See that bubble-type thing? I have NO idea what it is! It’s not a sun flare and it wasn’t physically there when I took the picture and was not present on any other picture. Hmmmmm…..
Do you know why a lot of churches have a red door? I don’t. Let me know or I’ll google it.
Their dining area is fit for a king. It looks like a scene out of Southern Living.
There’s the governor. I feel sad every time I see him. His family must be hurting so much because of his actions.
Now that is some crown moulding!
There were many beautiful fabrics in the home.
The piano is filled with pictures of the Sanford family. Makes me sad. Did I already mention that?

See the columns? They are monolithic, meaning they came from one stone and are in one piece. Cool!
That is a faux-finish for the dome.
I had never seen real, live lobbyists in a lobby.
This is an old, old piece of stained glass mosaic art with the motto “Prepared in Mind and Resources” on it.
It was hot. Like, really hot. Charlie and a friend took a break in the shade.
Ahhhhh, can you smell that sweet fragrance?
There are many magnolia trees on the grounds. Their enormous flowers amaze me.
In the end, a good time was had by all. We learned a lot and the kids were happy to be on a field trip.

Your photos are stunning! The hydrangea photos just make me happy. Do you ever share 'cause I would love to use it for awhile as screen saver?
ReplyDeleteanyway keep up the good work!
I'm glad it makes you happy! Please take the picture and use it as a screen saver!
ReplyDeleteSo many great shots!!!
ReplyDeleteA lot of churches do have red doors! My initial guess is that it harkens back to the original passover and symbolizes the blood of an innocent lamb/Jesus that was shed to save us.
