Peaches

-
so I always say a peach is a peach, but apparently I am wrong. Lane Southern Orchards has to many varieties to name. I played tourist today with my friend and we toured the farm. We were the only ones on the tour and our tour guide was an elderly man who loves doing the tours. He was so sweet to us. As we got in our tour seats, he sliced a peach and gave us pieces. I say a tour that starts with a dripping sweet Georgia peach is peachy with me. (sorry couldnt resist)

We drove around the whole farm and learned that you cannot pick a tree till it is in its third year. Also they are now letting the trees grow taller and ladders need to be used now to pick. Some of the Pecan trees we saw were 75 yrs old. We learned about the workers from Mexico and saw their housing and store.

We drooled over many peaches, so wanted to share some photos with you from today's tour. We have a lot of fun, got a slice of a peach, an experienced tour guide and then went inside to see (again) how they are brought in and washed and shipped and all the in-betweens. hehehe

I love Georgia peaches,but I love learning about everything that goes into something that takes a lot of hands involved to grow. If you have a chance this weekend, play tourist in your hometown and share with me what you did in a comment.

Happy Weekend,,hope you have some peaches to enjoy!!

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
