to mirror those. In the morning, the golfers would
work on their ball striking and putting and in the afternoon they
would have short 3 hole matches with each other to emphasize the
mental aspects of the game.
The first afternoon, Didi was paired with Tom and Sandy with Greg in
the first foursome. Tom and Greg immediately started to give the girls
a hard time. "You need to learn from us boys if you want to have a
chance," Tom bragged. Greg added, "You girls make a nice diversion for
us, but don't have a chance to beat us."
"Sandy winked at her BFF Didi and said to the boys, "You big boys are
amazing but maybe we could have a friendly bet to keep things
interesting?" Tom responded quickly and said, "how about if we bet on
an ice cream after the round?" Didi responded, "We're only girls, so
you'll need to give us some incentive." Greg challenged them, "We will
play three holes and you girls tee of from the women's tees while we
tee off from the white tees. Whichever team wins will pay for the ice
cream." Didi replied, "If we can beat you big boys, we will take the
ice cream, but you will need to also wear skirts like we do for golf
tomorrow. If you win, we will do the same."
Tom and Greg knew that the girls were pretty good, but since the boys
were older and stronger they took the bet without a second thought.
Brooke had a big smirk on her face, knowing that Greg and Tom would
need to do their very best to beat these spunky girls.
Didi pulled Sandy aside and made some quiet comments to Sandy. Then
the two of them pulled out their lipsticks and proceeded to coat their
ruby red lips before teeing off. They wanted to distract the boys
attention from the game. Didi knew that the boys would be easily
distracted and wanted her BFF Sandy to take the feminine lead. Sandy
teed up her ball and hit it right down the middle of the long par 4.
Didi followed up with a long draw that resulted in a drive that passed
Sandy and ended up on the left side of the fairway, setting up for a
great shot angle to the green.
Tom and Greg took a big gulp as they now knew why Sandy and Didi were
very good women golfers and certainly didn't want to lose the bet. Tom
teed off first and hit a good drive, just a little bit behind Sandy.
Didi gave Tom a backhanded compliment, saying that he was nearly as
long as Sandy. Greg had a little smirk on his face as he put his ball
on the tee. Unfortunately, because of the pressure of the match, Greg
was now gripping the club much too tightly and it resulted in him
hitting a big sweeping slice that landed to the right of the fairway
and took a big bounce toward the out of bounds stakes. "You should hit
a 'provisional ball' Greg, in case we can't find your first ball,"
suggested Didi. His second ball hit the fairway a little behind
Sandy's ball.
The boys now knew that Didi and Sandy were serious about winning.
After searching for five minutes for Greg's first ball, they declared
it lost and Greg now was hitting his third shot. Greg hit his shot
just short of the green, then Tom hit a low liner that ended up in the
trap in front of the green. Sandy was up next and hit her shot onto
the front of the green, about 15' below the pin. Didi and Sandy walked
up to Didi's ball and Sandy said, Didi, you need a good shot to shut
these boys up. Didi thought it was ironic that she (although born as a
boy) was now shooting to give Tom and Greg notice to respect the
girls. Didi had a 100 yard shot that was perfect for her pitching
wedge. When she hit the ball, she starting shouting for it to 'get
down' because she hit it so well. Didi's ball sailed right over the
flagstick but then backed up a little, finally resting only 8' beyond
the pin.
"Good shot Didi," congratulated a thoroughly intimidated Tom and Greg.
As they walked to the green, Sandy had a big grin on her face and
said, "Didi, if we sink these two balls, the boys are going to be in
big trouble." Didi had a fire in her eyes and was measuring up her
putt as they walked up to the green. Sandy's putt was directly uphill
without much break at all while Didi's was just the opposite. She was
looking at a slick downhill putt.
Tom's bunker shot was decent, but he missed the putt for a 5. Greg
chipped on and then hit a decent putt that ended up just short and
tapped in for a double bogey 6. Sandy rammed her putt into the back of
the cup, eventually finding the bottom of the hole for a birdie. Didi
followed with just a slight tap that got her ball rolling slowly but
steadily downhill before finally it just tipped in over the edge and
gave the girls a five up edge after only one hole.
As they walked to the second tee, Sandy said in a loud voice, "I think
it would be ok if the boys wore skorts tomorrow, don't you Didi?" "Of
course Sandy, I wouldn't want them to be uncomfortable." They boys
were feeling more than just a bit uncomfortable being behind but
thought the girls were lucky and felt they would soon overtake them.
Sandy teed off first on the next hole, a challenging part 3 at 165
yards. Sandy hit a solid 3 wood over the green to the back fringe. The
boys were getting more nervous as Didi selected her hybrid to tee off.
Didi knew that this was a key shot in their match. She knew that her
hybrid was the right club for the distance but was feeling the
pressure to put it on the green. Didi took a deep breath, waggled
twice and then sent a high arcing shot toward the pin. Her ball again
flew right over the flag and ended up only 10' behind the pin.
Greg and Tom were standing off to the side of the tee box and were
mumbling to each other watching as the girls hit their shots stiff to
the hole. Greg was first to hit and barely hit the top half of the
ball and sent a low screamer that hit short of the green then bounded
over the back into a deep sand trap. The pressure was now squarely on
Tom. He summoned every ounce of courage and hit his ball squarely and
ended up just outside of Didi's at 15'. "Great shot, Tom" Sandy said.
Didi and Sandy were chatting and giggling as they walked towards the
green. Tom and Greg knew they were in a heap of trouble if they didn't
do well on this hole.
Greg's bunker shot was a good one, but he pulled his par putt and
ended up with a bogey. Tom calmly stepped up and sunk his birdie putt,
and he ended up with a big whoop. Sandy's putt was just short of the
cup, which she tapped in for a par. Didi stepped up and calmly sank
her putt for her second birdie in a row. Didi and Sandy were now 6 up
with one hole to play. The third hole was a long dogleg left par 5.
The boys still held out hope that they had an outside chance to pull
even if they both played well.
Sandy was now starting to get a warm and fuzzy feeling about Greg and
told Didi that they should back off on their bet. Didi knew the boys
would never agree to wearing skorts on the course anyway so she
suggested that the boys could instead carry their clubs the next day
if they lost. Sandy thought that was a great idea and told the boys
their suggestion. The boys knew they had virtually no chance and
jumped at this option. The third hole ended up with all four posting
pars and they all had a good time. Didi and Sandy didn't see any
reason to rub in their win, so they just told Brooke the scores.
Brooke had a big grin on her face realizing her two best girls had
just ended up below par for the three holes. The girls told Brooke
about some of the best shots of the boys, so the boys felt relieved
even though they had been soundly beaten by two junior girls.
Didi and Sandy and Deb and Kat ate together in the clubhouse after
they finished. Deb and Kat also played well and they talked nonstop
about their playing partners Robert and Joseph. Didi and Sandy were
giggling as told about their bet and how they let the boys off. They
all then conspired to wear skorts and crop tops tomorrow to intimidate
the boys. Sandy said they needed to think about their naval piercings
in order to get started.
As Didi and her sisters got dropped off by Carol, she told Sandy she
would talk later about tomorrow. Didi, Deb, and Kat entered their
house talking about the day as their mom listened closely. Joanne
wanted to make sure there was no issue with Didi presenting as the
young lady she was becoming. Joanne was impressed at all the girls
scores for the day and wanted to talk to Didi further. Deb and Kat
went upstairs to change while Didi recounted her day.
"Mom, Sandy and I played great today," as she recounted the afternoon.
"But now Sandy is starting to like Greg. I sometimes feel a little
weird around her. I think of her as more than a friend." "You are
BFF's Didi. That is much more than a friend. Sandy is depending on
you."
Joanne had to laugh at the way Didi set the boys up and then let them
off the hook at the end. She asked Didi if she offered the deal
because she liked one of the boys. Didi scrunched up her face and
said, "Ewww". Didi had a crush on her friend Sandy but wondered if it
was strange about liking another girl. She definitely did not like
either of the boys, but was entranced by the power she had over them.
Joanne asked Didi if she still liked golfing with her long nails.
"Mom, I know it seems weird for me to like these long nails, but I've
really got attached to them. Please don't ask me to cut them short!"
Joanne assured Didi that wasn't going to happen. She asked Didi how
she felt about competing with the boys. Did Didi feel she should be
one of the boys? "No mom, I like being Didi. Is that bad? I'd like to
be Didi forever, I love being your daughter. You are the role model I
aspire to be. Am I doing something wrong?"
"No Didi, I am very happy to be your role model. I just want to make
sure you are happy"
"Mom, can I ask you a personal question?" Joanne felt like the
conversation had just gotten more mature. "When will my breasts look
like yours? I feel just a little inadequate around my sisters and
friend Sandy. Should I even be thinking about my breasts?"
"Didi, all young girls want their breasts to grow faster and bigger.
But your personality and your friendships with your sisters and
friends are more important than the size of your breasts. Does that
make sense to you?"
"Of course Mom. But I want to fit in with my girlfriends. I don't want
to be the ugly duckling."
"I have an idea for you Didi. Let's go shopping tomorrow after golf."
Joanne was now clearly in charge of the household. John went to work
and followed Jo's directions. He knew he was on a knife's edge, but
desperately wanted to stay married to Jo. He was now fully helping out
with dinner, keeping the house clean and taking care of the girls. And
because Jo wanted him to treat Danny as Didi, he was more than willing
to do that.
Debbie and Kat just loved their new sister Didi. Danny was an ok
brother, but Didi was a special sister and they had extra incentive to
protect her. Even with the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads,
they had come to like and eventually love their new little sister.
Didi also loved her new image. Danny had been 'accepted' before, but
'Didi' was an exceptional girl. Her mom had even taken time to tell
her about her menses cycles while Sandy was sharing her emotions with
Didi to help her empathize. Jo told Didi that since Sandy was now due
for her 'monthly visitor', she also needed to be prepared. Jo gave
Didi her monthly pads and showed her how to use tampons to be self
sufficient.
Didi asked Sandy the next morning, "Are we now on the same cycle,
BFF?" Sandy was proud that her new BFF wanted to know details of her
monthly visitor, and felt closer to her knowing they shared such an
intimate issue. "Of course we are Didi, are you having any problems
with your pads or tampons?" "No, but I want to be just like you Sandy!
I think I might be feeling 'bloated' too."
When Sandy first started playing with Danny, she thought he was the
fun brother of her girlfriend Kat. Now that Danny had become Didi, she
didn't know what to think. She liked her new BFF but wondered if that
was as a girlfriend or a 'girlfriend'. Danny was a fun loving boy who
happened to be exactly the same size as her. But Didi was also the
best girlfriend she had ever had. Didi was non-judgmental and wanted
the best for Sandy. When Didi volunteered to be Sandy's 'wingman' at a
formal banquet, Sandy felt a close bonding with 'her' but was it more
than a sisterly feeling? Didi didn't have a second thought about her
'wingman' status, she loved her BFF and would do whatever was
necessary to keep her safe.
Joanne was settling into her role as matriarch of the family. John was
accepting his place and the girls Kat and Debbie were repentant about
leaving Joanne's direct supervision. But Jo felt a special bond with
Didi. Even though Didi was not a cis girl, she was the most girly
daughter she had. Jo knew that Didi still felt anxious about being her
daughter. But Didi was feeling more comfortable every day as Joanne's
daughter and just wanted to emulate her mother. Now that Didi was
taking testosterone blockers as well as female hormones, she didn't
have a second thought about being a girl. Didi was looking forward to
school as well as learning more from her mother.
The next Friday would be the first junior golf tournament and Brooke
was convinced that her girls would lead the way. When Tom and Greg
offered to carry Didi and Sandy's golf clubs for their last practice
three holes, Brooke had to hide a big smile on her face. She knew the
terms of the previous days bet, but chose to publicly applaud the
boy's chivalrous offer of carrying the girl's clubs. There was no
'bravado' when they teed off, and Didi's drive showed how confident
she was. The match that day ended in a tie. Brooke had another putting
session for Didi and Sandy that Tom and Greg asked if they could tag
along for. Brooke winked at Didi and Sandy and then told Tom and Greg
this session was for girls but if they would behave, they could join
in.
Didi was getting her masters degree in feminine wiles from Sandy, Kat
and Brooke and took to it like a fish to water. The tournament was
going to be played at the world famous course in the upscale part of
town and Sandy and Didi wanted to look the part. Joanne and Carol
picked up the girls after practice on Thursday and they headed to the
newest Jordan Rack in town.
Sandy pulled Didi along to the juniors department. Even though they
hadn't 'grown' into the womanly shapes they wanted yet, Sandy said
they needed to have the right outfits for tomorrow. Not only did Sandy
find coordinating tops and bottoms for the two BFF's, she found two
end of season bikini's that the mothers thought were a little too
risqu? for the young girls. But Sandy and Didi prevailed and the next
day, they were among the best looking girls on the course. What they
had waiting for the pool party afterwards was going to be a game
changer for the two 'girls'.
Sandy and Didi were matched with the two best girls from Westside CC.
While Sandy and Didi had never played a championship course before,
Brooke assured them they would prevail if they just played it one shot
at a time. Sandy had convinced Didi that they needed to up their game
for this match. They arranged to have a sleepover and after waking,
Sandy showed Didi how to do a thorough daytime make-up application on
their faces. Didi was also glad that Sandy insisted on new outfits
when she saw their opponents dressed in very high end golf attire.
Susan and Mary were very polite and welcomed them to their course.
They were accustomed to having high end outfits for the match. Susan
and Mary expected to wipe the course with their opponents from the
'other side' of town, but they were in for a huge surprise.
Brooke had told Didi and Sandy about her first college tournament. She
played as a freshman at the championship course West Acres. She told
the girls how intimidated she felt teeing off in front of everyone.
She told the girls the only thing she thought about on the first tee
was hitting the ball 'easy' and giving it her best follow through.
Didi and Sandy won the toss with Susan and Mary and therefore were
first to tee off. Didi volunteered to go first and Sandy was relieved.
The past two weeks had been a revelation for Didi. It was just over
two months ago when her dad and sisters left for Florida. Danny
quickly became the former son but now the best daughter that Joanne
could ever imagine and she was proud of her new Didi persona. For her
part, Didi was loving her transition from Danny to Didi. Danny was a
fun loving boy, but Didi now had a best BFF Sandy and a deeper
relationship with her mother than she ever imagined possible. Didi was
now taking her 'girl' vitamins every day and was for all practical
purposes, the exact same body type as Sandy. When Didi and her sisters
Kat and Debbie talked, it was only as three sisters. As they were
preparing to enter school, it was also as three teenage girls.
At the first tee, Didi and Sandy were a little in awe of the
surroundings. Even though Brooke had prepared them, they felt like
they were at an LPGA event, rather than a nearby country club. Didi
teed up her ball on the first hole, a long par 5. She hit a solid
drive down the right side of the fairway, but came away disappointed
that she couldn't really focus like she wanted to. Sandy felt the
pressure dissipate as Didi teed off and the lack of pressure enabled
her to hit her ball down the middle even with Didi. The girls tee
shots would set the tone for the day as they took their opponents
Susan and Mary by surprise. Didi and Sandy quickly settled down to
shoot a 41 and 45 and easily beat their opponents. Brooke was ecstatic
at her proteges prevailing over their more experienced foes in their
very first competition.
After the match was over Brooke drove her team back to the Broomfield
CC for a well deserved relaxing dip in the hot tub and pool. Sandy and
Didi were giggling the whole way because of their new exotic bikinis.
Brooke congratulated the team on their individual results as well as
the overall team win. When Sandy and Didi emerged in their grown up
bikinis, Brooke had to chuckle as she watched Tom and Greg and the
other boys gawking in amazement.
Sandy once again took the initiative to flirt with the boys that now
were surrounding the two girls. She had boys running around for snacks
and drinks and kept Didi thoroughly amused. When Sandy suggested they
cool off in the pool, the throng of boys followed. They boys were
jumping off the diving board, doing flips and dives to try to impress
the girls.
Brooke was excited about Didi and Sandy's amazing showing and wanted
to keep working with them on their short game every day for the short
time they had. Didi had made sure that Kat and Deb were included and
they all bonded at the fun they were having.
It wasn't long after Kat and Deb were home before Kat had her monthly
visitor. Didi could sense there was a difference and asked Kat if they
could talk. "Didi, I love you like a sister but I have an issue you
don't have to worry about." "Do you mean Aunt Flo? Sandy and I are on
the same cycle now, but I can help if you need anything." Kat was
amazed that her former brother / now sister was so familiar with her
period and felt that Didi was becoming an amazing sister. Didi offered
to help Kat with any feminine issues she had.
Brooke was practically gushing when she recounted Didi's golf game
with Joanne. Didi was the 'perfect' daughter that Joanne coveted and
loved. Brooke had a teammate at Northwestern that reminded her of Didi
and she felt a close kinship with her. Joanne had such a strong
feelings about Didi like she hadn't felt before with her other
daughters. She wondered if there was any of Danny left behind. She
knew Danny would never be jealous of Didi, more of a completion of
their personalities. Didi was feeling more comfortable handing with
her sisters and friend.
After the first tournament, Didi was sitting in her mother's bedroom,
asking her about her best friend. Didi loved being with Sandy, but she
didn't know if it was friendship or love. She wasn't concerned either
way, but just wanted some clarification of her feelings. Since Didi
had started her testosterone blockers and estrogen pills, she was even
more empathetic. "Mother, do you think I could have done better
today?" Joanne knew that Didi was extremely talented athletically, but
as a girl, very concerned about her self-image. Didi was a growing
teen girl and Joanne wanted her to become more self confident.
"Didi, you couldn't have made me prouder today. This was your first
tournament and you had your best friend Sandy with you. I know it was
a little overwhelming but I was secretly watching you tee off on the
first tee and I couldn't believe how composed you were. I think I
would have completely whiffed under that pressure. You made it that
much easier for your BFF Sandy to step up and hit a great shot, too.
Didi, I just love you. Even if you revert back to Danny, I'll never
forget these days together."
"Mom, would you be disappointed if Danny never came back? I feel like
I am Didi, but I don't want to disappoint you. I love you and want to
be just like you. Can I do that? I don't know what Dad thinks, but Kat
and Deb are very supportive. I just don't know how I could ever again
be 'just Danny'".
Joanne had some advice for Didi. "Didi, since your Dad had his little
adventure with his secretary, I have seen my role in our family
change. I want to help you feel empowered to be the best girl you can
be. Your sisters, along with Sandy love Didi and they don't feel the
need to see Danny again either. Midge was with me while we watched you
and Sandy tee off also. She asked me if you two wanted to keep working
part-time for her."
"I'd love to Mom! But I don't have a lot of time. Do you think she
would be flexible with me?"
"You can ask her yourself tomorrow. We are having a girls day along
with your sisters and Sandy and Carol. You start school in two weeks
and it's important for you to look your best."
"Mom, what else can you tell me about being a girl that I need to
know? I've had two older sisters but this is all new to me. I don't
want to make mistakes."
"Didi, I love you, my sweet little girl. Ever since you appeared as
Elsa in your princess dress you have been my special girl. I love the
fact that we do everything together. You are my favorite golf partner
and together we just won the club championship! You've learned to cook
and sew and how to keep a household running smoothly. You have a best
friend and a family that adores you. I'll help you with anything you
need but you are going to be exploring new frontiers. You are becoming
a strong, independent woman Didi and you will mark your own way. What
else do woman do that I can help you with?" I know that you are an
amazing young lady.
Didi was laser focused at the next tournament, which took place in
nearby Illinois. After a four and a half hour bus ride, Brooke led the
team onto the historical grounds of Butler National. Brooke had played
several tournaments here while attending nearby Northwestern and her
favorite tournament memory was finishing in the top ten in an LPGA
event here.
This was the only regional qualifier for the US Amateur event so they
would be playing 18 holes today. Because of the size of the field,
Didi and Sandy would be playing together. Brooke was walking with
their group and the other adults were with the others. This course was
quite a bit longer than Didi and Sandy were used to playing. Because
it was a US Am qualifier, they were using the white tees and nearly
6300 yards. Brooke was hopeful that her group had a good showing
today.
Didi had a determined look on her face as they got off the bus. Her
mom had given her quite a lot to think about before leaving today. She
told Didi, that she would be proud of her regardless of the outcome
knowing that Didi would do her best.
Brooke got the pairings and all of the golfers were prepared on time
for their tee offs. This tournament had qualifying restrictions to get
in, so Brooke had Didi and Sandy and Deb and Kat qualified for the
girls, but only Greg and Tom from the boys. The boys teed off first so
all the girls were cheering them on the first tee. Didi told Tom to
'hit it easy but follow through hard' for his first shot. Tom smashed
it down the middle and turned and gave Didi a wink before setting off.
Didi didn't know what to think of that wink, she was just giving him
some friendly advice.
Didi and Sandy were in the last group to tee-off because of their low
scores. Didi hit a solid first tee shot on the relatively short par 4
and watched with Brooke as Sandy hit another great shot. The coaches
weren't allowed to give any help on the course and it was just as well
because it would have just made the golfers more nervous. Didi hit a
high arcing 6 iron to the green and two putted for her par. And she
gave a big sigh of relief to get started so well. Didi actually
birdied the next hole, a par 5 and then had a string of bogey-par-par-
par-birdie before she came to the 147 yard par 3 eight hole. Didi and
Sandy were teeing off last and saw the other two girls all come up
short. Didi realized that the green was higher than the tee box and
went back to get a longer club. Didi hit her 5 iron onto the elevated
left side of the green and then watched it trickle down to within 3
feet of the pin. Sandy hit her hybrid to the back of the green and
safely two putted for her par. After that, Didi tapped in for her
birdie. Didi gained two strokes on her playing partners and now led by
two strokes. Didi was the only one in her group to par the difficult
par 4 ninth hole and still led by two at the turn.
Brooke was trying to contain her excitement to make sure Didi wasn't
freaking out but she thought to herself 'even par after the first nine
at Butler National for a 10 year old girl'? Didi had a big grin on her
face as she told Brooke she thought she could do better. "But I loved
that shot on eight, how about you?" At that point Brooke was thinking
maybe she should just become an agent with Didi as her first client.
Brooke was giving regular text updates to Joanne and Midge and the
three of them were amazed watching this unfold. Didi would turn 11
this coming week and was competing and beating girls over four years
older than her.
Didi had one bad hole on the second nine and ended up with a 74 and
took econd place for medalist. All of the girls did well with Sandy,
Kat and Deb all shooting 87's. Greg and Tom also did well with an 82
and an 85. The bus ride back was great after stopping at Red Lobster.
The next Monday school started and Didi was more than a little
nervous. She didn't know if she would be recognized as Danny and
hesitant about going. Joanne had done her due diligence. She had
Danny's name and birth certificate changed to Didi. She then had a
letter from Dr. Andrea Brenner on file with the school and had met
with Principal Beulah to ensure Didi's confidentiality. The rest was
up to Didi, but Joanne was laying the groundwork.
After homeroom with Sandy, Didi headed off to her social studies
class with Ms. Kosigen. All of the teachers were apprised of Didi's
situation and promised to be supportive. Ms. Kosigen called on Didi
once during the hour and wasn't disappointed. Didi acquired two new
girlfriends immediately and left for her next class, Design 101. One
of her new friends, Elaine, sat next to her as they listened to Mrs.
Esecre describe the fashion industry in general and Milan in
particular. Elaine was astonished that this little wisp of a girl
already knew how to sew. The school supplied the class with a half
dozen Singer 4423's, the same machine that her mom had! Their first
assignment was to make a skirt for their partners. Didi knew exactly
what type of skirt she wanted to make for her curvy new friend,
Elaine.
When Mrs. Esecre came around to their station, Didi had sketched out
the design she wanted to make. She proposed a crimson pleated skirt
that fell to mid thigh. The pleats would have black lace inserts to
make the skirt very sexy looking. Mrs. Esecre asked Didi where she had
seen this pattern before. Didi said it was her own design, but she had
thought about this design when she had sewn her skirt for Elaine.
After Mrs. Esecre found out that Didi had been sewing all summer with
the same machine and looking at some of Didi's designs, she knew this
smart young girl had real potential.
When all of the girls met for lunch, they were talking a mile a minute
about their classes and of course, the boys. Didi wasn't interested in
the boy talk, but loved her classes, especially with Mrs. Esecre. The
afternoon was uneventful until they eventually left for their bus. One
of the boys on the bus kept looking at Didi but she didn't recognize
him. Joanne listed intently as all her girls talked about their first
day. Didi was as happy as she had ever been. She told her momma about
the design class and the skirt she had designed for her new friend
Elaine. Didi also gave her a letter from Mrs. Esecre asking for a
meeting with Didi's mom. Didi asked her mom about the boy on the bus,
Stephen. She didn't know him, but he kept looking at her.
"Didi, you are a beautiful young woman and you are going to get the
attention of many boys. You need to learn how to fend off the boys.
There are going to be quite a few in your future." After school, the
girls went to the country club to work on their short game for two
hours with Brooke, then they headed home for dinner. After dinner,
they had a study session to stay ahead of their homework.
On Tuesday, Didi and Sandy decided they would wear their black skirts
and white blouses with white bras underneath. Didi loved wearing her
2" wedge sandals and they met the dress code requirement too. In their
homeroom, Didi and Sandy suddenly had two boys sitting near them.
Denny leaned in and asked if they needed any help with their homework.
Didi asked him if he could help her sew a skirt? Denny gave her a
funny look and retreated to the other side of the room. Didi looked at
Sandy and asked her how boys can be so 'tupid'?
After school the girls headed over to the Country Club for another
lesson with Brooke. Tom and Greg tagged along. Didi asked if they
needed to change into their skorts for the lesson. Haha said Greg, "I
don't think our legs are good enough to wear skorts"..
Didi was working at the Beauty Emporium two nights a week and on
Saturday and was loving the work. She was watching closely how the
stylists cut hair and nails as well as washing hair. It wasn't a
coincidence that Midge's business picked up dramatically when Didi
was working there. She greeted customers, cleaned up the stations and
occasionally washed hair. Her stylist Gigi had Didi had her help
pumping her breasts to fill several bottles for her baby. But Didi was
also getting a first hand experience with breast pumps and the
experience was pulling her little nipples into beaming headlights.
After work on Wednesday, Didi asked her mom for some advice. "Mom, are
my breasts going to develop like yours? Joanne had Didi take off her
top and bra. "Didi, your areola and nipples look just like mine, what
are you doing? "Gigi is letting me use her breast pump. It feels
wonderful, and my breasts are getting very sensitive."
"Didi, now that you are getting your womanly breasts, we need to find
new bras for you. It looks like your nipples are enlarging like your
girlfriends.
Didi wondered how large she wanted her breasts. Her mother was a C cup
but her sisters weren't that big yet. Didi decided she wanted to have
large breasts just like her mother. The next day Didi decided to shake
things up and found her leather miniskirt paired with a cold shoulder
black top. Didi had gotten up an hour early in order to do her makeup
and hair perfectly. When she came down for breakfast, Kat and Debbie
decided to go change their clothes to match their sister. Didi loved
her long hair and long nails. She had several tests today at school
that she felt were a real challenge. Even though Didi had skipped a
grade, what was a review for the other classmates, was a little more
challenging for her. However, Didi scored a perfect 100 on her mid-
terms. Even though Sandy and Didi started their 'monthly' today, Didi
was determined to have a decidedly feminine look about her.
Didi's breasts were extremely tender due to the hormone pills which
were an influence on her. Her mom was amazed by the broad size of her
aerolas as well as her large breast buds. Didi wanted to mimic the
development of her BFF Sandy. Now that she was taking her hormone
pills everyday, Didi felt her burgeoning breasts needed to be on full
display like her friend's. Didi's nails were much longer and stronger
as Sandy had hers in a french manicure style. Didi felt even more
feminine because of her long acrylic nails. Her long ballerina style
nails meant that that she looked even more like a girl. Sandy
considered her the best girlfriend she ever had.
The upcoming Art Gala meant that Didi and Sandy would have a more
grown up feminine style for the event. Didi was mimicking her friend
Sandy. But now that she had a decidedly feminine look to her, she
wanted to look even more 'girly'. Didi's hair was down past her
shoulder blades in her back and was quite striking. Sandy complemented
her best friend on her emerging new look. Midge's salon was one of the
sponsors of the art event and asked Didi and Sandy to help with her
hosting duties. Kat and Debbie also wanted to help. Midge thought
their princess dresses were a little too young looking, so Midge,
Joanne, and Carol took the girls shopping for "Little Black Dresses"
for the event. The girls were excited to dress up for the event and
were giddy as they hit the big Bloomingdales to shop.
After trying on dress after dress, the girls felt they all had the
dress of their dreams. Didi was getting a lot of design ideas as they
sorted through lots of dresses. She actually pulled a notepad from her
purse and sat down to sketch out some inspirational ideas she got.
Joanne was sitting with her as they watched the other girls trying on
dresses and asked Didi what she was doing. "I thought of the skirt I
designed for Elaine in class and though how I might incorporate it
into one of these little black dresses Mom. If I can add the lace
accents to both the skirt and bodice, it would make it a little more
dressy. I'd like to ask Ms. Esecre if I could sew this for class."
"I have a meeting scheduled with Ms. Esecre after school tomorrow. Now
I know why she wanted to meet me. I'm sure she will be happy to help.
Why don't we go to the fabric store after our shopping to get
materials for your design? Maybe you could use Elaine as your model."
"That would be great mom! I thought I could also use some little
fabric buttons to accent the back of the dress, too. Would it be ok if
we got some other materials too? I had an idea for golf outfits for us
after seeing the top of the line golf outfits that Susan and Mary from
Westside CC had worn at our first junior golf tournament. I thought
Sandy, Kat and Debbie and I could wear them for the last big
tournament in a few weeks."
Joanne looked at Didi with amazement, wondering where this little girl
had been all her life. It was as if Didi was a butterfly emerging from
a 10 year old boy cocoon.
The next week was a busy one. Joanne met with Ms. Esecre the next day.
"Hi Ms. Esecre, it is nice to meet you. I hope Didi is behaving
herself in your class. I think your class is her favorite."
"Didi is a delight, Joanne. She seems to know much more than the other
girls in the class and I don't want her to get bored."
"I know she isn't bored, let me show you some ideas she sketched out
while we were shopping yesterday. We bought little black dresses for
the upcoming art gala in town and she had an inspiration to
incorporate the designs from the skirt she made in your class. She
also had some ideas for golf outfits based on some high end fashions
her opponents wore at their first golf tournament."
"These are impressive, Joanne. We need to keep that girl motivated. I
can help her make these in class. What else can I do to help? I
usually have the girls in my classes sew a dress for their final
project, but maybe we could encourage Didi to put together a little
show of her own designs."
"That's a great idea! I know my friend Midge was impressed and offered
to display them at her shop when she saw Didi's designs."
After her meeting, Joanne drove the girls to their golf lesson with
Brooke. She told Didi that Ms. Esecre was willing to help her sew her
designs. The other girls were curious and Didi explained about her
ideas for golf outfits for their last tournament. When they got to the
golf course, Joanne asked Brooke her opinion. Brooke was thrilled and
asked Didi what she had in mind for her? Didi actually thought that
Brooke's body style would be perfect for a slightly different version
that would accentuate Brooke's womanly shape. After the lesson, Joanne
met up with Carol and John and took the girls out to dinner. After
dinner, the girls had a study session and Joanne was amazed at how
close the girls were getting. That night as they were getting ready
for bed, Joanne talked to Didi about her meeting with Ms. Esecre.
Joanne observed closely as Didi changed into her nightgown and asked
Didi how her breasts were feeling.
"The don't itch so much anymore mom, and I think I'm finally starting
to catch up to my friends. I think I may need to get some new bras,
though. Mine are getting a little tight."
We can go this weekend Didi. I think you may also need to get some
sports bras for you, too. Do you still like your long nails, Didi? Is
it difficult to do your sewing with them?"
"I know you think I'm silly mom, but my nails make me feel more like a
girl."
"You're not silly, Didi. You're becoming a real woman, just like your
sisters and best friend. I just want to make sure that you're
comfortable."
On Tuesday, as Didi and her friends walked to school, they came across
a couple of older boys. Sandy and Kat took the lead as Didi and Debbie
fell in behind.
"Hi girls, are you going to the dance this Friday? Would you like to
go with us?" Chris and Joe were popular jocks at school and thought
the girls would be impressed.
"Sorry boys, but we will be at the Art Gala in town on Friday."
"What Art Gala? This is your big chance to go with us to the dance."
The girls were all giggling now. "Sorry boys, you'll just have to go
by yourselves."
In Ms. Esecre's class, Didi finalized her designs and asked Elaine if
she would be her model for her little black dress design. Elaine was
thrilled and let Didi take her measurements so she could cut and
tailor the pattern to her. After she cut out the pattern, Didi spent
the rest of the class working on the initial sewing. She still had
hand stitching for the buttons and lace appliqu?s. Ms. Esecre
supervised closely showing Didi advanced techniques for the hand
stitching. Didi asked Elaine if she wanted to go to the Art Gala with
her friends on Friday and told her she could wear the dress there.
Elaine loved her new friend and said she would ask her mom.
At lunch the girls all got together to eat and asked Elaine to join
them. Chris and Joe were persistent and told the girls they would give
them another chance to reconsider their offer. Now Elaine took the
lead in telling the boys that they would pass on their offer as they
had other plans. "I'm sure there must be some girls that you can find,
it just won't be us." The girls were all giggling again as the boys
were once again rejected.
"Maybe we should go to the Art Gala instead, Chris." The girls were
all giggling as Elaine told the boys: "You need to find something nice
to wear if you are going. Maybe Didi would design a dress for you
two."
At their golf lesson, Brooke had the girls working on their bunker
play. Didi loved hitting shots from the sand around the green, but
long shots out of the sand required a whole different setup. Didi had
a tape measure with her and asked Brooke if she could get her
measurements for the outfits she was making. The final tournament was
coming up and Didi had a lot of work to finish 5 complete sets. Brooke
was a little skeptical, but encouraged Didi. "You are a very busy
little girl, Didi."
"I wanted to make something special for you for all of the time you
have spent with us Brooke."
"That is so sweet of you Didi, I can't wait to see it finished."
The next day Elaine excitedly told her new friends that she and her
mom would be attending the Art Gala too. Didi finished up her dress
and told Elaine she was going to display it at Midge's Beauty Emporium
until Friday. Elaine told Didi that her mom was taking her shopping
for lingerie and shoes to go with the dress after school. Ms. Esecre
helped Didi work to finalize the patterns for the golf outfits. They
discussed materials and colors to highlight the girls' different
hairstyles and colorings. Didi had altered Brooke's design to make it
more form fitting for her enhanced curves that the girls didn't have.
After school Brooke met Didi, Ms. Esecre, Midge and Joanne at the
fabric store to pick out materials for the golf designs. Didi wanted
silk for their tops with lycra inserts to accommodate the stretching
necessary for golf. As they picked out the colors, Ms. Esecre was
offering tips on how to incorporate the materials together and
although it ended up more expensive than she thought it would, Joanne
was thrilled to help her newest daughter with her plans. Midge was
thrilled to be able to display Elaine's dress at her shop and told
Didi that she would also display the golf outfits until the
tournament.
On Friday, the girls could hardly contain their excitement all day.
Midge brought Elaine's dress to school and told Didi that she had
several customers that wanted to talk to her about creating dresses
for them. Ms. Esecre told Didi that she could help her modify her
design for older women.
The Gala was held at the upscale hotel downtown. The lobby and
ballroom were decorated with different paintings. Didi and her friends
helped register people and told them how the silent auction worked.
People were able to bid at their leisure for two hours prior to the
hearing the results. The girls were excited about the formal event and
felt grown up with their new dresses. Ms. Esecre introduced Didi to
her friend, Mrs. Wilson, who is a buyer from Bloomingdales. Didi had
Elaine come over and showed Mrs. Wilson her creation. "Didi designed
and sewed this dress for Elaine, Debbie. What do you think of her
work?"
"I think it is wonderful Didi. Did you do all of the hand stitching
yourself?"
"I did, but I have to give Ms. Esecre the credit for that. She taught
me the hand stitching techniques in our class at school. Ms. Esecre is
now helping me to complete some of my golf designs. We have our final
junior golf tournament in next weekend and I'm making new outfits for
my friends and our golf instructor." Didi was beaming.
"I would like to see those when you are done Didi. Our resort season
is coming up soon and I am really looking for new designs for young
women."
"They will be on display at Midge's Beauty Emporium next week before
the tournament."
"Then I can see your designs when I get my hair done next week."
The girls were thrilled to dress up for the Gala. Even Chris and Joe
came with their parents. Brooke came and Didi was excited to show her
the dress she created for Elaine.
After observing the women at the event, some of the dresses were
giving Didi more ideas. She found Ms. Esecre and asked if they could
talk for a few minutes. "What's on your mind Didi?"
"I noticed a lot of the women had beading or sequins on their dresses
tonight and wondered if I could incorporate some of that into my golf
designs. Or would that be overkill? I also saw a number of women with
elaborate stitching on their clothes. Is that something I could use
our sewing machines to do? I thought of putting D's on the back
pockets of our shorts, so that together they would create a signature
- D D."
"My, my, your brain is on overdrive tonight. We could certainly
incorporate some beading or sequins, but you're running out of time to
get the outfits done that would require more hand stitching. Our
sewing machines could do some simple embroidery, but you would need to
create a pattern first so that we could copy it into the memory. Would
you like to work on them tomorrow? We could meet at the fabric store
tomorrow morning to get the supplies."
"Thank you Ms. Esecre! I'll talk to my mom to make sure we can meet
you. Thank you again, you've been a great help to me. Would you be
able to come to our house afterwards? I can get my sisters and Sandy
to help in the hand stitching but your expertise would be needed."
Didi went to find her mom and sisters and Sandy to tell them about her
idea. Her mom was excited and told Didi she would take her to the
fabric store tomorrow morning to meet Ms. Esecre. Sandy, Deb and Kat
were excited to be able put some special designs on their outfits,
too. Didi organized a sewing session for Saturday afternoon to start
the hand sewing of the beading as well as the embroidery.
As the evening drew to a close, Didi found Brooke and her escort, one
of the country club members. Brooke wanted to get the girls together
on Sunday for an 18 hole tuneup before next weekends event. Brooke
said she would get Greg and Tom to join the girls to tee off at 9am.
After the girls were home and the excitement of the day was winding
down, Joanne was able to spend some time with Didi as she got ready
for bed. Joanne joined her new daughter to cleanse and moisturize.
Didi treasured every moment she got to spend with her mom.
