I would have loved to be there. 'Low Clearance' on the a tree - love that they let it grow. That tree has seen so much of that town's history for sure. The pottery is so pretty and precise - neat that you got to see some of the process. You know I love the beagles!!! :) And, good choice of one to buy - I love the color.Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-65068481478455053902013-05-21T03:06:30.211-04:002013-05-21T03:06:30.211-04:00Eating your way through Ocean Springs.

She has memories from her childhood with time spent with an aunt and uncle who taught her how to cook the best fried shrimp in the South (even if I say so myself). Both of us are now eager to visit having read further of your adventures while viewing all the many beautiful pictures. Love your woodpecker cup and its beautiful colors! Will visit the website for Shearwater Pottery and hopefully have the chance to see more of their work. Prior to your visit, had you read about Walter Anderson's work? What an artist he was, having produced so many treasures. As always, thanks for sharing!<br />Anne Humphreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004557222507338963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-37950430251375174672013-05-20T13:10:31.217-04:002013-05-20T13:10:31.217-04:00I want a donut and a pastry and a cream soda now. ...I want a donut and a pastry and a cream soda now.

You will laugh, but years ago we stopped in the port of St. Barts while on a cruise. The only shop we visited and bought stuff from was the French pastry shop! Clothes, perfumes, jewelry...meh. Give me the pastry!!<br />LOVE putting those new "stayed in states" stickers too!!<br />Old fashioned cream soda...oh!!<br />Thanks so much, you've made my day :-)Al and Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991509802471213755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-63094600262891839342013-05-20T11:46:29.749-04:002013-05-20T11:46:29.749-04:00Thanks to you, I have fallen in love with Ocean Sp...Thanks to you, I have fallen in love with Ocean Springs. I love wandering around small towns and discovering gems like old drugstores and French bakeries. Visiting the pottery shop and watching it be made would also appeal to me. If I had real bookshelves, those pelican bookends would be on my must-have list. Your hummingbird mug is pretty special too! Safe travels.

It's a much loved and cared for tree in the heart of downtown. The following is something I pulled up on the internet about it. Even Eisenhower was impressed by it!<br /><br />The Big Oak - 326 Years Old<br />Located in the historic town of Thomasville, GA is a huge, live oak tree that is approximately 326 years old. Of course, this would make it a witness to the Revolutionary War! The tree is quite grand, has a 24 foot circumference and is so impressive that President Eisenhower personally took its photograph.<br /><br />The town's historic commission has worked hard to preserve this wonderful witness to history!<br /><br />I'm glad David is doing well and that you got to add another state to your map. I guess you haven't figured out how to get his treatments on the road? I envy you going back to VA though. I'd love to be sitting in the foothills in your beautiful property!Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-4715240860072143052013-05-20T07:46:05.941-04:002013-05-20T07:46:05.941-04:00Obviously, we're going to have to make another...Obviously, we're going to have to make another stop in Ocean Springs someday.

I'm very happy for you and David. I smiled looking at the aqua and sand pottery, that you say is your favorite, because I have a piece that is almost identical to it. It's the piece Rich and I bought in Dahlonega.<br /><br />As always I love your ability to live each moment to its fullest; and then share those moments.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371157074687319596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-46912859548417800622013-05-19T22:47:11.364-04:002013-05-19T22:47:11.364-04:00Now I desperately need to visit a local donut shop...Now I desperately need to visit a local donut shop tomorrow morning.
