Living History Timeline. It was awesome. So many people from different time periods. So much fun to dress up and portray a person from history.

The person I portrayed was Irena Sendler. She was a Polish social worker during WW2 who saved 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto.

Having fun with the camera.

Friends

Queen Esther

My friend was portraying Corrie Ten Boom when she was older. I was on crutches because my character (Irena Sendler) was tortured in prison and they broke her legs and feet and she never walked without crutches ever again.

A dear friend of ours. We pick her up every Sunday to go to church with us.

Here are a few photos of some of the characters people portrayed.....

Maria Antoinette

My six year old little friend wanted to take a photo. The young man in the background was portraying Oscar Micheaux.

Harriet Tubman

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Fanny Hayes

Mary Elisabeth Bowser

We had about 30 kids who participated in the program. It was wonderful evening!

Thank you for sharing. My husband was unable to come, but at least he could see what we were talking about. The pictures turned out wonderfully.

The Homespun Dress

Oh, yes, I am a Southern girl,
And glory in the name,
And boast it with far greater pride,
Than glittering wealth or fame.

We envy not the Northern girl,
Her robes of beauty rare,
Though diamonds grace her snowy neck,
And pearls bedeck her hair,

Chorus ---- Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the sunny South so dear;
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear!

The homespun dress is plain, I know,
My hat's palmetto too;
But then it shows what Southern girls
For Southern rights will do.
We send the bravest of our land,
To battle with the foe
And we will lend a helping hand ---
We love the South, you know.

Chorus.

Now Northern goods are out of date;
And since old Abe's blockade,
We Southern girls can be content
With good that's Southern made.
We send our sweethearts to the war;
But, dear girls, never mind ---
Your soldier-love will ne'er forget
The girl he left behind.

Chorus.

The soldier is the lad for me --
A brave heart I adore;
And when the sunny South is free,
And when fighting is no more,
I'll choose me then a lover brave
From all that gallant band;
The soldier lad I love the best
Shall have my heart and hand.

Chorus.

The Southern land's a glorious land,
And has a glorious cause;
Then cheer, three cheers for Southern rights,
And for the Southern boys!
We scorn to wear a bit of silk,
A bit of Northern lace,
But make our homespun dresses up,
And wear them with a grace.

Chorus.

And now, young man, a word to you:
If you would win the fair,
Go to the field where Honor calls,
And win your lady there.
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears are all for those
Who fill a soldier's grave.
