Have some sugar, sugar

We, of course, couldn't buy all the candy we saw at Mast General Store last week.

And we, for sure, couldn't eat it all.

BUT, I sure did enjoy photographing it.

Boone - Hard to get to, but not impossible

I've often thought it would be fun to plan a mystery fiction event in Boone, NC

But, several things get in the way.

Number One being the fact that Boone is not the easiest place to get to.  

There used to be service into a small airport just down the mountain in Hickory, but it's now closed.  The other options are Greensboro, Charlotte or Asheville - all a couple hours away.

But, Hey - If President Obama can get here, what the heck - it might be something to think about after all!  What do you think?!
