The Heart of America ♥
Ok, so we all know that I rarely take people pictures... but something had to be said about spending an evening walking into a live Norman Rockwell painting. Yes, the Antique Show and dinner. I went.I had to go... after all... there were synchronicities (we've already discussed that! LOL!) I had a friend come out from New York and meet me for a really wonderful evening. One of those rare things that you don't often get to experience around here... where a whole town comes together to support their volunteer fire department. You get to stand in a line and are served up a homemade Thanksgiving dinner (and not JUST a Thanksgiving dinner... an ALL YOU CAN EAT Thanksgiving dinner, where you can just keep getting in line and filling your plate until you can't eat anymore! No, I only filled my plate once!) Men and women sit and cut up peaches for deserts, young people serve water and ice tea, take your dessert orders and clear your plates for you. You sit at tables, family style, under a tent with people that you have never met and talk about things that ... well, that people that have never met talk about when they eat together! And you get to listen to a talented singer songwriter, (also donating his time and talent) that just happens to have once been your next door neighbor, that you have lost contact with 25 years ago. And between music sets, you get to catch up a bit, and meet his wife, and talk about his ghost hunting lectures and books and his upcoming TV series (about ghost hunting!) and yes, you get to say.... here's my contact information .... I want to go ghost hunting too!! (I mean seriously .... did you think I wouldn't say that?!) ... and yes, I wish he was still my neighbor! So, I came home with a new CD from a new favorite singer and will be looking forward to attending one of his lectures and his upcoming TV series. A great meal, a chance to support a volunteer fire department, wonderful entertainment, a reunion with an old friend, a really nice visit with a good friend from my soccer mom days ... perfect weather on a perfect evening spent ...in the heart of America! (Oh and a funky little ring that looks like a little red camera with a rhinestone for the lens.... and a pair of pearl and rhinestone earrings.) Just try to beat all that! Yup ... priceless!!!

A bit of a slide... because, well... you know... I don't really do people pictures! HSS!
