Puttin on the Ritz!

Dan & Deb

Stan & Linda

Saturday night was the Indianapolis Sailing Club's annual Commodore's Dinner and Dance. Stan wanted to go, so we invited good friends (and sailing co-horts), Dan and Debbie, to go with us. The dress was semi-formal, so after searching our closets, Deb and I came up with appropriate attire.

The men have it so easy - they just throw on a suit and tie and they're ready to go.

With us gals, there is finding the right outfit, which in itself can be challenging, then there's the hair, nails, shoes, handbags, etc! After getting my hair cut,my nails done, and a facial from my aesthetician, I've realized it takes a village for us gals to gussy up, and the older I get, I'm beginning to think it is soon going to take a small city to get me ready for these affairs!

You look so pretty, though! Stan cleans up pretty well, too. ; ) Looks like it was a fun night!

Thanks, Heather...you're right about Stan...he does clean up pretty well. I bet no one would guess his "alter-ego" look, "Trashrunner," with his running outfit, baseball cap, and plastic bags, picking up trash along the roads! : - )

Hope things are going well for all of you!

Trashrunner--I love it!!!

You look beautiful, Mom! Even though it's a huge hassle to get all dressed up, isn't it kind of fun? I'm glad you had a great time!

You and Deb look great! It is kind of fun to dress up every now and then but it is a big hassel unfortunately. Guys do have it much easier. Hope you had as much fun as it looks.

You all look wonderful! Mom, you look really beautiful. I love your hair and outfit! I never used to enjoy dressing up, but now that I am home and am in sweats or jeans all day, I appreciate it a whole lot more! I hope you had a great time!

You look so beautiful! I don't think the time spent getting ready has much to do with age....just comes along with being a girl. :-)

"Trashrunner!" How appropriate!
