NELLIE BRYANT
Dressing Up
My name Nellie Bryant I was born and raised in South Carolina, and moved to NYC many years ago. I had many different jobs before I started working for a telephone company. After I retired from the company, I worked for New York Foundling Mother and Child Care. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I felt like getting dressed up and walking around in my house. My first outfit is a black and white hat and a two piece white suit. My second outfit is a white hat and a black two piece suit.
I joined the Castle Hill Senior Center to have somewhere to go. I enjoy being active and doing different things like making latch hook rugs and pillows. I also started helping with the lunch service at the Senior Center and communicating with the people there. Since COVID-19, I miss all of that.
This picture of my grandmother was taken in the late 1950’s- she had a stroke from the time I knew her, but she was the best and the most loving grandmother you could find. My nephew is about 8 years old in this picture. My aunt and I were on vacation in Hawaii. I loved to travel with her because she was a lot of fun.
