The plan for those that wish to join us is to meet at the museum at 1pm for a tour. Some of us are meeting at the front of the museum at 11:30am and finding a place to do lunch. The attempt is to do an early tea with containers of hot water/tea, scones, cream, cucumber sandwiches, etc. What ever you want to eat.
My cell phone will be on and ready to be the coordinator. The number is in the next Friends only post. Get ahold of me if you need it and can’t read it.
How’s this for minimal planning?
Sunday, right?
Sunday it is.
Turns out I can’t make it. Perhaps next time
I’ve seen worse.
Want to carpool?
I’m hoping to borrow Shannon’s pith helmet and wear pseudo-Victorian safari attire.
I am going to be carpooling down with the Girls.
It sounds like Crystal is thinking of 50s wear. I will still probably wear khaki with pocket vest. Maybe I can borrow Crystal’s pith helmet. Or I can maybe wear my French Foreign Legion/Charles DeGaul hat. If I can find it again.
French headgear
Pssst…it’s called a kepi.
Re: French headgear
I call it my Charles DeGaul hat because it looks like the hat on the Charles DeGaul walnut craker my parents picked up in France when I was a baby. It isn’t a typical nutcracker with a lever. No, this one has an open mouth all the way through and a screw that you tighten on the nut to crack it. It has the funny hat and a really lone skinny nose. That is my image of Charles DeGaul and that particular kepi type hat. I have no idea what my hat really is.
Re: French headgear
Hon, if you need a hat to top off your outfit, LMK.
Between my collection and the mountain of stuff Kevin picked up at the last SF Opera costume sale, we’re bound to have something that will complete the ensemble.
Re: French headgear
I presume that you refer to Charles Andre Joseph Marie de Gaulle, General of the Armee de Terre and late president of the French Republic…?
How was the trip ?
