I had always wanted to have a Civil War ball at the historic train depot in town. So when I graduated from high school sis years ago, my dream came true. Friends and family were invited, musicians were found, cookies were made, dressed and corsets were sewn, dance cards were made, and on September 1st, we danced the night away.
