5 Barns Report-Back Home Safe and Sound

[Ken Salisbury]

The get-together at Bill's was really great. I met a lot of folks for the first time and also got to see quite a few old friends again. Bill, Lisa and their Daughters were excellent hosts. We all had a great time -- -- and the food was "outstanding". Thanks to the Grumbines !!!

I went to just the other side of Allentown Sunday to visit my Nephew and my younger Brother's wife who I have not seen in about 7 or 8 years and started back home Sunday evening. I stopped in Virginia, (approx 1/2 way home and took a 2 hour nap in a rest area) I drove the rest of the way through the night getting here this morning at 10:30 am -- -- Safe and Sound.

As shown on a previous post (done very sneaky -- like after I left for PA) Keith and Aaron gave me the beautiful sign to use during shows. I was speechless (well - not quite entirely :D).

I hauled a bunch of lumber (walnut, beech, cherry, etc) to PA and refilled the truck before I left with load of Bud Light (cheaper in Pa than in Ala) and a cooler full of Scrapple.

I see I have 5 pages listing unread threads and posts. Well maybe I will get through them sometime later today.

Ken,

Glad you made it back safe and sound. (also glad you could get back home with a cargo worth slightly more than you came up with) ;)

Was great to meet you at last, and to find out that we have a shared history. Looking forward to next year.

I've 15 or 20 pics from the picnic that I'll send you for posting. Do you want them sent to your regular mail address?

Ken speechless, that would have mad ethe whole trip worth it all by itself. Missed the sign though Ken, you'll have to bring it back next year when you come pick up your lower cost beer!

It was a pleasure to meet ya Ken! You said you were going to bring back a truck load of Bud Light when we were talking. Guess your a man of your beer, er I mean word. I enjoyed the picnic and look forward to next year. I'm coming (meaning I have permission to) alone next year so I can stay as long as I want.
