Yessss, another item checked off of my bucket list! We spent the day at Colonial Williamsburg. It's amazing the things you can learn from history. I didn't know mortar was made with sand and shells. Our forefathers would cook oyster shells and various seashells overnight, cool them and pound them into a powder, add sand and water and wa-la mortar. We learned about herbal medicines, maybe we should use more of this. Of course we saw all the usual basket weaving, candle making, glass blowing, gardening with heirloom seeds. I can't imagine working in all that clothes. I would like to have some of their recipes The most amazing experience for me was sitting in the church that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson attended. A cemetery surrounded the church with most of the graves above ground. It was a wonderful step back into history.
