No worries... We got it. :)

However, we would be better off if coins were made from iron.

It could help out with some of the deficiencies.

I will have the wife with me. She likes hanging lights and the sparkly colors.

She is a school teacher so she hears feedback from the kids and we add some of their comments to our show.

This year we add Snoopy and the Red Baron.

My wife and I are planning being there.  I wanted to get up there last year, but it didn't work out.  We are in Hixson close to Andy.  He sent me the info on Facebook a week or so ago.  Looking forward to it.

Jennifer and I will be there! I am looking forward to this.

I need a day away from Murphy, NC.

 

It will be great to meet some new people who have the same insane love of sparkly flashy things as we do.

Quite a bit of shopping within 10 to 20 miles from here. Several of us will have various things for sale. A few of the door prizes will be worth the drive if one gets lucky. Looking forward to Saturday.

Looks like someone parked their vette in front of your potato truck, six hours with a giant potato  WOW!

When I told the driver that some guy in Idaho on TV said if we see the truck tell them to come home, he gave me an info flier.

A potato that large would take 10,000 years to grow.

In the year which I have owned the car, I have put over 40K miles on it.

Best work car I have ever owned. 30MPG all day long at 75MPH.

Here is Ted Turners pet Bison.
