In which Sapphire returns from camp

Not much news actually. Sapphire arrived home safely just before 7:00 this evening, though we had to wait for half an hour or so for the luggage truck to arrive. She had a wonderful time.

There was apparently a lice outbreak at camp while she was there, but she didn't catch them. However, she was lice shampooed (as were all of the campers) and got to have her hair carefully combed out section by section to make sure that she didn't. According to her, she was the one who spotted little white specks moving around in someone's long black hair and notified the counselors.

The cook's made an enormous cake for her birthday with pink and white frosting, and the directrice of the camp gave her a lovely purple ring shaped out of a piece of coated wire.

She got far more mail than anyone else at camp, and the other kids were fascinated by the fact that her letters were in English. (Since I got a grand total of 3 letters, I suspect that she did not send far more mail than anyone else at camp.)
