Post Grandfather '07 Thoughts

[highlandtide]

I will be back next year! I missed this year and last year b/c of Greyson's birth and her not being quite old enough this year. Up until then I had been for the last 10 years!

I arrived on the mountain on Monday, and had a few days to relax before it got crazy.


Good to meet a few friendly XMarks faces at the Harp tent. It was a shame I had to dash off to attend to my Clan duties back at the tent, but it was good to have a few XMarks folks stop by for a wee sweetie or two (won't mention names, but a passion for licorice All Sorts is involved!)

Sunday's deluge was merely a minor setback. As one of the local Games here in the Charlotte area always mentions in their programs "There is no such thing as bad weather, just poor choices in clothing" It gave my partner and I chance to have a bit of lunch and a few nips of the water of life. OK, a lot of nips.

Looking forward to the Foothill and Waxhaw Games later this year!

It was great to meet you, Mr. Mayor. My family felt very welcomed by the citizens of MacVillage on our first visit and plan to make a full week out of it next year. I'm trying to design a tent platform to span the drainage area we camped on. Wilson said we have to camp there next year too.

The inventory was on the light side this year...and we sold a TON on friday...chances are if you came by anytime after friday evening...there was nothing in a size that was your preferred.

You got that right! I was there early saturday and you only had a workmans in my size. Maybe a little feedback to UK wouldn't hurt.


Sorry I missed all the scheduled gatherings of x-markers. $h!T happened.

The search continues. I never seem to find it in the same place twice, but that last batch came from a friend who was up in Cleveland, OH for a visit and spotted them. I tend to buy them in Canada, where they are easier to find, but I haven't been home in two years. FYI, they are made by a company called Bassett's, and they are called Licorice All Sorts. I am sure our cousins in the UK are wondering what all the fuss is about, but trust me, they are fairly rare over here in the colonies! I will keep you in mind, if I find a large cache!

Go to www.britishfoodshop.com click on British Sweets, click on Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts. You will find three different size bags for sale.

Enjoy
