All I have is the camera, but there are so many places you'd just love.<br /><br />GJ-MM is definitely doing a tour for Blog Fest. Definitely.<br /><br />Annie-Me too - wish you could see it in person. I'm still holding out hope you'll be able to make it to this side of the world for Blog Fest.<br /><br />AM-YOU WALKED 26 MILES ON SATURDAY FOR A GOOD CAUSE. You are not going to jail. <br /><br />MM-Yes, we do need to get back to work. Don't underestimate yourself - you are very photogenic. Your idea of 2 blog fest tours is excellent. You will have gobs of ladies fighting for a seat in the car...we might need to reserve a Bay Transit-mobile.<br /><br />Meg-These are so ugly, but so comfortable (the flip flops, that is) and they were like $3.00 in the very back of a clearance bin at the equivalent of Rack Room Shoes. LOVE them (but they are ugly).<br /><br />KD-Excellent idea. If I can remember I'll take a shot of them and put them up, but someone will have to remind me. You will not believe them, seriously. Brown and PINK plaid, high-heeled. Flip flops.<br /><br />BHE- Way to go for finding Lucky a home, girl. I told my mother about that and she was thrilled.<br /><br />daryl-Mathews Mark will definitely be able to get you back to these places for photos, and you won't be sorry. They are spectacular, flip flops or no.<br /><br />deborah-the day was perfect for photos. No humidity, perfect sunlight. May tends to be the best month of the year for lush greenery, low humidity and minimal hazards--unless one is wearing high-heeled flip flops.<br /><br />foolery-I have not one, but TWO pair of motorcycle boots if you need them while you're here. Bring your Dr. Scholls - they'll come in handy here. (Hold up well in mud. Cow pies too, so I am told.)<br /><br />NNG-He is. You'll love talking to him.<br /><br />Bethie-Thank you, that means a great deal given that most days I can't believe the stuff I toss up here and pass off for a blog. Thank you for reading and commenting. <br /><br />Ashley-Those stories have been told for so many years that there has to be some grain of truth, no matter how far fetched it may seem. (That's my philosophy, anyway.) The last encounter I heard happened in the 1980s - haven't heard anything more recent. If you do, please write about it and let us know. Your 100 + year old house sounds wonderful.<br /><br />CG-You would have an absolute field day with the tour he took me on. Seriously. (High-heeled flip flops are optional though they do tend to detract from the overall photographic experience.)<br /><br />Thanks, all, for commenting. It means a lot after a long day.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-18008367988421796502010-05-24T21:30:22.559-04:002010-05-24T21:30:22.559-04:00I am signing on for both tours and especially like...I am signing on for both tours and especially like the idea of the illegal one.<br />I will definitely have proper footwear.

I am told I...Autumnforest are you good with ghosts? I am told I have one in my house, would love to find out more on that.<br /><br />I think a ghost tour would be awesome. As I mentioned to CBW we have those many stories about Old House Woods, and I am a firm believer in these things, but I have heard SO many different things about it. My kids drive me nuts with this stuff. I have only lived in Mathews county since last September and love all the old houses, mine is over 100 years old and I think these things are fascinating.~Ashley~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02478958205892716687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-22964857195922856212010-05-24T14:53:07.258-04:002010-05-24T14:53:07.258-04:00I so enjoy reading your blog from way over in here...I so enjoy reading your blog from way over in here in Yorktown! ;)Bethiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901942855461654008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-45663744840803715582010-05-24T14:15:16.627-04:002010-05-24T14:15:16.627-04:00That MM is something!

I don't remember if it was ever attached to a building - it probably was, when the house was built around the time of the Civil War. I'll ask my mom.
