What proporation of portland cement, sand, and lime(?) should I use???
Or should I just buy some pre-mixed material from a big box store.
Thanks for your thoughts, as I have not idea what to buy!

Many of these old masonry places never had any portland in them. Look
at the materials available locally, it's probably what they used. The
sand color also makes a difference if you want a perfect match.
