– Mini-Themed Album – The Murray & Minges General Store –
Catawba, NC – 2018JUL08 – Murray's Mill Historic District:

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

This past May, Joe met Jennifer, Murray's Mill Historic District site manager, at a Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary church archive workshop in Columbia, South Carolina; he told her then 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! We want to return for a waterside hike & 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 free ice cream – awesome treat!! – or one of their other events usually attended by 5,000 people!

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% & I had 555 captures! Who could've guessed? Plus Joe took 12!

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