One of the benefits of living in this old mansion ( shown here ), apart from the amazing beauty of the grounds surrounding us, is the variety of "always interesting " events going on right on the property. This afternoon as I was preparing dinner, I heard what sounded like the clomp, clomp, clomp of a horse, and looked out the window to see a lovely horse drawn carriage carrying a little girl dressed up like a princess, complete with tiara. They moved slowly around the circle drive while people where snapping photos ( the papparazzi? ). I ran and got my camera and quickly got off a couple of quick shots ( thus the poor quality ).

Here's our home.

Here's the carriage. I kind of lopped off the horse's head. Need to work on that.

The little princess. Sorry it's a bit fuzzy.
I'm sorry to say I didn't get the "story" about the little princess: Was she a REAL PRINCESS? Was it from the Make A Wish Foundation and this little girl's wish was to be a Princess ( I actually prayed this was not the case)? Was it a special birthday gift from someone to their "Little Princess"? Was it a little girl who demanded, "I WANNA BE A PRINCESS!"? Whatever it was, I took in the whole scene and it seemed magical to me as I watched. I imagine it was a VERY MAGICAL day for the little girl who got to be a Princess and ride around the mansion in a horse-drawn carriage!
I had to run in and check on my dinner which could have been burning while I was out and decided I would go back out and ask about the circumstances ( however delicately as I don't want to appear nosey ) surrounding this event and even offer to let them come inside the mansion. But when I got back outside they had left. Magical moments are sometimes like that. |
