Good manners at the table

 

Table Manners (Ingalls' Home Magazine, 1889) "Good manners at the table are of the greatest importance, for one can, at a glance, discern whether a person has been trained to eat well... to drink quietly, and not as a horse or cow drinks... There is no position where the innate refinement of a person is more fully exhibited than at the table."

It felt so good to dress up again. I did not leave the comfort of my home, but I did dress for an adventure.

Carry On!

 In April of this year, 2020, I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer at the height of a world wide pandemic...

 I was devastated. My life as Lady Estelle was about to change. I felt lost and began to loss my self esteem. How could I be dignified with such a destroying disease.

I started Chemotherapy right away.. That is when I began to lose my hair and figure to the chemical being administer to my body. 

 

The fight began to keep my spirit and hope because after seven months, I was beat up. The Victorian lady was beginning to feel defeated.

But something or someone kept telling me to " CARRY ON" 

So that is what I shall do. 

"CARRY ON AND FIGHT LIKE A LADY."
