I adored her light mystery sisters series. I forget which one, but the Vulcan was in one of the later stories.

There is so much beauty in Birmingham. Have you seen Samford University from the Vestavia viewpoint. It is so breathtaking.

It's a great city, I loved it and remember it well due to the food poisoning I got from shrimp at a convention I was attending at the time.....lol.

I am a big lover of the Southern Sisters mystery books (takes place in Birmingham) and they are always talking about the Vulcan statue! I was just reading one this afternoon! It was nice to "see" it in person, thanks:)Susan P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16123411088490778415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-92108044392761699472007-03-30T13:15:00.000-05:002007-03-30T13:15:00.000-05:00Rhoda, what a fun day!
