2009 Lieutenant Governers Garden Party

The
Lieutenant Governor's garden party was a fun event this year and what
glorious weather! It was held in the Royal Artillery park because of
renovations to Government House and for the first time ever, the Honourable Mayann E. Francis extended an open invitation to all Nova Scotians!
The
receiving line, which went on for almost the entire duration of the
tea. You were asked your name and then presented to the Lieutenant
Governor. I made a ninny out of myself and said something along the
lines of "I'm charmed to meet you". Ack. Embarrassing. I don't think Ive ever said that to anyone in my life.
Here she is , The Honorable Mayann E. Francis. A very attractive and intelligent woman!
The
tables were festooned with rose petals and there were dipped
strawberries and tarts, fruit and cheese. Waiters drifted about with
silver trays of cucumber dill and chicken salad sandwiches.
Being
asked to pour the tea is an honor and there were several women and
girls who did an admirable job. One of whom was Emily of the Emily
Fund, which raises money for insulin pumps for kids. It is a charity
that the The Honorable Mayann E. Francis has taken on.

Everyone
was decked out in summery hats and business wear. Boy Scouts and Girl
Guides were also on hand to help out. Music was supplied by harpists on
one side and a small orchestra sitting under the trees on the other :)
