Great use of the total frame! Some of these may make their way up to Higginbotham Hareware in Sardis. lol (actually think they are out of business). #8705949

Thank you R&A! How are you 2? How are Bill and Barbara?

Thanks Danny and LOL @ that Danny! I can't say I remember Higginbotham Hardware but I do remember their store (convenience I think). They had a pole, probably their sign pole, that was right in the middle of the parking lot and everyone we knew, including me and other members of my family, backed into it. As many people that hit that pole, I am surprised it didn't fall down. That was the Higginbotham store wasn't it? I hope I have it right. It was on the right (I believe) coming from 431. Just a thought...Do you know any Prices? #8707584

Thank you Laura! And cookies?? Gosh, I hope not! If they were, at least they would look worse than mine! :D I don't think FL is the sponge capital of the world but just Tarpon Springs is. It is such a quaint little town, lots of Greek people. And I can't say I saw a Sponge World, but I do believe every store in the town carries sponges, although there are not that many stores. It is a one street little town with souvenier shops lining both sides of the street, but so far, I have never seen it terribly crowded. You might enjoy checking this out

Yes, she lives rather close to there I think, closer than me. A few weeks ago when Justin, his friend and I went to the beach in Tarpon Springs, I had to stop by there since I was so close. The boys wouldn't go with me though, and I didn't want to leave them sitting in the car too long, so I only took a few shots, this being one of them. But it made me want to come back and wander around for awhile...without kids! #8755827
