Blessings for Charleston in the wake of their tragedy.

Old Courthouse Museum, Vicksburg, Mississippi, U. S. A.

There are several gorgeous old pianos at the
Old Courthouse Museum, Vicksburg, Mississippi, U. S. A.

Some are in great shape, but this one above has some wear.

Others were in much better shape.

What an awesome experience to stand next to these huge pillars and imagine what it must have been like to live in a home such as this.  The home survived the Civil War by being occupied by the Union Army, just to burn down in 1890 from a carelessly thrown cigarette.

The sky was disappointing the day we were there, but the websites below have some better shots.

We took a short trip to Vicksburg and Natchez, Mississippi in December.  The Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg has a lot of history and memorabilia.  Visit if you can.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins

Once again, I post something very old and beautiful that is definitely not rubbish.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins, near Beaufort, South Carolina.

I have included the Wikipedia link, but I recommend Googling it as there are several other informative sites about the ruins.

A Barn Collective message

Barn lovers, I'm going to skip The Barn Collective this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  I know everyone will be busy and I am two weeks behind on visiting your entries.  

It will return the Sunday night following Thanksgiving.

Thank you for your participation thus far!

Have a great holiday week!

It is very strange seeing that water color in the middle of the dessert.

Use my label "Arizona" for more.
