Dressing Miss Molly

I received the sweetest letter yesterday from the kids at the Parkside Baptist Churches summer camp program.
I had presented a program on antebellum dress during their lunch period.  They were engaged and curious and we had so much fun as I stood there in 14 layers of clothing while they were all wearing shorts and t-shirts  LOL




Even the boys enjoyed the program.  One youngster texted his mother and said, "We're watching a lady take her clothes off."
