Re: Preperations (open if you know where Claremount is)

"But, these are unlady like, I am just barely getting used to dress pants, these are jeans."

She was holding them out like they were offensive.

[Guest]

Venis looked over at Casie. "Are you saying I'm not a lady?" She laid her gown on the bed neatly. "Put them on or I will take you over my knee young lady." She laughed as she pulled the clean T-shirt over her head.

[Casandra Lightheart]

She sighed, Venis had trapped her and now she had to put them on. She took off the dress and pulled on the jeans and the t-shirt. She tucked the shirt into the jeans and then pulled her hair into a braid.

"There."

She smiled at her and tugged at the jeans.

"They feel like they are to tight."

The jeans in fact fit her perfectly.

[Guest]

Venis laughed. "My ass, they're perfect." She laughed as she fastened her jeans and then pulled her T-shirt out some and slipped her heels back on her feet. "Ok, now lets go get those rooms done before I put you in heels." Venis laughed as she picked up the stuff Casie had given her downstairs and headed from her room.

[Casandra Lightheart]

She followed her downstairs.

"V, there is no way you will ever get me in heals; I can't walk in them."

She laughed. Once they were back downstairs she went to work.

[Guest]

Venis laughed as she walked into a bedroom. "Someday my dear, someday." She got to work.

It took about four hours for the women to finish the rooms, She was very happy with how they had progressed. So instead of waiting they moved up to the second floor and repeated the process all over.

[Casandra Lightheart]

The rooms on the second floor were finished in about the same time as the first floor.

"Well ladies lets go to the kitchen and eat, the only thing left to get ready is the ball room, and that can wait until tomorrow."

She headed back to the kitchen and sat down.

"Marsha, can you find us son dinner, something light."

Marsha smiled.

"Of course Lady Casandra, I'll get something together."

She went about the kitchen and brought back cheese, meat, bread, and fruit. Also a bottle of wine and several glasses.

[Casandra Lightheart]

The women all ate dinner and went to bed early. Cassie took a couple hours to sit with the children and read them a story before she sent them to bed. She then went to bed herself.

[Casandra Lightheart]

The next day Cas woke early and went to the ball room; the tables and chairs had been set up by some of the men that worked the grounds and helped care for the horses. She was wearing the jeans V had given her and one of her sweaters.

She began by opening all the boxes. Once that was done she began with the table cloths. There were seven round tables with seating for ten, and one long table with seating for twelve. She soon had all the tables covered.

Next thing she did was begin to place the bows on the chairs.

[Casandra Lightheart]

She had the women from the kitchen set the tables with dishes she had kept them in storage for a very long time.

(different wine glasses)

Venis came down looking rather tired and restless. She hadn't slept all that well. She had gotten used to sleeping next to her husband again and did not sleep well without him. But she was ready to go to work in her jeans, tank top, and heels.

She walked over to a box that contained streamers. There were two kinds. One kind went above the doors. They looked like nets with hearts hanging from them. She set to work on those first. So how was a six foot two, six foot eight in her heels, going to hang streamers in a ballroom? Telekineticlly of course.

She used push pins and levitated the items into place one at a time. Once they were straight she would put the pins in them to secure them to the ceiling. The hearts would dangle down like rain above the heads of those who walked under them.



Once she had one placed above every doorway in the ball room she moved onto the other type of steamers. These ones were chains of hearts. They were to run like tentacles from the chandeliers out. The ones that would run between the chandeliers would go from one to the other. But When they ran in the other directions they would run all the way to the walls.

So she again used telekineses to lift them into place and make sure they were secured by push pins. In some area's, two or more would cross as they came off one chandelier or another. It made a very lovely pattern. And they all hung high enough not to catch fire once she lit the chandeliers.

[Casandra Lightheart]

The next thing Casie did was add the table decorations. In the middle of the tables she placed glass mirrors shaped like hearts.



On alternating tables were either three rose shaped candles in glass votive holders.



Or a bowl with floating candles.



The main table had two of each setting equally spaced on the table.

At each place setting there was a card holder with each person's name on it.



Also alternating buckets.




Each bucket was filled with.


The last thing that was placed on all the tables were silk rose petals.
