As an intimate of an ardent Jefferson scholar, his éclat has become ineludible. In celebration of our Founding Fathers today, an amuse-bouche to whet your desire from Mr. Jefferson himself.

Lovely image. We wanted to go to Charlottesville ourself for the weekend but tried to make arrangements much too late, every hotel was booked! We stayed here in town instead and just treated ourselves to many meals eaten out!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Charlottesville for the day a few months back, but sadly didn't have time to tour Monticello! It's on the top of my list for next time I'm down that way! Ohh and fantastic quote---I may have to use it one of these days : ) XO
