Your story had me captivated, Maggie! What a great place to tour, its magnificent. And it all started with a lord trying to make his lady happy! I wonder what has happened to all of the adopted children. I have to get that book!!<br /><br />Thanks for your visit! Have you met Mary before? She is just lovely and her husband Bob is so fun to be with. I have been so busy and then tired, I feel a little guilty for not posting yet. Traveling wears me out! Back to Chicago tomorrow. I miss my pups!!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-6227703804827701752016-07-30T08:29:16.141-07:002016-07-30T08:29:16.141-07:00What a fabulous post, Maggie!
