The Ball and Investiture-Picture heavy

After the event my daughter told me that I seem to have fit better in my coronet today.  Like that it didn't quite look so much like playing dress up.   A friend gave me a small leather coronet to wear when the large one isn't convenient-like if I want to dance.   Having a coronet fly off a head when dancing could be... bad.  Along with an investiture, today's event was a ball, and so of course had dancing.  I only got one dance in and K did one as well.  I hope that those who stayed later got as much dancing as they could.

It was a day filled with happy things:

• Watching the previous Baron and Baroness step down and greeting the new Baroness in.
• Territorial Baronages get a front row seat at court so K and I could see and hear most everything going on.
• Seeing Gideon as he laughed and played with friends.
• The current Prince and Princess will soon be King and Queen, they are both learning and growing with their parts and I believe will continue to do well.
• Their current Majesties will be stepping down soon.  I have enjoyed their reign and will miss them.
