That actually looked very similar to my taste. <BR/><BR/>We went on a tour of historic homes last weekend too. People live in them though so I didn't have the nerve to take pictures. I'm so glad you did. :)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-40602509175481697742008-12-11T01:13:00.000-05:002008-12-11T01:13:00.000-05:00Oh Debbie you know I am doing my Happy dance girl ...Oh Debbie you know I am doing my Happy dance girl !!!

I wanted to say...you are invited to the cookie party if you can come. The two neighbors who are co hosting with me told me to invite friends. I've been too busy to do that but if you'd like to come, let me know. It's the kind where you back 5 dozen for some cookie and then swap and take a bunch of different kinds of cookies home. Plus, bring an ornament wrapped...we do a quick little fun ornament exchange. You can skip the cookie thing if you don't have time. Love to meet you!

I believe that will be May 1,2 and 3. They also have night tours during that time with additional homes that you can't see during the day. Ohhhh... it's so worth the trip! And such a charming little town! There are also some nice antique shops and good restaurants. Tell me before you go, and I'll give you the heads-up on those places.

I was trying to think what to post and I read how you like blue and white plates on a yellow wall...read my post today. It will be dedicated to you today.

I had it, in my mind, North of Atlanta. DH straightened me out. He says we can get there without getting involved in Atlanta traffic. I definitely would like to go on their next tour. Do you know when it is? You have whetted my appetite for more. The pictures were first rate and your docent style descriptions were perfect. I had a wonderful tour through you, but can hardly wait to see it in the flesh.
