Love the hats! Reminds me that I don’t have any colonial hats to speak of and being a confirmed hat person I need to get one. I do have snoods, they are fun to wear.
When I was thinking of snoods, I’m thinking of the ones that remind you of a type of hairnets of which I have several, but the hats in the pictures were also called snoods to weren’t they?
This is excellent. Years ago I attended a 2-day “silent” retreat…even for meals! At first I thought that surely they were kidding with such a premise, but as it turned out, it was one of the best retreats possible: no cell phones (they were left at the front desk for emergencies only), no TV or iPods or CD players. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable, and 2 days of silence were comforting and renewing.
Good to see you, Marylin. I know I certainly can use a 2-day silent retreat. I think it’d good to let us be ourselves for a little while. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

Well this made me laugh

Glad it made you laugh… It was at the Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

I want a hat like that.

It won’t go with your slim jeans though…
Have a great week!

It would look rather incongruous for sure.

The cellphone seems a bit incongruous in this period scene, don’t you think?

Yea. My girl friend and I laughed when we saw these two ladies. They were supposed to greet people by the gate of the Independence Hall.
