Mid-Nineteenth Century Ball at Ochre Court

Then we went to Ochre Court for a fabulous ball in a spectacular hall. It really is very pretty. I was going to wear blue, but we couldn't locate my dress (eek!), so I wore gold instead. Hopefully it isn't too bad that Mother and I both wore gold dresses.

Flop!

Death from above! Or maybe it is a quadrille.

Chairs in the pretty side room

Don't we look lovely?

Some people dance, rather than just posing all the time...

Oh, more dancing people

Looking good on the stairs.

A different angle

Pretty!

We all fall down

We stopped to get slurpees at 7-11 (a critical and time-honored tradition), but Raven and I had already started undressing by then. It was really hot and humid!
