Yesterday I posted about the former Governor's Mansion in Milledgeville,  today I'd like to share a little about the actual old Capitol Building. It's current on the campus of Georgia Military College, but also houses a wonderful museum.  Milledgeville Georgia- County Seat of Baldwin County that borders beautiful Lake Sinclair was THE ONLY city ever built exclusively to be a state capital.  I'm sure many of you might have know that Atlanta Georgia was not always our capital.  Milledgeville Georgia served as the capital from 1808 to 1868.  You can tour the former Governor's mansion which also at one time served as the residence for the dean of Georgia State College and University.   You can also tour the Old Capital Museum which is now located on the campus of Georgia Military College. M...

Donald and I wandered around the old car show at the Deep Roots festival yesterday.  I saw an old chevy like my parents used to have, a 67 Camero like my friend David ... that was riding it when it caught on fire and yeah, it was toast.  Donald, he saw this former Military Police Hummer that is now GA state Patrol.  He was smitten.  They go way back! If you missed the Deep Roots Festival, you missed a great time.  Hope to see you there next year.

It's a rare occassion that I get to just wander around downtown Milledgeville for any length of time.  Yesterday Donald and I enjoyed a morning out at the Deep Roots Festival and we did just that, enjoy some time strolling around.  And of course we had to hit the GMC campus. Georgia Military College has been in Milledgeville since 1879. However, before that this beautiful building was the 4th State Capitol of Georgia in the 1800s for a period of 60 years.

My Donald got us some great veggies last week and he got himself some beef ribs. There are SO many reasons to shop at a local Farmer's Market that I don't know where to begin. freshness of product supporting local farmers knowing stock is grass fed knowing eggs come from free range chickens keeping our dollars in the local economy doing business with your neighbors I hope the weather cooperates in August. It's been a very strange July with cooler and wetter conditions than we're used to seeing. The location is the Presbyterian Church                            210 South Wayne Street Fall Line Farmers Market has a web page on Facebook you can "LIKE" to keep up with what's happening next and check out who the vendors will be.  Perhaps as time goes on it will grow and more vendors will par...

I bet most of you could guess that Georgia's state song is Georgia on my mind, but the other bit of "trivia" that I am going to share with you today I bet none of you will actually have known this before you read it.  If any of you did, let me know.  I'll be surprised, but of course I'll take your word for it. Milledgeville Georgia- County Seat of Baldwin County that borders beautiful Lake Sinclair was THE ONLY city ever built exclusively to be a state capital.  I'm sure many of you might have know that Atlanta Georgia was not always our capital.  Milledgeville Georgia served as the capital from 1808 to 1868.  You can tour the former Governor's mansion which also at one time served as the residence for the dean of Georgia State College and University.   You can also tour the Old Capital...
