I Could Have Danced All Night

The evening began with a little coiffing in the kitchen.












Then Papa decided this would be a good night to bestow his late mom's mink stole. (We shall not discuss this further. The mink involved gave their lives long ago, before anyone was paying attention. I would never buy a mink now but this is one of the few artifacts we have from The Spouse's family of origin and it is therefore precious. Please keep your fake blood in the big Cabinet of Protest).



















And didn't he look handsome in his nice threads?



















Someone came home floating on a cloud. Someone else came home, probably with the hope of blowing up some stuff, to find The Neighbor and I watching "The Prize Winner of Defience, Ohio" (my new favorite movie ever, after "Annie Hall"). So that someone just went to bed. The other someone had to be hosed down before even thinking of going to sleep.














Her post-event effusions went something like this:

"Oh, and Mama, all the girls look soooooo pretty and oh, Mama, you should have seen Zoe's hair but oh, Mama, everyone just looooved my dress and I got to dance with Sam twice (wink wink) and he's the best dancer and oh, Mama, there was humbow and it was soooooo good and I had a Coke, you know, to keep me going and oh, Mama the room was soooo pretty and I danced with Sam twice...(yes, you told me)... oh, right (giggle). Do you want to see me tango?"

In short, she had a great time.
