Vacation, Part I of III
And so begins the viewing of the Morton's most recent vacation(s)!
The first part of our vacation was spent with our dear friends in West Virginia who were hosting an Old South Ball. It was such fun as we were also able to see friends we had not seen in awhile!
(FYI: I am doing this post a little different due to technical difficulties... there will be multiple posts under one theme with the same vacation pictures!)

Wow... I see what you mean by a formal ball. Dance cards. Only place I've ever seen those are in Meet Me in St. Louis. :P
Well, that's it. A comment for every post. Looks like an incredibly fun time for everybody. Encouraging and spiritually uplifting as well. Seeya later! :)
Well, Mr. Isaac... thank you for all of your comments! We certainly enjoyed reading all of them, even if some of them WERE a little (or quite a bit) boring :).

Wow! Thanks so much for posting these.
You're welcome. Glad to do it, ma'am. :)
Quite a bit boring? Hmmmm.... I'll have to make them less so next time. Maybe do it in Pig Latin. That work? ^_^
Oh, and as mentioned, that's a Colonel of Cavalry uniform. Watch a bit of Gods and Generals or Gettysburg and you'll see the difference. BTW, Gen Lee always wore a Colonel's rank insignia, but with a gray collar to his coat -- no particular combat arm. Yellow (like this gentleman) is cavalry, red is artillery, and blue is infantry. All general officers' collars are gold, and their rank insignia/collar badges are three stars in a wreath. Three stars alone are full Colonel. Oh, you're very welcome.
