My most prized possession is kind of a group possession that will one day come directly to me. It is our family home/plantation back in North Carolina. It is an old antebellum plantation house that was actually used as a way point on the underground railroad. I love it there...especially in the balmy summers when the humidity is thick and steamy...the smell of honeysuckle drifting over the earthy smell of the tobacco. It sits on 300 acres complete with a mill and a gatehouse, stables, and quarters on back that used to be for sharecroppers but we now use for migrant workers. It used to be that I couldnt wait to get off that farm, but nowdays I cant wait to get back. I have been gone for about 10 years with only two visits back. Now that my wanderlust is dying off a bit, that is where I am going to make a bee-line next. I am just happy it is still there waiting for me.
