Thanks
Hi Guys,
As Dan and I planned our get together, and the day drew closer, I told my hubby "I am not going through this again - no way - no how. There will not be another one". Now my famous last words are" When is the next one"? In fact, I have already started planning the menu.
I really enjoyed the weekend of the 10th. Usually I don't take a whole lot of interest in Dan's saw stuff. I'm around it every day. We live, eat, and breathe saws all the time. Nothing new to me. But I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself that weekend. All the guys that were here were really great! Everyone got along! I enjoyed meeting everyone. Now I can put faces with voices when they call. A greater bunch of guys I have not seen.
I really feel sorry for those that did not show because of conflicts and issues with other ABS members. Why can't people just put their differences and feelings aside and just have some good old fashioned fun and fellowship? Life is too short. I guess if you snooze you lose. Their loss.
Many thanks to everyone who helped. I must say that Sue and Eric were our saving grace. They showed here on Friday morning and just couldn't do enough to help us. What a great couple!!! Thanks to everyone who brought food, props, etc. Also, thanks to Cris and Gretchen Cicora. He played ring leader and she recorded the times and they brought 2 fresh hams - delicious! Thanks to Sedanman's famous ribs- unmatchable - out of this world. Thanks to Rich for the tree trimming demo. That was really something to see - what a professional. Thanks to Saw man for all the gifts and prizes he gave - plus all the support. Thanks also to Jeff Sikkema - for all the GB mugs, hats, and vests, etc. that he distributed. Many thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules and drove great distances to spend the weekend with us.
Due to all the interest and inquiries asking when the next one is, any suggestions for a Fall saw fest? I was thinking the end of September, close to the 29th, Dan's and my anniversary. What a better way to celebrate than with a great bunch of good friends! (20 years worth) Let us know what you think. (If my memory serves me correctly, Sue and Eric's anniversary is around that date also).
Thanks again for a great and memorable weekend!
