Scott's Antique & Collectable Show

The Pino's picked us up in the AM and took us to Scott's Show. It's huge and occupies two huge buildings. More stuff than you can believe. Books, jewelry, furniture, rugs, odds and ends, you name it. Mostly very nice stuff. Decorators and home owners shop here to furnish homes. I do believe you could entirely furnish a home in a trip here.
After the show, we went for dinner at Houston's and had a great rack of "fall off the bone" baby-back ribs. Bob and Eloise have been down here about 8 years and really know the places to go. Their hospitality has been wonderful.
There's an Air Force and Reserve Base right across the street from our site and they share the runways with Lockheed-Marietta, the company that won the bid for the next generation fighter for the military. We looked up the first day we were here and saw one. It's called the F-22 Raptor. It was followed by a F-16 chase plane. The new plane was half again as big as the chase plane with a very stealthy look. Awesome.
