Not too long ago, I plugged a project that involves the restoration of an old mill over in North Carolina.

I got an email from the people who are doing the work and they want to send me a tee shirt.

Who says I can't make it as a writer?

Actually, it is an important project. The mill was built in 1880 something, and from the pictures I have seen, it is in remarkably good condition. They say it still has a lot of the original equipment in it. The water wheel still needs work and the wall next to it had to be redone. They are looking for volunteers to help with the remainder of the restoration. There is also a festival called "Music at the Mill" which begins at noon on May 20. See link for more information.
