George Washington even stopped in Salisbury to sleep when traveling. Salisbury is also famous for Krispy Kreme doughnuts and cheerwine. The Honorable Elizabeth Dole calls Salisbury home. My community of Bear Poplar was so named because a bear was seen climbing the poplar tree way back in the late 1700's.

Did you by chance take some pictures upon your return? Do you have pictures of the home place when you were a child? My, my I could keep going and going and going with questions. Just let me know if you would like to be featured. Hope the answer is 'yes'!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592703953660880527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910520855356350996.post-70059966252645863022013-08-13T21:34:26.322-04:002013-08-13T21:34:26.322-04:00Leanne, thank you for sharing such insightful sent...Leanne, thank you for sharing such insightful sentiments!

Our old home is still there, quite unchanged even though every other house on the street (except the one next to ours,as it was torn down to create a parking space) had been updated and 'gentrified.' But ours, built in the 1700's, once the only house on the street, and very dissimilar to all of the triple deckers that fill the street shoulder to shoulder, still stands proudly next to the Presbyterian Church that has expanded in size through the centuries. The house once held a doctor, and the street now bears his name. Some day I will research, to find out whether he was a medical doctor (as we believed as children) or a ministerial doctor. I wonder how long the old house will remain unchanged. I cannot worry about that, for we left that house almost fifty years ago...Someone else must be caring about it now.Quilters' Quartershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164862226942626710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910520855356350996.post-40938250547570180982013-08-13T18:45:31.907-04:002013-08-13T18:45:31.907-04:00Wow, even though we live in different countries I ...Wow, even though we live in different countries I found so many similarities: no fancy res truants just good food, no teen hang out, no cinema (although we have had a few island movie nights) and I think we're tied for the best people on earth. <br />Mayne Island is about the size of Manhattan but with far less shopping and far more sheep. If you're sailing on B.C. ferries from the British Columbia mainland to Vancouver Island changes are you'll dock at Mayne Island. We're so peaceful that our one and only jail is a museum. Although, it wasn't always this way. Mayne Island has a sorted past. In fact, in years past its nickname was 'Little Hell'. I've been a happy islander since 1999--and I never plan to leave.
