The Wife Told Me to Pack my Bags...

[grizzly86]

...Thursday night for a weekend in Springfield. We left out Friday morning and went to the Discovery Center science museum for a couple hours. Then she took me to Just For Him handed me a bill and told me "Happy Father's Day, you have to spend it here". When I went in they had a few distributors there selling their pipes for 20% off so I didn't have a problem finding anything. I ended up picking out a Stanwell poker; it was stamped 207 Relief on them bottom of the shank. I also got the sampler pack of their Middle Earth blends.

We spent Saturday at the zoo and had a ball. Here are two of the pictures I took that I thought turned out really well.

The kicker for this great weekend; I came home this morning to see that the Penzance that shaintiques

sent me was delivered and waiting. He also threw in some Stokkebye Nougat. Thanks bud!
I hope everyone else had a great Father's Day too.

How'd the peacock smoke?

 

[grizzly86]

Sadly with the smoking ban in Springfield there were no smoking signs plastered all over the zoo.
Just thought I would add; The wife said that everyone made her feel very welcome talking to her and my 3 year old son while I disappeared, her words, to go look at the pipes.

Excellent purchase. I miss Springfield. It's my hometown. I'm in FL now, but I'll be there later in December.
