Here we go again!
WOW it's already time to get ready for the Masked Ball again.  That really flew by.  So now Mrs. Wickon is freaking out because she decided to cook 52 dishes (last year she only made 35) and she has to get started now so it'll all be ready to eat by next week.

Everyone else is scrambling to sew themselves gowns (Felicity, Lily, Suzanne, Cristal, Samantha and Lisa are all getting new ones this year) and find matching masks and/or make new ones that match their new dresses.  

Poor Juan Valasquez fell off the rancho wall and broke both of his legs AND his back, so he's lying around moaning and wailing and no one will listen to him except Josefina because they are all busy trying to pull together their outfits for the ball.  His mother, Ana, is planning to dress up as a bride and wear her wedding dress since she doesn't have a ballgown yet, and that's the fanciest gown she has.

Nafy is also working on the details for her next video blog while trying to keep up with all her assignments from Mammy, and Lily Merriman is on a roll in the sewing room.  She already finished her ballgown for the Masked Ball, and now she's starting on another one just in case.

I love this time of year.  I really like how all the doll houses look with all their autumn decorations, and playing dolls inside with a cup of coffee, cozy music and rain pouring down outside like I'm in the bottom of a swimming pool all makes this very enjoyable.

I'll see everyone on the chat this afternoon!  4:00 PST on the message board.  And don't forget to send in your contest entries.  ;)
