Back to Business in the Corridor

Mom roared back into Macon, leaving her "do not disturb" sign dangling in the wind. The next morning after their flight landed, she was back at work with a vengeance for the newest bit of news and improved lifestyle in the College Hill Corridor. Watch the video below!

From the East to the West

Suitcases are being packed and that means only one thing - we're getting another super sitter and Mom and Shuga D are off on another adventure. This time they are showing some sister love with a trip out West to give both of their siblings a big hug.

First, they go to see Georgie Girl and her drummer man Scott. G.G. has been an L.A. Woman for over a year now . . . and it's been that long since the sisters have seen each other. Mom's to-do's include long-awaited Pinkberry, a panty raid at Trashy Lingerie and who knows what else when nightlife comes alive.

Then it's Mom and Shuga D going 310 to Yuma. They've decided to opt out of a shuttle flight and take the scenic route from L.A. to Arizona, where Shuga's sister and her family will be waiting in Tuscon. Mom and Shuga are extremely excited to hold their newborn niece Olive Jean in their arms and give nephew Jackson big props for being an awesome big brother.

They'll be leaving on a Phoenix jet plane after seven real days in the wild west. Neither of them have been on a vacation like this in quite some time. So, check the Macon Candy Twitter page (or look for the feed to the left of this page) as Mom does her best to update us on their adventures.

Until then, in honor of the trip, pop a pill and put on your best Neely O'Hara (we'll miss you Spiro!) for Mom's favorite movie trailer, Hollywood's Valley of the Dolls:

It's a Purse! No, it's a Travel Case!

We have to admit, we're some spoiled grand-dogs here in Candy's Land. Anytime we get in the reach of Mom's Pop Walden, expect lots of people food, belly rubs and baby talk. And then there are the gifts. We love gifts.

Little brother Boz Waggs is checking out the latest. It appears to be a patent leather paw purse. But flip the lock and find two fine travel bowls inside. Check me out as I check them out . . . I'm a dog who can blog and read, immediately sniffing the "Eat" side.

So, is Pop Walden trying to hint to Mom that he would rather us travel first class than stay with him next time they need a sitter? Naaaah! After all, our granddaddy is first class all the way.

It's Baaaack

Last year, Mom was just a spectator, wincing at the "Big Dan Hauling Ass" incident. This year, she is among the organizers. Pictured is me on the "Cherry Bomb" before Big Dan took it down the hill in 2009.

This year, there is just no telling what's in store . . . There are 13 soapbox cars competing in the Magnolia Street Soapbox Derby. On top of that, there is the Laura Reed Band performing the regular Second Sunday show and there will also be a block party down Magnolia with food, sidewalk chalk, art and more live music. All of this is free. I have a feeling the crowd is going to be crazy. A good kind of crazy. See you Sunday!
