: : : : PP and Goody Sandy -- have either one of you visited
: : : : the memorial for the 19 innocent people hanged as 
: : : : witches in Salem? NOT the tacky Witch Museum -- this
: : : : is a lovely little garden with stone benches, each
: : : : bearing the name of one of the accused. I'm told
: : : : during the solstices people leave flowers and burn
: : : : candles on the benches, which I think is neat.

: : : I would love to visit this memorial some day, Doc.
: : : The Witch Museum is tacky, is it?  If I ever get there, I'll take that in, too, tacky or not...fascinated by the whole scene.
: : : You live near there, Doc?

: : : Myrrh

: : Wish I did. *sigh*  Maybe someday. Some good friends of mine
: : live around there and when I visited them we went there.
: : And yes, the Witch Museum is truely tackamundo, but I liked
: : it anyway, even though my friends refused on the grounds
: : of good taste to go in with me. The Peabody-Essex museum
: : is THE place to go, though -- it has the original documents
: : from the 1692 trials. There's also a log cabin you can
: : see from that time period. Danvers, which is right next to
: : Salem, was originally called Salem Village, and that's 
: : actually where all the accused people lived. According
: : to the guide books I read, a few of their houses are still
: : standing -- Rebecca Nurse's for one, and John Procter's
: : as well. When I go back in the spring we're going to try
: : to see them. 

: : Doc M

: Gee Doc, if'n you DO go back for a visit aren't you afraid Cotton Mather would recognize you and arrest you?  *snork snork chuckle*

: Oh!  Oh!  What was that Disney movie...with Bett Midler? Spellbound?  And what was it that zombie said to her after he cut the stitches keeping his mouth shut????  Same to YOU Doc!!

: Bwa ha ha ha *scampering to hollow tree*
