It's been an incredibly long, dry spell here on the blog. However, we finally composed the new season of events and exhibitions. The WF season usually begins in August. So, we arehaving an ice cream social to get things started with a BANG!!! An ice cream social brings to mind one of those festivities best suited for jovial mid summer. Which, may clash a little with the current state of the WF. Because we have started a new tradition of launching the season with the most somber of tributes...Victorian mourning and yellow fever! The entire mansion seems draped with black veils and is a bit gloomy..(it says, " Throw some dirt on me!") So, we make lemonade (or perhaps lemon sherbet) out of lemons. That's just how we roll at the WF.
We'll be announcing everything that will be going on and bragging about the success of this past season! LOTS to talk about and LOTS of ice cream will be served up! The social is 2-4PM and is FREE!!! We originally had Andrea Cowart scheduled to show off her beautiful photography, but after scheduling conflicts she had to postpone until another time. So, I will be in the museum today brewing up a plan for a mini exhibition from the museum's permanent collection. Of course, the museum will be open for members (both old and new) to tour. It's always a great time to catch up with old friends and see the museum in a different light!
I'll post the new season after the social on Sunday with some pictures from the event, too! Just in case you miss it, you'll get to kick yourself in the pants for not being there. (So, join us!)
great expressions - "Throw some dirt on me" and "kick yourself in the pants"....love the Daily Reminder, it brings warmth, humor and great memories for me.
