Merci beaucoup, Vagabonde!

Thanks go out to Vagabonde for showing me how to add a Flag Counter to my blog. I will no longer have to count my little flag files by hand.

Vagabonde is from France originally but lives today in Marietta, Georgia. Mrs. RWP and I lived in Marietta from 1975 until 2003.

Marietta, Georgia, is most famous for its Big Chicken:


...unless it’s for being the home of this person...

...or perhaps this person.

Many years ago Marietta was known as the home of this person also, and when the old Strand Theater on the square was renovated after having fallen into disrepair for several decades, she and her equally famous husband gave $50,000 to the project.

And now Vagabonde lives there too.

In Marietta I mean, not in the Strand Theater.


I am beginning a drive to have Marietta’s most famous landmark renamed poulet frit du Kentucky in her honor. Send me your contributions and just as soon as I get $50,000 I will approach the city fathers about the possibility.
