There have been enough people move here that it is getting less and less every year. We got a tour of an old Southern estate where the people who live there go to our church. Her father was once a Senator to the State and her husband was the Chief of Protocol for Pres. Carter. At dinner she was telling us how she remembered being raised by their slaves...wow....not that a lot of Northerners didn't have slaves (Lincoln for example!!) but I had never known anyone who actually owned another person. Anyway, we got to see the slave quarters, where the pump house was and the slaves would stand outside and pump water and it would run into the house via a trough (long before indoor plumbing). The ice house, where they stored ice from the pond for the summer. 400 year old oak trees, the smoke house, etc., I gotta say it was one of the most educational and interesting evenings I have ever had.
