Hi, Victoria!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks Cote. Glad you liked it.

[Aquamarine]

I have been to Virginia several times in the past, usually when I was passing through on my way to a visit in D.C. I would love to do the tourist thing there one day and Williamsburg would be at the top of my list of places to see.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Great people, indeed. Thanks for your post, Sam.

[Pippin]

I agree. You can't have something so memorable happen in an area without some sense that that memory still lingers.

My mother has a theory that these ghosts are the thoughts and memories of all that was said or done in a given place.

[Aquamarine]

Good find SAM. You are in Top form today!

[SAMWolf]

LOL! No 2x4?

We all loved Williamsburg...loved all the old homes, with period furniture, and decorations, loved watching the people perform all the tasks that had to be performed way back when...loved watching the crafts people, doing crafts, as done then...

One thing especially remains in my memory, of being shown how they cooked over fireplaces, and how if you wanted to bake, you place your prepared ingredients in a big old cast iron implement, set it on hot coals, and then covered it with hot coals, creating a little sort of 'oven'...but of course, someone had to man the fireplace and constantly keep changing those coals, when they died down, they had to be replaced...what a hot job that must have been in the muggy heat of Virginia...

Now we are lucky to be able to bake in our gas or electric ovens, with the air conditioning running, if it is needed...makes you appreciate our modern conveniences...

Thanks for the tunes - sounding great here. JL

I just find it hard to believe patsy was not included on the original list. That's a huge oversight on someone's part.

The mace can be traced back to the Egyptians too. The English were not alone in using its symbology.

This detail from two adjacent blocks found at Hermopolis shows a very different aspect of Nefertiti, within a small cabin at the stern of the ship, smiting a captive with upraised mace
Boston Museum

He is depicted swinging a mace, as he subdues his captives.
Gives you something to think about in the use of the mace in symbology doesn't it.
The Senate...the mace...

[Pippin]

You want her to get the 2x4?

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL! I'll give you a break today.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

[Victoria Delsoul]

Naw, not today. Let's give him a break, LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're quite welcome.

[Pippin]

OKAY! He deserves a break!

[Sabertooth]

Nice to bump into you.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the Coffee, Mayor. Good to see you.
