Darlene Wofford's Newsroom

Carl and I had an absolutely gorgeous afternoon for T-birding with the top back.  The only problem was that we spent well over an hour sitting almost still and going nowhere fast up Piedmonth to Peachtree Rd and over to The Buckhead Triangle at Wieuca.  We were on our way to Borders there for a book-signing and I was SUPPOSED to be there 3-5:00.  We thought we would take a "short cut" but that actually brought us back to Piedmont Rd at a point about 2 blocks BEHIND where we started.  It felt like we were in the Bermuda Triangle--how could a short cut wind up being the long way around, adding another 30 minutes to our trip? We didn't reach Borders until 3:30 and were lucky to get there then.  Atlanta traffic is the PITS! 

Once again I met an awfully lot of good folks and the Borders gang--Pete, Angela, Brannon, and the manager Harrison--were all fantastic and made me feel right at home.  Of course there was one "mature" woman, (even more "mature" than little ole me), who was rude, rude, rude!  I just thanked God I'm not that way.  I could have let her hurt my feelings but instead I had to chuckle about it, thinking 'surely this woman's not for real' as I looked around to make sure I wasn't on Candid Camera.  We left a little after 5:30 and it was a pretty good day after all, and as always I had a blast!  (Photos in my album "Fun People and Places"). 

When we left we avoided most of the traffic by taking 400 to 285 and then up 75 North.  With our caps in place, the top back and the windows down we were T-birding home at a steady pace--all the way to our local Marietta Captain D's--as they say, "a great little seafood place."  

Until next time,

Enjoy Life's Blessings and Keep Moving Forward!
