Time traveling...

An acquaintance of dad's asked him to paint a picture of his house. It just so happens it is a fabulous old antebellum house that I have wanted to see for ages. We were able to go and visit and take photos. It was like going back in time.



The old slave quarter is still intact, and the fellow has restored it inside.





Outside he had 80 acres of golden tobacco and an old shed overgrown with ripening grapes.





There was even a wonderfully friendly dog named Speckles! It was a delightful afternoon.
