FADE IN:
EXT. MIDDLE CLASS HOUSE. COUNTRY - DAY
On a warm and sunny Spring day, a young GIRL walks up the stairs of her home with her mother while savoring a peach. When finished eating, she studies its glistening pit, then smiles.
YOUNG GIRL
I'll be right back, mom.
She runs down the stairs to an open expanse of land outside the house. She drops to her knees, digs a hole in the moist earth with her fingers, then gently sets the peach pit into its center, covering it lovingly with the dug-up soil.
As she rises, she notes the location of the small mound, then runs home.
TEN YEARS LATER
The young girl, now a young WOMAN rests against the blossoming tree, studying with her college SWEETHEART. He lifts her hand and gently kisses it, she bent over to nestle his hair.
ANOTHER TEN YEARS LATER
Under the now twenty-year old tree, a wedding photographer is taking pictures of the woman turned BRIDE with her college sweetheart, now GROOM. Wedding guests surround them excitedly, sharing in their joy.
YET ANOTHER TEN YEARS
Picnicking with her three young children under the slivers of sunlight and shade, she observes her surroundings with reverence while two dogs are playfully barking and chasing each other.
SOME YEARS LATER
Mature in age, she and her husband exchange proud glances while their children and grandchildren are exhuberantly feasting at their annual Spring reunion under the tree's rustling and protective branches.
CUT TO:
Her husband, now in his senior years, stands alone under the rich spread of the peach tree's blossoms. As he caresses its bark,
HUSBAND
Olan, you are the Earth.

THE SCARLETT HIGH HEELS
And the winners are:
Leading Man/Tap Dancer - Fred Astaire (71%)
Partner - Sid Charise (57%)
Director - Vincente Minelli (42%)
Thank you for voting!
FADE IN:
INT. 1930's HOLLYWOOD STUDIO - DAY
With the Orchestra at the ready behind them, the LEADING MAN/TAP DANCER embraces a WOMAN casting for the role of his leading lady.
DIRECTOR
Action.
As the couple tap and glide in perfect harmony, a mischievous gleam in the woman's eye travels to her feet as she begins to disregard the scripted choreography, ad libbing with barrell rolls and bombershays.
Initially, her partner expresses confusion at her unspoken challenge, then gracefully accepts.
As their pace accelerates, the Orchestra follows in tempo to chasse-s, chaine-s, and balance-s, while their heels cluster click, scuff, stubb, twist and thump across the floor; she growing attracted to him, and he to her.
The silence of the entranced CREW is broken with...
DIRECTOR
Cut! Cut!
As he gropes for his chair,
DIRECTOR
(to the cameraman)
Tell me you got it!
CAMERAMAN
(smacking on his chewing gum)
Got it, boss.
Simultaneously, the woman sits, lifts her gown, and carefully removes her red-soaked high heels. In her bare, swollen feet she walks gracefully to the director and drops them at his feet. As she turns to leave, the director rushes after her.
DIRECTOR
Name your price!
The leading man catches up to her, extending his hand.
LEADING MAN
Shall we dance?
As she accepts his hand, he begins to sing.
LEADING MAN
(singing)
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
WOMAN
When you dance, you're charming and you're
gentle.
LEADING MAN
(whispers)
I'm in heaven.
As they kiss, the director shrugs, throws the original script into the air, then winks at the cameraman.

Thank you!
Hello my dear friends,
Your well wishes were so very much appreciated. My father recovered well, but my mother will be going into the heart rehabilitation this week, so will not have time to visit or post. Again, thank you, mes amis.
Love, Petra xo
