Stop in for a cup of coffee

Chilly day out walking around downtown Charleston but dressed warmly it was fine...saw the Powder Magazine, the oldest public building in S.C, Charles Towne was just a settlement when it was built, really cool to learn how gun powder really works. We also went to the Heyward House, the oldest home you can tour, George Washington stayed there for a week. After the great earthquake they had to cut the floor around the stairs so the first step is really low now. Charleston had some of the best cabinet makers and there is the Holmes-Edwards bookcase that is priceless, even the feet have inlays in the wood. So many things we use today, were only for the very wealthy...chairs...forks...a teacup cost $800 in todays money. Average people ate sitting on benches at a board on trestles and just used a knife.

I picked up the Fury, turn signals don't slow down now with the new alternator...exhaust tightened so it's nice and quiet, new idler arm but it binds on right turns so it's going back in the morning. We all know old car ownership is not for the impatient.
Nice. That is also the reason why a tea cup and saucer along with a silver serving spoon were among my grandmothers prized possessions. I always wondered why she held them so dear until she explained it to me.
