I have T-Shirts from Mitchell Hardware, and I have some beautiful photos of that Methodist church. I used to dream of being married there, when I was younger. I don't know if it interests you, but the cemetaries in New Bern are a great place to do tombstone rubbings. I have some beautiful ones that I want to get framed, but my husband says they are morbid. Maaan, now I wanna take a trip up there, just for the food!Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323639458968826644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-71971901814682665952011-04-12T09:28:50.839-04:002011-04-12T09:28:50.839-04:00What a coincidence: we were visiting DC at the sam...What a coincidence: we were visiting DC at the same time, and we walked around the Tidal Basin on Monday afternoon.

Isn't it just the perfect little town? Right on the water and only 30 minutes from the nearest beach! Had I known you were around town--seeing Christ Church and going to Mitchell Hardware--I probably would have gone all stalkery and tried to find you (with a CCC in tow). <br /><br />I had no idea the Gjertsen's had moved here--didn't even realize they had a new blog. Turns out, they live quite close to me. So sorry to hear of their loss--such sweet people shouldn't have to endure such pain.<br /><br />Hope you visit our little town again soon--perhaps a second book and a new book tour? We'd love to have you back!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831279459931006745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-47961554875990182092011-04-07T21:11:13.062-04:002011-04-07T21:11:13.062-04:00Copper Ballcock...(he he he)
