I love the Selma-reminds me so much of the mansions in Natchez, Ms. In fact, the mansion reminds me of the Rosalee-where Gone With The Wind was filmed. I remember how tangible the atmosphere was at the old plantations-you could almost visualize the Southern Bells walking down the steps. What a shame that no on, including the historical society has renovated it and used it for income. So beautiful! Hope you have a fantastic day!<br />Hugs,<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-8549923043378329162016-02-21T10:41:34.167-05:002016-02-21T10:41:34.167-05:00Hello, I am so happy to hear Jake is doing better....Hello, I am so happy to hear Jake is doing better.

Your TLC has healing powers!<br /><br />That estate reminds me of a place that my best friend and I used to play when I was in late elementary school. It was an abandoned mansion that looked so much like that one. But it was private property, and we even once got caught by the police there... who just gave us a stern talking to (that had no effect because we were so fascinated by the abandoned mansion).<br /><br />I hope that Selma is saved, and I hope that sweet Jake continues to flourish!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-49769355651190969922016-02-20T19:27:24.509-05:002016-02-20T19:27:24.509-05:00I am soo glad to hear that Jake is doing well .
