Meet Lawrence and Herbert

Meet Lawrence and Herbert

They’re from Martinsville, VA. 

They apologized for “being in the way” and tried to move when I was taking some pictures the other day. I told them, you are the picture if you don’t mind of course! They happily participated and we chatted for a bit.
It’s always a treat to talk to some impeccably wrinkled folks who’ve been around for a while and have good stories. If you click on the picture you can see that Lawrence’s hat says- Life is simple; eat, sleep, fish. How perfect.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day Lawrence and Herbert. So nice to meet you.
(Readers,
You’ll see an anonymous comment below just sent to me. I only think it’s fair to publish all comments, not just the happy dappy frappy stuff, as being real and truthful is what I want Blue Lollipop Road to be. Saying that, this commenter happened to be “disturbed” that this photo showed:
1.) A guy on oxygen and still smoking. 
2.) That a WII tournament was happening Monday at 6pm. 
Dear Anonymous, 
Thank you for commenting, I love commenters and am happy to receive the good and the bad anytime!
As for #1 disturbance to you, I completely agree, but also think it’s an eye-opening view of how people are so different from each other in the decisions they make. #2? Really? I am not a big WII gal myself, but I say play on WII-ers! Rock it out!)
Thanks again Anonymous, keep them coming!

    Two things I find disturbing..

    1. Oxygen and still smoking (just seems wrong on so many levels)

    2. The sign in the background… WII Tournament Monday at 6pm.

    First and foremost – your site is so enthralling I actually created a google account so as to be counted among your followers. Your positive outlook and upbeat manner is refreshing, and a welcome reprieve from the seriousness of my day!

    Second – while not a big fan of smoking, I suppose there’s something to be said for man who sticks to his guns. Ill advised? Absolutely! But in a skewed way, I can’t help but respect a man so determined to do what makes him happy. That said, I eagerly await the day my wife kicks the habit! 😛
