My hubby read it before I could, and informed me we need to make a road trip! Thanks for sharing all the pictures above, along with a little more history! We most certainly would like to visit the Shirley Plantation some day.<br /><br />Betti<br />bettimace(at)gmail(dot)comBettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645337615635154815noreply@blogger.com
