I was thinking of you trailsend!

I dunno, its really neat to just let that word sort of float around in your mind...it means sooo many things. Okay, no more of granny's 1968 cough medicine. I swear this stuff is about 180 proof!

I can also personally attest that a Disney vacation would have been far cheaper since I am shopping shopping shopping. I haven't even gotten to Washington DC yet. Tomorrow I drive up to Fredricksburg, VA to spend the next three days with my brother and his family. I was busily making the fillings for Canadian meat pies tonight as I promised my brother and his family I would bring dinner. So my in-laws are loving the smell of the meat pies. It smells like Christmas around here. Here are some websites about my in-laws place. Its called Haw Branch Plantation. Its knows for its ghosts. <a href="http://www.ghost-stories.org/stories/hawbranch.asp" target="_blank">http://www.ghost-stories.org/s tories/hawbranch.asp</a> <a href="http://farshores.org/pghos152.htm" target="_blank">http://farshores.org/pghos152. htm</a>

If KT takes me on a trip, I'm sure I'll feel better!!!! Also, VCR ~ ***Okay, no more of granny's 1968 cough medicine. I swear this stuff is about 180 proof!*** Hey ! That's the year I married, and STILL AM AND to the SAME PERSON!! And I need some of that 180 proof!!! I'll meet you at Publix and you can give me a case.

We just might have to have that Kennesaw meet at my place. I'll be thinking of you while I'm at the Plow and Hearth today. Need anything? <smile> Glad to see your around. You've already made my vacation that much brighter. Its raining today here and it looks so incredible! I really missed seeing it rain. I hope its raining back home in Atlanta.

Originally Posted By avromark Tourtieres are also available ready made, heh. Are your relatives way back when Canadien/Candienne or American though? Next thing you'll tell me that poutine made with shredded cheese is good, and you don't need cheese curds. (Although I think East Coast US eat cheese curds, at least probably states that produce dairy)
