Pilgrim Attire....Cutting Edge!

2020 kicked off with a wonderful commemoration of the landing of the Mayflower in the Rose Parade!

Now, even Pilgrim Attire has hit the big time!

Gigi Hadid walked Paris Fashion Week in what they news stated was

"PILGRIM CHIC"!

So many different videos of 

The Voyage of Hope-1620

But I like this one.

Wrap up of the Mayflower SHIP Float

In the Rose Parade

Spending five days with so many Mayflower Cousins was great fun.....
Duke touched us all with his updated Mayflower compact.....
But our "Port side Mayflower  Family" was particularly fun! 
The five of us did "repeated stadium waves", shouted "Have Good Hopes for the New Year", and performed "all left handed waves....then all right handed waves", all while being perfectly sober!

Here is a toast to all:

There are GOOD SHIPS

and there are WOOD SHIPS

Like the Mayflower that sailed the sea,

But the BEST SHIPS are

FRIENDSHIPS

and may they ALWAYS BE!

The group assembled to board the float.

The Mayflower Compact 

Celebrating 400 years in the 2020 Rose Parade with their float; 

"The Voyage of Hope 1620" 

General Society of Mayflower Descendants 

The General Society of Mayflower Descendants, GSMD, is committed to research on the lineal descent of the Mayflower Pilgrims and education about the Pilgrims who traveled aboard the Mayflower in 1620. The Society provides education and understanding of why the Mayflower Pilgrims were important, how they shaped western civilization, and what their 1620 voyage and its impact on the world means today. 

Here today on the 1st of January 2020 from all across the country traveling on this voyage who are committed to furthering our mission and who have signed this compact; 

The original compact signed 11 November 1620 by the men of the Mayflower talked about the Glory of God and the advancements of the Christian faith, establishing laws, ordinances and constitutions for the general good of the Colony. It was the precursor to the Constitution which governs us yet today. The Compact we sign today, signed by the men and the women who rode the Mayflower float, Voyage of Hope -1620, in the Rose Parade signifies the dedication we as GSMD members solemnly take to each other, to our 1620 ancestors, and to God and Country, for this voyage would have not been possible without them.
