After 9 years....very nearly 10 years since I joined SMC I finally got to visit Keith and Jackie Outten at their home and toured Keith's shop. Keith gave us the royal tour, demonstrated his engraving skills by making a sign for my son Mike who accompanied me.
Had a great time, learned a lot. We will plan another visit in the future and hopefully have dinner with the Outtens so our wives can meet too!
Before the picture police apply for a warrant, here is photographic evidence:

From there we went to Busch Gardens near Williamsburg where we met up with Mike's wife, 3 children (our twin granddaughters age 3 and their 17 month old brother) and my wife. We attended Busch Garden's Christmas lights celebration and had a grandtime! Our 17 month old grandson nick-named Bubby was oohing and ahhhing every turn in the walk when we saw new colored light displays.
It was a grand day!
