Time for a field trip to Fort Hill

What a beautiful day!  The sun is shinning and it is 61 degrees outside
My DH is plowing a garden this afternoon!  After all the snow and rain,
we decided to get out and take a field trip together this morning.










One of our favorite places to visit is the historic home, Fort Hill, in
Clemson, SC.  I was trying to explain to my DH that I wanted to
decorate our guest room like one of the bedrooms restored in Fort Hill.
He couldn't visualize what I was saying so he suggested we take the
drive.  Fort Hill was home to John C. Calhoun's family and Thomas
Clemson's family.  It is beautifully restored. I'm sorry I forgot my
camera this morning.  After touring the home, I realized the room in
my memory was not there.

Then, on the long drive back, I remembered the room I was thinking
about had been in my grandma's house. :-)  I was embarrassed to tell
DH I had mixed up the memories, but he just laughed.  I think he is
getting used to me mixing up memories.  It was a nice day for a drive,
anyway!

Grandma's house burned years ago.  Wish we could visit again.













Now, time for me to get outside in the sunshine and get to work!  Hope you have a great week!
Love,
Lottie

  1. I can't remember things the same way others do either. What a wonderful trip to take. We had warm temps too and we did not get to work in the yard, but we did make plans for Spring.
