We went to Charlotte NC on Saturday (in preparation for g'daughters half-time performance at the Panthers game).  We had a super neat room at the Hyatt.  I was impressed!  We went to SouthPark Mall Saturday evening and oogled & awed at the different stores (Abercrombie & Fitch, Nordstroms, Neimans, etc).  Didn't buy a dang thing!  LOL   We had dinner at an Italian restaraunt which I can't pronounce nor spell the name...or even tell you what it was we ate!  It wasn't your typical spaghetti.   Topped off the evening with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory with slices of cheesecake to eat back in our super neat room. 
 
We got up early Sunday morning and headed out to eat breakfast.  After breakfast, we decided to let the GPS lead us around Charlotte since we had time to spare before heading to the stadium.  And where did we go???   The Billy Graham Library...
 
It looked like a lovely place....while I stood behind the gate peering in.    It was closed!!!  It was Sunday!!!!  How could Billy Graham lock me out on Sunday????  LOL  Anyway, we didn't get to tour the library BUT I did find a hubcap lying in the entrance...so I think that was God's will...divine intervention...LOL.  That hubcap is now hanging up with the rest of my collection.

Bossman, I never thought about that before, but that makes perfect sense to me.......I don't smoke.......(but apparently I do smoulder ) so I never thought about the cost of cigarettes and tobacco products.  Will the plant only grow in the south of your country?  Is it legal to grow your own tobacco?
 
Tommye - you could go into business selling home grown cigarettes and plough the profits into taking in more abandoned/lost animals

This morning dawned bright and sunny...a little on the cool side though.  We decided to head on up to Willow Springs to an Estate Auction.  After arriving there, we quickly found out that they really didn't have anything we needed (as if we need anything)...but Mr T2 did find a couple of old weight scales to add to his collection.  We stayed about an hour before heading for home.  We took the back roads, and the ride was beautiful.  Did I take pictures of the leaves...or any of the fall colors???  Nopers.   I guess I was too busy looking to think about snapping pics!  LOL 
 
Anyway Lesley...here's a pic that Anna snapped of us as we were getting ready to head back home.

Oops...hit that send button a little too quick.  
 
I'm not sure about the bootleg tobacco business!  LOL   I do know that it is an expensive crop to grow...seedlings, fertilizing, harvesting, drying, etc runs up into the big bucks.  And of course, the govt has stuck their finger into the pie.  A few years ago, there was a "Tobacco Buyout"...paying farmers NOT to plant tobacco, so for a while, there were fewer & fewer fields of the golden leaved manna. 
 
That little donkey was the cutest thing!  Shortly after I had snapped that picture, we walked back by him...and he was stretched out...taking his siesta.  Cute, cute, cute.  We didn't have any of the grandkids with us at the fair...thank gawd!  LOL   But with all the animals around our house...they don't get too excited to see animals at the fair.

Electric bill???  That small???  Not a chance    That was his last will & testament..written up a neat roadside stand for a small fee. 
 
OK Lesley...here's one more....and before you ask any questions...please know that I refuse to answer any questions related to this pic...including why I'm sitting in what appears to be a overgrown garden...behind an oscillating fan...and why there is police tape behind me.  LOL

 you are absolutely right about that one Lesley - and Tommye, by the way you are holding onto your handbag, I would think that it contains your purse with your money in it.
 
Rob - thank you for the offer of sending the email, and if I go through the list and find some of the ways, a little difficult to understand by reading them, can I ask you to help me understand more fully, by giving me a demonstration?

Oh how can you say that Rob?  Have you been reading the toilet walls again?  
 
I have never used my bippy for gambling purposes, my bippy has only ever been enjoyed by a few select male friends -................ and the entire Band of the Cold Stream Guards and the Welsh Male Voice Choir...twice
