remembering those already in Heaven

C 

 Cindy and I took my mother to visit the grave of her son and my brother, Stephen Anthony. He lived only a few hours after birth on October 26,  1956.   He is buried beside our Grandpa and Grandma Franklin at Thompson Chapel Cemetery.   Sadly , he would have been 67 this October.  

Converse Mill Lofts opening soon

The old Converse mill in the photo on the left - brings back many memories.  My mother worked there for several years when I was a little kid.  And the two lane highway to Spartanburg was a bear! We only went 3-4 times a year to shop for Christmas, Easter, back to school clothes, etc. but if you were behind one of those old Ford T Models or trucks  , it would take forever to get there. 

Below is a picture of the remodeling at the mill. So glad they did not tear the building down. It is being converted into loft apartments now. 

Nice photo of the beautiful new windows , probably custom made. The website below gives more information for these apartments.
