A pleasant bonus of journaling the restoration has been all the lovely and encouraging comments I have received from several of my readers. Particularly special are the comments liking me to my paternal grandfather who passed away 22 years ago. You see, while I always adored my grandfather, I never saw that we had a single thing in common.
"You are so your grandfather."
Your Grandfather's "favorite pastime in Richmond was going to Caravati's. Mr. Caravati was living at the time."
Warms my heart.
I miss you Granddaddy!
