Since most of the characters in my novels are plain folk, I appreciate you sharing their traditional garb by roaming the streets of Williamsburg and clicking photos. It was quite informative.

We had such fun talking with folks the day Cynthia and I visited CW for an article that we could quickly get up for the Mother of the Bride, Cynthia.

I haven't been to Williamsburg in 20 years when I chaperoned my son's high school trip. But I daydream about going back.
