True to Adams Family style, at least in today's standards, I took my family on a wonderful picnic to Laurel Hill Cemetery. For those of you who think having a picnic, jogging, or riding a bike for leisure in a place of final rest is beyond bizarre think again, it was a common practice of our ancestors. Back in the Victorian era people would spend their leisure time in a cemetery enjoying a picnic, socializing, or playing games. Today, what may seem to be a morbid thing to do was actually a beautiful and common thing to do in the 1800's. Laurel Hill Cemetery is located in Philadelphia and it is a massive 78 acres of land.

AuthorPlain and simple, I'm painfully the artsy type. I like to keep my mind occupied because it keeps me out of trouble. I love art, photography, music and the 1940's. Between art exhibits, photography projects, design work, developing and promoting my new upcoming line the "LuvSicks", dressing up in early 40's vintage clothing for WWII living history events and endlessly researching the 40's home front and women's fashion to help educate the audience, and dusting off my drum sticks once in a while, I am endlessly busy. In a nutshell I draw silly pictures, shoot pictures, and play dress-up. In a nutshell I guess I never grew up. In a nutshell I guess I'm just a nut! Archives
