Mr Chris… the first piece of expensive hard case bought by Chinese immigrants was a Grand father Clock, 1990! The sound of the clock set the rhythm of the house for 24/7;365… very important to the Chinese!

Thanks for the video. That was a beautiful house. I'll freeze it to take a greater look at all those beautiful antiques! LOL You mentioned Turn did some filming there. My son lives in Spotsylvania but works as a PF in Henrico. He worked as an extra for that series. His costumes were great! I think he caught himself in one of the segments. You would have been fabulous for some of that filming, too! Love your grasp of history and bringing it to everyone!

Now Mr Chris… you are showing me… what I remember from my “Childhood”… Lord Knows, I was banished into the “Country” by a NYC “Doctor” who told my father… Her broken leg will never heel of you keep,her in NYC…take her to your Cabin and leave her there eight weeks! So the next year… when I hurt my other ankle… guess who never told her father? I learned how to tape and heel myself… only so as not to miss all the GGrand Balls in NYC… Are you laughing? I hope so NJ
