Just so ya'll know

My son did that several years ago. He had a good time.

Son said he’s “dorming with 5 guys - they each have their own rooms.” Dorms sure have changed a lot!

They are working on a clean-energy project for the week.

where the Northwood Mall used to be (it has been leveled!)

Damn! That was my go-to as a kid..
Also where I got my drivers license.

The story of your grandparents sounds about right! There’s a lot of planning that goes on around the church crowds.

It sounds like you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you. Do you dry, freeze or can the peas?

Very kind of the missus to make the trek over to Jacksonville for her cousin. It must be a special friendship for her to go there. It would take a lot to get me to go to Jville. Please tell me you at least wear a cowboy hat while you ride your “mule!”

My daughter’s 4th grade teacher retired and moved to Alligator Point. She’s in charge of the nesting sea turtles. I’m going to try to go on a morning walk with her to check the nests one day this week. That might be the most exciting thing I do while I’m here.

I would have gone for a walk around the pond this morning but it turns out I brought two left shoes with me.

Maybe you can go dancing?

If you feel like we can’t trust @cover2 I can do a drive by to verify the story!

I don’t dance very well with my two left shoes.

Just see if the Lil’ Folks Store was left standing
I used to buy all my airplane models from there.

Sorry, they’ve seemed to have lost all their marbles.

No kidding. My son had a roomie; in a room painted in GT colors!

She and her cousin are very close. The cousin has been dealing with breast cancer and is being treated at Mayo. My wife has assumed the role of family caretake. As for the cowboy hat, I usually wear a big straw hat to keep the sun off as much as possible. Maybe it’s a Chinese Rice Picking Cowboy hat!?

Enjoy Alligator Point, but if walking go barefoot if you can. That pair of shoes will have you walking in circles! Btw averaged 10 two-cup bags of peas for each hamper. Still have the butter beans to finish tomorrow.

There’s a farmers market tomorrow morning on Kerry Forest PKWY that I’ll stop at before going on to the beach. Didn’t you mention Corkers Farm in Calvary? They have a stand. I can take some peas home with me along with a cooler of seafood.

Not familiar with Corker’s. The one we have used for the last few years is Open Air Market in Calvary owned by Bob Maxwell (229)377-9855. If Corker’s has some peas, by all means take some with you. We’ve paid $40/hamper this year, which is about $8 more than last year, but everything else is up and if you want them you’ve gotta pay. If you keep the bags on ice, they will be fine for your trip home. Let us know how puttin’ them up goes. Drive safely and steer clear of them old Jane folks.

Thanks, I’ll be referencing your other “how to” post on the peas.
On the way down I stayed in Atlanta with my niece. They took me out on the town which was a lot of fun but it was definitely out of my comfort zone. The neighborhood was a bit sketchy but that’s another story. I thought about staying with her again Monday night but will see how the weekend goes.

EVERY neighborhood in Atlanta is, at a minimum, a bit sketchy

True story
I was stopped at a red light when a man stands in front of my vehicle waving dollar bills in the air. Was it rude of me not to take them?

Passed another guy snorting something out of the palm of his hand. I was only 2 miles from my destination when I ended up in the wrong lane and suddenly back on I-75 again. It was like the Chutes and Ladders game where you are so close to your destination and then slide back to the bottom to start over again.

@CDGator were you able to find any peas? Could use them to negotiate your way through ATL stoppages.

 

[grengadgy]

Correct. The one in Colquitt does a buffet that is really good (country cooking),

I believe that I ate there when I went to visit my wife at a Colquitt hospital. Real good buffet, even had thin cornmeal fry bread.

That’s got to be same the one! Gren, am I right in thinking you are in Valdosta? My daughter lives there and we are over that way frequently.

Yes, see your other thread about how to put them up!

I live out from Jennings Fl about 30 miles from Valdosta. Doctors and shopping there.
