A trip to the mountains

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 17:06:40 -0500

First off, I want to thank the Zieglers for hosting the Dec. pot luck dinner. Very gracious hosts. Those of you that have hosted meetings before realize the work involved in putting one on. But it is gratifing. Imagine cooking a whole turkey AND a ham, biscuits and gravy, punch, etc.,etc., plus decorating for Christmas. Of course John had to clean up the shop, too.
Those of you that missed it, missed a great social and feed. It was good to see the guys from Brasstown Blacksmiths,too. 'Course it's a long way to Brasstown,N.C. from west central Ga., but car pooling works. Great IITH,too.
