I’ve determined that now, more than ever, we must give literacy programs a push. We must get children and adults reading. We must teach them how to read: no smoking!

While at the gas station last week I saw a woman pumping gas, a lit cigarette in her other hand. This is the first time in all my years I’ve seen this. I was frozen on the spot.

Gasoline and fire do not mix.

Or maybe no one told this woman that. For whatever reason, she did not or could not read the no smoking signs (plastered everywhere!) and I was too stunned to say anything. I know, surprising right? Of course, what would I have said? Hey moron, the sign says no smoking for a reason? No doubt I would have lost all my sweet talking, southern cool and headed straight for rude woman who’s lost her cool.

*sigh* Another day in the steamy south. Maybe the heat is going to people’s heads.

Love,

Madison

Juicy Georgia Belle peaches would be readily available year round… just waiting to be savored.
