Ok, Katie… South of the Border, it is.

We left Philadelphia about 1 PM or so on Monday ( 6/23) headed home to Swainsboro, Ga.  We decided sometime during the drive to drive straight through without stopping for the night. We got home about 4 AM on Tuesday (6/24).  Somewhere toward the south end of I-95 in North Carolina, we started to see signs [...]

Arthur Treacher’s Quest

We were on a quest during this trip to find an Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips.  We found one at the food court in the Franklin Mills Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

 
We haven’t eaten at one since they closed in Atlanta a few years back.  Herman was extra happy to have his fish that day.

We were [...]

Hershey’s Chocolate World

During our trip we also visited Hershey, Pa. and spent almost an entire day at Hershey’s Chocolate World ( http://www.hersheys.com/chocolateworld ).  As Katie would say, “OMG !!!”.  Imagine the World of Coca-Cola, but everything is about CHOCOLATE. Even the streets around Chocolate World, the Hershey Plant, and the theme park are colored a cocoa powder brown and [...]

Special post for a special person

This Lol-cat posting is being posted because I told a certain person I would – and you know who you are. 
If you don’t get the reference and you’re over 18, then you don’t know your Johnny Depp movies. Go rent F & L in L.V.  — look it up.  He is great as always, but [...]

BOYD’S BEAR COUNTRY !!!!!!!!

Got some pictures from Katie this afternoon, Herman’s multitude of pics are forthcoming.  I almost forgot to tell ya’ll about getting to go to Boyd’s Bear Country.  While we were driving down those peaceful Pa. roads on the way to Gettysburg, there it was on our left.  I think it was one of our favorite [...]

What my cats did on my vacation….

more cat pictures
They reminded me of Smokey and Scamper. Right down to the collars. Scamper wears a Red collar and Smokey’s is Purple.  In case you are wondering, Smokey and Scamper are solid grey and identical twins from the same litter.  Every now and then I find a stray white hair, but that’s it…. Very hard [...]

Travelling across US & DC

We found out that telling your GPS to go the shortest distance possible will take you through places like downtown Charlotte, NC. While this is a beautiful site, the interstate probably would have been much faster.  But then again 600 and something miles is still a lot of miles from Swainsboro no matter which way you [...]

Let’s go play in the dirt

New Species found in Brazil

The Discovery Channel people say this is a legless lizard, but I think it’s just a snake. It is a snake, right?  This is the article about it ….

Do u live near any of these places? (cuz I sure don’t – wish I did)

This came as upsetting news to me.  I saw a link to appear on one of my favorite daily shows, “My House Is worth What?” with Kendra Todd.  No I don’t want to move, I just love the show and think it would be cool to have them come in and appraise everything.  Check here and see [...]

2008 Canoochee Daylily Garden Festival

Outing in Augusta

Katie and I were in Augusta ( Evans, Ga. technically ) yesterday and saw a “Wild Book ” bumper sticker on a car. I know you’re thinking soooo?!?!.  It reminded me that I have forgotten to share this website with the rest of the world.  
http://www.bookcrossing.com/
Here is their description of how it works ….
Grab a book, any [...]

What if facebook/myspace etc were real?

I found this video that shows what I think is the absurdity of all these “friends” sites on the Internet. These would never take off in the real world. And don’t get me started on second life and why people do the exact same thing in second life as they do in reality right down [...]

Road Trip !!!!!

The 3 of us are leaving this weekend for Washington, D.C.  We booked a two day pass on the Grayline double decker bus, so that we can see all the national monuments and stop in a few museums.  The last time Herman and I were there in 1992, I feel like all we did was [...]

A new addition to our little family

Earlier this week, we went through the interview and paperwork portions to qualify to host an exchange student for the upcoming school year.  Her name is Holly and she is from Dusseldorf, Germany.   She is 16, a year older than Katie. I just talked to her on the phone this afternoon and she seems really [...]
