living like the windsors in americus

so, in case you don't know, i kinda like posh.
i'm the kind of person
who finds glamping appealing.
although i do have an affinity
for motels
(provided they are neat as pins,
don't reek of smoke,
& feel unquestionably safe),
i'll pick a fancy historic hotel
at the drop of a bonnet.
breakfast a deux at Rosemary&Thyme, while teenagers slumbered
 so when i was looking at places to stay
near Plains, Georgia,
i nearly swooned when i came upon
 originally built in 1892
& renovated in the 1990's,
i am a sucker for impressive,
wood-grained lobbies.
the floor is made of marble from Cortona, Italy - one of the towns we visited long ago!
 we didn't spend too much time
in Americus or at the hotel,
but what little we did
was very enjoyable.
our J.W. Harris found his building!
where Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter
had their first date.

family selfies
(post-Sunday service)
now, back to the past
for the next post.
