Change of Plans....Pitty Pat's Porch

We changed our mind's and braved another taxi ride to Pitty Pat's Porch. It was good southern cooking. Black eyed peas, Collard greens, ribs, fried chicken. We even ate Bread pudding. IT was not South Beach Friendly!!
The cab ride was much better, both ways!! On the way back that one was listening to TALK radio, go figure. We are packing for tomorrow. Bob is so happy this is over. He just has to check in in the morning and we head out. Hope to find the Scrapbook store in Marietta if we can. See ya'll soon. Scrappy

We had a Good time at the game!!

We had a good time at the game!! Our first pro-basketball game. Anyway they keep you busy with all sorts of stuff. Below are the flames when each player is announced. This was right in front of us!! They had the A-town dancers who came out everytime there was a timeout. Also they did the Kiss Cam-put the camera on a couple until they realized they were on the screen and they had to kiss! This was cute!! Some apparently were

not couples and did not want to kiss. I took these pictures with my phone. Bob brought his camera but I did not bring the cord to upload.

Anyway, I am happier today. Bob is coming to get me for lunch and then he has to go back. I am planning to take the CNN tour today. See if I can see Anderson Cooper!!

 I found this picture of how the Park across the street looked during the 1996 Olympics. Pretty awesome, wasn't it. Well, let me get moving here. Planning to go to a Mall tonight for shopping, oh that is what is wrong with me, no shopping!! Miss my Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby fix!!

The way it is. . . . .

We took a frightening taxi ride the Hard Rock Cafe. The ride itself was scary because the cab driver did not want to stop at traffic lights, racing the engine and pulling into the  intersection waiting for the light to change. Anyway we enjoyed the Hard Rock. We have decided it is not safe to venture out too far from the hotel. I don't think we'll be taking anymore taxi's. Homeless people/panhandler's are all over. As soon as you go outside they come up to you. Yesterday I heard a loud roar outside the window and it was the police unit based here in CNN center. There we at least 50 cops on Harley's. I guess when something happens they all race out. I made a photo.

Let me get moving here. Bob is going to come up and we'll go eat lunch in the CNN food court.

Downtown Atlanta

Despite the rain and FOG we made it to Atlanta yesterday. This is a view Centennial Park, the site of the 1996 Olympics. It is lit up for Christmas and looks beautiful. The rain doesn't help my picture and the fact that I took I took it from my window.

This is the same view this morning, still rainy, foggy an Bob is in meetings all day. I plan to get cleaned up and go for a walk. Thinking of going on the CNN tour. We did that many years ago when the children were little.  So, let me get moving around here.
