What wonderful homes these are!! We spend a lot of time in Charleston and in Savannah and enjoy the beauty of these grand old cities. Never get tired of the lovely homes and wonderful architecture, but time now to broaden our horizons with a trip to Natchez.<BR/><BR/>and now I'm going to skadoodle on to see what I can see in this wonderful painting. <BR/><BR/>I'm loving all this!

What a great ghost story that was.<BR/>On the painting....if I'm looking at computer screen, did you mean on my right? Because "I" see either a man or a woman, very clearly, near the hearth and that other woman in the painting. Maybe it's supposed to be there? lol And that's not what you meant.<BR/>At any rate, great post.

I kept seeing my own reflection on the computer screen. <BR/><BR/>What stunning homes! And the pink flower color is so satisfying to the eye. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't want to sleep with ghosts...especially ones that want me to behave in a certain manner or they will punish me with a tune. Great story idea! <BR/><3Cynthia Pittmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12656761837022197235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-79762955387128919012009-04-05T06:06:00.000-05:002009-04-05T06:06:00.000-05:00Everyone of those houses is a like a little teacak...Everyone of those houses is a like a little teacake.Sherry Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726546858806312275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-52143804261782012672009-04-04T22:15:00.000-05:002009-04-04T22:15:00.000-05:00What character these homes exude.I fell in love wi...What character these homes exude.<BR/>I fell in love with them all !<BR/>Natchez looks like one beautiful historic southern city...<BR/>So interesting about the ghost story...hmmm.<BR/>Glad you had a wonderful trip Carol.A Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-64517659335522181302009-04-04T22:14:00.000-05:002009-04-04T22:14:00.000-05:00I tried very hard (well, as hard as I can while wa...I tried very hard (well, as hard as I can while watching the TarHeel game), but I can't see the other lady. I'll look again tomorrow when I've had a little less excitement and wine!<BR/><BR/>I loved all the photographs and the stories as well. I am always moved to be in the presence of houses so old and with such rich histories.
