Eric and I attended the Greater Lewisville Community Theater production of Crowns tonight. Teresa Ferrell Buntain, director, is a long time friend from R. L. Turner High School. The play portrays the importance of hats among African American woman of the south. The play continues next weekend too. It would be a great Mother's Day present to share this play.
I was reminded of my own mother's love for hats and how I loved to go to the hat shop with her. As they performed the old gospel hymn, His Eye is on the Sparrow, which was my mother's favorite, I could see her sitting at her organ, singing this song. As for the hats--apparently I thought they were pretty cool too!
