The Willow Manor Ball


As you can see I am dining with Wilson at the Willow ball tonight.
He has always wanted to attend a ball, and me being the kind soul that I am, I just could not turn him down.


This is the neclace that he was wanting me to wear, but i refused!


I insisted on something more elogant and quiet.


These are the shoes he wanted me to dance in, but I put my foot down on this one!


So I compromised with these.


Betty Boop is modeling the beautiful dress I will wear...isn't she lovely?


And last but not least...these are the gloves I chose for the ball.  Wilson prefers gloves to rings and things like that. After all he is a little sensitive.


Thank you for inviting me Willow...we are having a ball!

  6. My grandmother used to wear white gloves to everything, even the post office.

    Sounds like the start of a blog post. Maybe I'll write one in your honor!

    Where do you get all your pictures? My goodness. I love the header on your other blog with the elephants.
