This past January a friend who does some work for John and Bunny was offered their home in Punta Cana for a long weekend. He invited 3 other couples, my husband and I were one of those couples. Bunny was not there but John was. We spent 3 unforgetable days in her beautiful home and had a formal dinner with John every night. He is such an interesting personable gentlemen. And they have 3 rescue dogs in Punta Cana. They live there all year long with the care taker.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611858560416745320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-86650229465564263572009-08-17T07:27:58.684-04:002009-08-17T07:27:58.684-04:00Oh you lucky girl.

I know, how could an antique show in little ole Thomasville, GA be awesome???? Welllllllll, there are a lot of plantations in this area and lots of people come here that one might be surprised at.<br /><br />Little known secret, Jacqueline Kennedy came here after the assanisation to be alone. One of the out of the way plantations. Bottom line, she could maintain her anominity.<br /><br />Anyway, I did in fact meet Bunny Williams and her husband and found them both to be very down to earth. She autographed both of my books that I had of hers. My most favorite book is An Affair With A House. It speaks to me.<br /><br />CarolynSoutherncookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205120984091304271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-12912413592446569062009-08-16T22:54:34.731-04:002009-08-16T22:54:34.731-04:00Hi Joan,
