Last weekend, Shirley and I took our mourning gowns out to St. Andrews Church.
This church building was finished in 1849 which is old by our reckoning. I realize there are far older churches in Europe but Canada is still a young country so an 1840’s church seems old to me. If I ever go and see Europe I might curl up in a little ball trying to fathom such age!
We did some high drama acting near the old gravestones.



This is my favorite photo of Shirley…very dramatic looking towards the river!

Shirley thought of a parasol. I did not. It was cloudy when I left the house so I didn’t think I’d need one-I don’t have a black one anyway. Shirley let me borrow hers for a few photos.
I wore my 1900 gown.
I like the hat but the edge might need to be wired because the flipped up edge isn’t staying that way. I’ll also need to cover the under brim as the straw is not holding the paint very well.
I think I nailed the hair though!

This is my favorite photo of the two of us, taken by Shirley’s daughter who came in modern clothes so no photos of her.
Awesome bustle Shirley!
I like this photo because I totally upstaged Shirley and covered her face with my hat and nearly took her eye out with it! Once a diva always a diva!
After we were done fake sobbing, we headed off to Maple Grove Tea Room in Kennedy House. They had a nice photo op right outside the door.
I absolutely loved Shirley’s hair!
Once inside, we of course had tea!
Then we used some of the rooms in Kennedy House for photo ops.
Isn’t Shirley’s hat yummy!?
I think this is one of my favorite photos of myself…if were just a little less blurry…well maybe the blurry helps!
