Chip Shots 9

Yesterday, a little gray poodle was hanging around the house, not letting anyone get close enough to read its tags. I went out and said, “Sweetie, would you like some water?” And then the man weeding the flower beds said, “Um, no thank you.”

If you happen to be anywhere near Atlanta this summer, be sure to go to the Botanical Garden. It is having a show of Henry Moore sculptures, just here through October, then back to England they go. Atlanta has done a splendid job of placing them through the garden … it is truly a sight to see.

On the other hand, the blue highways of northern Georgia may not have meandered all that far from Tobacco Road. You can still purchase this treat for the kiddies.

    Ha! They still sell those at our local candy store too…ahhhh, childhood memories. Those and liquorice pipes. Parents today would be appalled

    They sell candy cigarettes at the party supply stores around here. I almost lost my mind when I saw them!

    Thought I was so cool ‘smoking’ those as a kid. Later, thought I was so cool smoking. Now I think we’re cool for having quit 7+ years ago. But they were still fun! Who knew that so many things which seemed perfectly innocent would much later give people/governments palpitations??!!

    The parrot pic cracks me up! Looks like you hired a new accountant or something!

    Hehe, did you have a layover in Atlanta, or are you here visiting for a bit?

    I’ve lived here 5 years and I’ve never made it to the botanical gardens. Maybe someday…
