My atta boy was not at all about your inclusion of Blacks but about agreeing, seemingly, on only land owners voting.

I am sort of familiar with NC and surely Va.. I almost chose to move to NC back in the early 90's...love it there and am a Southerner at heart. Too many people these days still see the South as entirely racist which is surely is not. I married a Ca. gal a few years back and moving to the South would be out of the question....so we remain in Grass Valley...and love the South from afar. If we sold our nice home here I can almost imagine what we could buy in one of the Carolinas. Congrats on your move.

Interesting, my wife is a Californian by blood and by culture. She's doing well here, although still adjusting to less money per hour worked. We expected that, so no surprise.
She's adopted several connections here, the "Southern Tea Society" being one. You can imagine what that is.
I'm planting grapes this spring, for wine production by others, so we'll see how that works out.
Grass Valley is near, or is, a Southern sympathizers haven from long ago, how is your wife dealing with that?
