this morning i went on a class trip to pomona hall, not 5 minutes from my house... it's the restored home of the cooper family dating back to the early 1700's. i learned a lot. seeing and hearing about the camden of yesterday as opposed to the camden of today, well, it's exciting & heartbreaking all at the same time.
we had the dullest, most disagreeable and abrupt tour guide named pam... after the trip, the kids and i talked about what we saw & i complained about pam... i came to find out she lives next door to one of the students... i felt slightly ashamed, but not really, cause it was true.
the best part of the trip was talking to mercy, a delightful costumed old lady who vividly explained how the kitchen of pomona hall would have operated...
i wanted to take her home as my souvenir...
