Another Mess

This is the coffee cup that Prince and Art got for being Squires.

I really like the statement on the back of the cup.

This shot glass was wrapped in the black tissue paper and it was inside the cup.

The front of the key ring that was inside the shot glass.

Leaving the Visitor Center to go for some lunch at Miss Bobos and this was rather interesting way to display the barrel and flowers.

Heading down the steps I looked to the left and saw one of the many half barrel planters that grace the grounds.

This is the house right across the road from Miss Bobos.

Walk to the edge of the front porch on the left side looking up. Those folks in that home have a great view of Lynchburg. Don't ya just love the rolling green hills and the blue sky?

Above the front door of Miss Bobos. There were several people waiting for their group to be called.

These roses sat on a little table on the front porch with brochures and a book to sign.

Mr. Roger Breshears knew Art and he entertained us with stories about Mulberry Creek and Miss Bobos when it was a boarding house. The parlor where we sat had been his bedroom that he rented from her. He was one of the last boarder. (note: Mr. Roger's photo is on the wall at the visitor center)

This is the famous add when Miss Bobo had a significant "Burpday" that appeared in various national magazines. Her request to Art was that in the proper tradition, that for each card received a hand written note was to be mailed. The response was more than expected and two ladies worked for months on those hand written Thank You notes.

This photo was on the wall as you go outside on the back porch. It and the following were side by side and I thought of Mary as her postcard collection reminded me of these ladies.

A hostess sits with each group at Miss Bobos and give you a little history as the food is eaten. Our hostess was Jane and the only photo I took of her, she closed her eyes. We were upstairs and we took the elevator up as Char hips was hurting.

Before the food is served, starting on the left of the hostess, each person tells their name and where they were from. Our table had folks from Alabama, Colorado and Tennessee. Then a killer lunch is served by the Motlow College students who are there on scholarships. We had fried chicken, pork roast, corn, green beans, fried okra, fried apples favored with Jack Daniels, rice and cheese casserole and tiny muffins. Water and ice tea were our beverages. Next came chess pie and coffee.

Time to unbutton our pants and take a nap.

We did not visit the square and check out the shops . The Kitty Justice is we will have to go back. I'm ready how about Y'all?
