We had a lovely time at the Austrian Ball Saturday– I much prefer it to the Ottawa Winter Ball. This one is so Austrian. The dance music is provided by a trio called Edelweiss (made up of the musical and vocal stylings of Fritz, Hans and Dieter). Murray says the highlight of the evening for him is always when the band plays By the Rivers of Babylon, and all the Austrians start line dancing. This year, being the 50th anniversary of the ball, they even had a little mini operetta. The party went well into the morning, we only made it to midnight but for us, that’s doing well.
The March of the Debutants
While we were yodeling it up in Montreal, the girls were having a sleep over at Uncle Rob and Auntie Claire’s . They had such a great time they didn’t want to leave. Claire gave them a cardboard box, and a bunch of craft supplies and helped them make a doll house. It has a staircase, chandeliers and is fully furnished. They’re adding a stable block and pool next.
