By now, if you are following this blog, you may be sick of my daily additions to this. If you are please tell me. Tell me something soon. OK?
Yesterday I went to the Tryon Palace to get my costume for volunteering at various places on the grounds. When I stepped off the curb to cross the street in front of the house where I was to go I turned my ankle and took a tumble. When I tried to get up I fell again so two people rushed over to help me up. Was I totally embarrassed? Duh!! The bad thing (or maybe good thing) is I get less embarrassed every time I do something so ungraceful. Probably because I do them more and more.
The costume is one of what a servant of the governor would wear. First there is a long chemise, and then a heavy petticoat, then some sort of top that sort of wraps around in front, then an apron to hold the wrap closed. There are no closures to any of the items except ties. There is a hat to cover your hair and you wear long stockings. With all those items of clothing added to my already spreading girth I look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy's mother. And....tomorrow I am doing lawn games outside all day. It is supposed to be 85 degrees. Hmmm
