The most fun part for me was dressing up. I used my sister's maid-of-honor dress from my wedding and used some safety pins and crumpled paper towels to make my hoop skirt. I had a friend do my hair in a period style. I found a cameo in my jewelry box and hung it on a length of decorative 'ribbon' pearls.
I even had my picture taken with Abraham Lincoln!
All in all, a lovely evening!
Until next time,
Happy Reading!

How great! I've heard Mary Todd Lincoln speak twice, now. She did an awesome job. She had a 6 ft. poster of her husband and she talked about the "good years."
Hope you had a wonderful time.

Thanks gals. The Mary Todd program was really interesting. Her sister was married to a Confederate general, so this program was called "Divided" and talked about how even the White House wasn't immune to the emotional conflicts of war.
