Daughter wears wedding dress again, but already married!
No, it's not a PPD. My daughter just called from Maryland. Last night the Daughter's of the American Revolution (DAR) had their state formal banquet. She was awarded State Outstanding Junior, and has been named a finalist for the DAR National Congress in June. Juniors are members under the age of 35. They traditionally wear white dresses to these special occasions. Her debutant gown doesn't fit any more, but her wedding gown does! (Wish I could still get into mine! LOL!) Mommy is very proud.

DH and I have been researching it, off and on, since our marriage. MIL loftily informed me that her family was related to the patriot Nathan Hale, who was executed as a spy during the Revolution.
She was being a pill about it, so I looked it up. Guess what? There were three men named Nathan Hale that served in the Revolution, and hers was the wrong one!
This! The DAR was always an organization I found really interesting, but I could never participate in as I am the great great granddaughter of Italian and Dutch immigrants who came over in the mid 19th century.
My children attended public school in Maryland. One February they came home disappointed, because they were studying Black History in America, and they didn't have any African-Americans in their family. I signed them up for Children of the American Revolution so they could learn about their own heritage, and be proud of it., Daughter is currently preparing the papers for her baby son, Simon, to join CAR. Your family heritage is something important, no matter what it is. DAR helps people recognize and preserve theirs. I hope that someday soon you submit your application.
