She knew all about who had owned those dishes. She let me keep mine. But we left it in the display with hers. The only two left from that family’s whole set. The genuine article. Aunt Jayne’s whole house is the genuine article. A real Civil War era plantation. “Farm, Billyboy, this was a farm, not a plantation.” I don’t care. Real people lived here and all the stuff they actually used is here. There is a cannon out front too. I love it. It was left there with a broken wheel after a battle. Aunt Jayne lives in several rooms in the back, the front is the Museum of Daily Life on the first two floors and the cellar too. The third floor is the library. Aunt Jayne says that she should change it so the library is downstairs for the oldies, but then the kids would never come in if they saw the books first.
