Happy end of the week, friends! I hope you are well.Less than twenty-four hours after getting back home, I was headed out to celebrate my dear friend Tammy's birthday at the historic General Morgan Inn. Tammy has been through so many health hardships and struggles, yet she smiles and presses on with love and compassion in her heart. She is a generous and caring friend. The General Morgan Inn is a delight to the eye: the stately ironwork, the coffered ceilings, the ... Read More about For the Love of Lamp Lights – The General Morgan Inn
