Glen Manor is a special event, because we have a formal dinner and reception in the house before the dancing begins. The food was yummy and the gardens were lovely, and while usually I don't like this event much it turned out to be pretty lovely. We didn't do a lot of dancing though (too full!), so I'll let the pictures say the rest.

We took a whole series with flowers that matched our dresses...we are a set!

| Antonia with black-eyed susans |
 |
| Quinn with cosmos |
 |
| Julia with....hydrangeas? |
 |
| me with a GIANT hibiscus |
then we went on an adventure to the water!

Later we read stories, and did some more stair posing...
We even did a little dancing...in fact, I had one really fabulous tango with our resident police officer! For Glen Manor we are required to hire a police detail, and several years ago this particular officer got the gig, and liked us so much he got a period uniform, and he wears it when he works our Glen Manor event. Isn't that fabulous? He also has great potential as a dancer, and suffered gracefully through my poor back-leading.

All in all, it was a delightful evening. TNG for the win!

That looks splendid! I love everyone's portraits with the flowers, but I must say Antonia's ensemble is particularly smashing.
