Atlanta, GA

We're here in GA, we had a great 10 days at Alpharetta - Wills Park Equestrian Center. We were there last October and now a month earlier in September... we had a great agility show. People were really excited that we showed up and bought the leashes like crazy.
We left there this morning around 7am just as the sun was peeking over the hill and drove straight through the center of Atlanta getting to the Expo center 2 hours later.
The traffic was not bad, a tad heavy and Peter had to concentrate keeping the RV in the lane. We had to stay away from the right lane as it kept becoming an "exit only" so he stayed in the middle lane with cars wizzing by on each side.
Once we got onto the toll portion of 400 there was lighter traffic and then it got heavy again when we merged onto 85/75... but not bad. Thanks to Dixie and Phyllis for steering us right with those great directions.
We don't have electricity here, so we're running our Honda generator... gas is at a premium as most of the stations here have run out and don't expect to get more until next week if then.
We were able to fill up the RV this morning and get 10 gallons in cans (plastic) to put in the generator.
We got over the to center and I setup the booth, thankfully it's inside this weekend. It's supposed to be a nice weekend, so we're praying that we do well.
We will be heading back up to lexington, we've got an appointment with our dr on the 24th and will be then up to Cincinnatti for an agility show as well as getting Hoshi's hips checked. This will show if she's breeding material.
She's been getting so much calmer, she's funny, she'll "talk" to me when she has to go out and do her business... not so much barking but vocalizing. She's such a food hound, she'll do just about anything for a treat. We're working hard on the obedience stuff, and as long as she knows I've got treats in my pocket, she tries very hard to do what I want.
We were in a dog park the other day and I whistled and she came running, I was very impressed because we had not be practicing that. But she knew it was my whistle and she wanted to know what I wanted. She got lots of praise for that.
Nougat keeps us laughing, she loves to run across the front of the RV looking out the window and she "snorts" when she sees someone or some dog... LOL
God is good, orders are coming in for the product and we are able to keep traveling.
