Catherine

I wrote this for a Middle School English class. And found it tucked away under some notebooks today.

Carefully, Catherine made her way down the rocky path to the water. Blue-green water splashed against the golden sand. She ran across the sand to the waves. Catherine stood silently by the sea. A turquoise wave washed in. Her reflection stared back at her.
She had a soft, white oval face; which was framed by silky sand colored curls. Her eyes were greenish-blue that matched the sea. She had a tiny, turned up nose. A light dusting of freckles covered her nose and cheeks, like little fairy kisses. Soft pink lips curled up in a shy smile. Around her neck she wore her prized strand of real milk, white pearls. She had a soft ivory complexion. A long, white cotton dress showed off her tall, slender figure. It came to her ankles, with a ruffle at the collar and sleeves. In her hands was a brown straw hat. She also carried a basket. It was full of clams. The spume softly licked at her bare feet. She watched with wistful eyes as the wave washed out to sea taking her reflection with it.

Add it to the raspberry juice. Boil 4 cups of water and add it to the raspberry juice. Let the raspberry juice cool, then chill in the refrigerator. When the cordial is ready to serve float a slice of lemon in each glass.
