Colts & Quilts: The Civil War Remembered
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Last week, I called my brother, Ed, to ask his advice about my trip west. He is a pilot for Federal Express and knows about weather patterns and of course, maps, which in his line of work is called navigation. Up until now, he has just said head west! This morning, I got a text message from him. It said "the weather is starting to move it. It's warm now, but the air moving in is cold and may hold some snow." I called him and his advice was "get in the car and start driving west NOW!" Just yesterday, New Mexico was hit was a giant snow storm and it was headed my way. Luckily, I was pretty much packed and ready to go.
So I left and headed for Hartford, Connecticut where Pam and I were meeting at the Wadsworth Antheneum. When I left it was raining, and it rained all the way. At one point, the fog was really bad, and visibility was terrible. Luckily, that didn't last long and I made it to the museum just fine. The purpose of this visit was to see the exhibit Colts and Quilts: The Civil War Remembered. A civil war era quilt was on exhibit along with a number of women's dresses. Also there was an original letter written by Abraham Lincoln to Horace Greeley and a bronze miniature stature of Lincoln.
