A walk and lots of movies

The flowers in front of this house are always so pretty! Would you like to go about the city with us today?

Just step carefully..........look at this sidewalk! LOL

OOOOOPS--here's another one! MERCY!

Magnolias are now in full bloom and the crepe myrtles are starting to bloom out

Greenery tumbles down all over the walls and gates

The leaves on this one are SO BIG!

a glimpse into a secret garden........

.......and a look at my fringed hippie pocketbook! ha ha LOL

of all my "hippie chick" pocketbooks, I think this one has the longest fringe! ha ha

Let's go take a closer look at these big windowboxes

they are always beautiful and are different every year. I'm not sure if the owners take care of them of if the Window Box Ladies do them

Beads Today.......this beaded necklace was sent to me as a birthday present a few years ago

We can walk over to the Calhoun Mansion too.....

This is an amazing old mansion. Every time I walk by I remember Kirstie Alley standing up there on that balcony for a movie scene. She played the role of "Virgilia" in The North and the South t/v mini series.

I love the mosaic sidewalks out front, so pretty!

Lights are coming on in homes........it's time to go in. Maybe enjoy a good movie?

"Dinner and a movie"

If any of the movies you see look good to you I'm sure you can find them on your movie stations, at your libraries, or just order them from amazon maybe.
Not everybody enjoys these old movies but we do!
