Bricks

I have a admiration for brick walls..This wall is part of the old Vickery Creek Mill in Roswell, Ga. It dates back to the 1850's. Why the admiration? It has a story to tell, it has seen a lot in the last 150 plus years..It survived the demolition by Union forces, reconstruction, the 20th Century and the most important thing..Time. 
I have five bricks that once belonged to our former high school in Oxford, Alabama.. They are 61 years old...They have contained so many memories that I did not understand until we watched the gradual demolition of our old school so there could be a new parking area for the $19 Million new high school the opened prior to this school year..
The truth is, time marches on but for these bricks they hold time to what it once was..

Good Evening
