{1} I was sleeping in this morning when I received a phone call from work:
"Hi Leah sweetie, can you come in today? One of the teachers is sick and has to go home."
"Oh, why of course!! I'll be right in!"
*Rips self out of bed*
Blah.
*Does a slap~dash job of getting ready*
Double blah.
*Speed demons it to the northeast side*
Greeted by these cuties:

Awww...so worth it! :-)
{2} In case you didn't know, I'm a Mennonite.
However, this dress and apron are not part of my daily garb. I've been participating in a re~enactment featuring the traditional Mennonite and Brethren people during the Civil War era. School groups come through, and I show them around my kitchen and demonstrate how to make butter in my butter churn.
{3} I had a dream about these verses two nights ago, and since then I've been seeing them everywhere:
"See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." ~Matt. 6:28-29
Hmm...perhaps I should pay attention, eh?
{4} My celebrity crush that WON'T GO AWAY: James Blake
Okayyy...I know, I know...
{5} My bff Stacy got accepted to grad school in Philly!! Whoop whoop!! I'm so excited that she's going to be closer this year. Harrisburg to Philly is only like 2 hours, so you all can bet your Philly soft pretzels/Tastykakes that I'm going to be making that trek! Congrats, my friend.

ReplyDeleteHi Leah! Enjoyed your MM today. Interested in what it means to be Mennonite...forgive my ignorance, but I often think of the traditional dress when I hear the word. Would love to converse with you about it sometime! Do I spy a new blog background?? It's very cute! Hope you have a lovely day today, ~Kristin from Windy Poplars

Hey Leah! Oh a sunroom sound divine! In my dreams I've got one right off my kitchen. Maybe one day... :-) So, tell me more about the Mennonite lifestyle. Is it similar at all to German Baptist? I have quite a few German Baptist friends... If it's easier to - you can e-mail me, my address is: windy-poplars@juno.com. I'm always interested in learning about different lifestyles that we typically stereotype, but are very misinformed about. Last fall we went on vacay and learned about the Shakers - again, had a VERY different idea in my mind about what they really were all about. - Sorry this was such a long "comment"! Talk to ya later, ~Kristin
ReplyDeleteLoved you in your re-enactment "costume". I wear similar plain dresses and aprons for daily wear. However I do prefer a full apron for messy jobs. Bet those kiddies learnt a lot.
