As for London, if it's a new passion, I am sure there are plenty of UK LPers who would be happy to show you it's charm if you guys ever made it across.

Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I probably should have done some explaining about that Merry-Go-Round. For some reason there is this old wood carving school in Chattanooga, TN that carves the figures for Merry-Go-Rounds. This school has been open for years and years. Fairly recently the school decided to donate a Merry-Go-Round to Chattanooga. So they built this one. If you notice the figures are very intricately detailed. The figures are not wood but are still extremely well detailed. Chattanooga, TN is always fun place to spend an all day trip. Becides they have a Big River Grille and Brewing Company ( there is another one at Boardwalk Resort at WDW ). Thanks for the compliment Dave... I'm come a long way since you saw me last December. Gettiing rid of the Fu Manchu "porn star" moustache helped take 10 years off, LOL. Oh, and Dave you and the rest of the UK LPer's can rest assured that KJ and I will absolutely be heading to the UK sometime soon. It seems all my UK friends that reside here in Atlatna are all visiting the UK right now ( during September) as the flight are low before the fall and Christmas season begins. Yes, no UK "mates" to pal around with. Lonesome in Atlanta.

What make and model of camera were you using. Those shots you took are really great. Take care and tell KJ "HI!" from Shiva and Tinkeroon.

She has been buying old sewing machines on Craig's List from people here in Atlanta. I have no idea how these sewing machines are suppose to get to Cinncinatti.

The grass is doing so well that a doe and her fawn have taken up eating the grass each morning. Oh course Dixie likes the visitors and each morning begins her shenanigans. We keep the turf trimmed low and the doe and her fawn can easily find accorns in that area. Now that we are getting cooler weather I am anxious to begin some fall plantings. I went to a local garden shop yesterday to look at various fall flowers to plant and they had not arrived yet. I guess I am a little early on that one.
