Revisiting Savannah

May 5, 2021 By D'Ann Mateer

Savannah, Georgia, was always one of the places I wanted to visit during my lifetime. Mostly this stemmed from my love of Eugenia Price’s books.

Antique Quilts

April 1, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

A couple weeks ago, my daughter and I got together for a Girls' Getaway Weekend in Waco, TX. Now that Bethany is pursuing her PhD At Texas A&M, I miss seeing her on a regular basis. So we've made a pact to get together for one weekend each semester. And because she's the one family member who is as big of a history nerd as I am, we always find a way to work in historical places to stay and … [Read more...]
