The Holy Grail
To those of you who have religiously followed my collecting of women wearing glasses, you know that the Holy Grail of my search has been a photograph of nuns wearing glasses. (All puns intended.)
Well, the moment has arrived and I wanted to share it with you. I have found nuns wearing glasses. Aren't they beautiful?
There is a tremendous amount of research to do. The habits, what order, the crosses, what's on the table, etc., but I could not wait to share my find with you!

It is indeed, the Holy Grail. Awesome!
Sheri Love - How are you?
You are one of the people who know what this means to me. Now from Little Orphan Annie to Nuns in glasses, I've just about covered the spectrum!
Yes, I feel a book coming on! Yahoo!
In no small measure thanks to you my friend.

What a neat photo. I love the background and props. Good luck in your research.
Terri:
As a good Lutheran girl, I'm going to have to ask my Catholic friends for help. Love their habits.

This is indeed wonderful, the Trifecta however would be nuns with guns with glasses. I think Sheri would agree with me on this.
Thomas:
You directing so many of us to Hell today. I will need a "Get Out Of Card" from Sheri.

OMG, you found a photo of Motha and I. Oh, wait, that photo would be nuns with martini glasses!

I'm ok, just getting used to different and trying to catch up. It's the 'catch up' part that's hard. LOL
I am waiting for that book! You better tell me the day it is available.
I keep my eyes open all the time! There must be something left?
Donna:
Still need to check what's on the table! Is that a shaker I spy in the shape of a saint?

Sheri:
I truly understand - life!
You will be the first to know about the book!
And, I've found something else interesting and will be posting after Jamboree. Adding it to the weird, strange, and unusual.

Maybe nuns with buns would be easier to find than ones with guns? Hot cross buns come to mind... :)
Nuns with buns, yes Carol, probably far easier.

I love the picture and your puns are funny.
Can't wait to hear the rest of the story.
What a great photo in such remarkable condition!
Beautiful. Congratulations on the find.
Can't wait to read what the research turns up. Great photo,
Luv it! Congrats!
That is a wonderful, amazing find! I am so happy for you and look forward to reading all about it when you discover its secrets -
OMG! It is Sista Donner and I ! LOL You can make holy cards out of this photo fM! Thomas is right, they look a little naked without rifles in their hands!
gotta say...amazing...you have the eye!
So glad you found one. Holy Grail indeed.

Can't tell if you learned that this is a picture of two members of the Sisters of Charity, Grey Nuns, of Montreal. Founded by Marguerite D'Youville, they have a province headquarters in Lexington Massachusetts. If you want to know more, let me know.
