I thought you might like to see a bit of carpet from the past.
We went to historic Galena, Illinois and toured (then) General Ulysses S. Grant's home.
I was fascinated by the carpet and the pottery.
It turns out Galena Pottery is quite valuable! Don't buy the green pottery! It has a higher concentration of lead in it... (YIKES!)
I'll be hibernating with my disconnected laptop and my research for the next few weeks. I'm not sure how much I'll be around, as I'll have to drive a bit to get Internet...Hopefully, you'll miss me as much as I miss you!
Are you planning any writing retreats this summer?
