You know you are in the country when...........

1. you are being paid in potatos, plums and green tomatos
2. when you ring someone's doorbell and the siding on the house moves
3. the lock on the front door is a combination lock like on a car
4. there are more pictures on someones walls of their prized cows and dogs than of their kids
5. you are told they have only had indoor plumbing for 10 yrs

Yep.....I have seen some amazing things and heard some unreal stories. I've met some really nice folks and experienced some rude people as well....I guess you can't completly escape the nasty ones no matter where you may go. Yesterday I finally got to have a BBQ sandwich at this local dive...Hot Thomas. I've been hearing about this place for a week....but everytime I'm by there it's closed. Finally....it was open on Saturday. It was good and the sweet tea was a nice change from my normal water. The company was the best. The older couple that owns and runs it were very entertaining. He said they only open 3 days a week and they close at 6p.....no wonder I could never catch them open!!! They have many acres of land and they are all farmed....they have been here 60+ yrs.....in fact he told where to find some of the houses I still needed to go to. I was the only person there eating, some came to get to-go orders, so I knew I would also get entertained....and I was not disappointed. Yep...if you ever get up to Watkinsville, you gotta make it to Hot Thomas for some BBQ.
I'm off to peddle a few more pics...it's been a good weekend....I even sold a 20x30 canvas...wow.
Looks like I'll avoid rain one more day that would be great.
