Catawba, NC – 2018JUL08 – Murray's Mill Historic Site:

 

Why did we go to Murray's Mill after church this morning?

 

A couple months ago, in May, Joe met Jennifer, Murray's Mill Historic District site manager, at a Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary church archive workshop in Columbia, South Carolina; at that time he told her we would like to come to her ice cream social today.

 

And we did!

 

We had a great time at Murray's Mill Annual Ice Cream Social! And we want to return for a waterside hike and picturesque picnic at the last milling complex in the county, meticulously preserved and interpreted by the Catawba County Historical Association.

 

See it soon, even without the free ice cream – an awesome treat! – or one of their other events usually attended by 5,000 people!

 

It was a wonderful day, with a welcome high of 84⁰F (below-average temperature for July), clear blue skies, pleasant low humidity...

 

Going home at 4:44 p.m., my cell phone battery was at 44% and I had 555 captures! Who could've guessed? Plus Joe took all of 12!

 

I seldom video, but both Joe and I took videos, plus photos.
