THE VILULA TEA GARDEN

...it was a little tea room in my memories...ladies wearing white gloves and pretty hats; soft and mended old linens on the tables; and heirloom roses in crystal vases....lovely.

Bigger in Georgia

THEY GROW 'EM BIG IN GEORGIA

This 97 lb. rattlesnake was found in an area just north of Savannah.
9' 1" - 97 lbs. - Biggest rattler found since one was captured in 1969 that measured 9' 1" but ONLY weighed 78 lbs.

This old guy was found inside a open water tank near an abandoned chicken house.

When we lived in Texas, I swore that 'things were bigger in Texas'! Now, I'm not so sure! This fella could feed a large family for a week, or so they would say at the Rattlesnake Round-ups they have there! yee-haw!
