Class Reunion of the 1967 Bulldogs.

Becky's class reunion was Friday at David and Betty Gardener's house. The weather was nice and the food was good. Some of you will probably recognize people in the following pictures.

Carolina Downhome Blues Festival

The 16th Carolina Blues festival was held in Camden, SC on October 4, 5 & 6.  Becky and I and the Taylor's attended on Saturday.  We saw at least six acts, all of them were good. A few really stood out.

The Detroit Blues Party was the best at the Festival.  Great delta blues, two guitars and a harmonica. 

 

Travis "Moonchild" Haddix had a seven man band from Cleveland, Oh.  Kind of a bluesie Chuck Berry.  Not really delta blues, but very good.

 

The Tad Walters Duo played at Books on Broad.  Pretty good for South Carolina boys.

 

 

We had dinner at Sam Kendall's.  Good food and service at a reasonable price.  The steaks were tender and cooked to perfection.

 

 

Carthage Tractor Show

This is so much more than a tractor show.  They have everything you can think of.  Even my wife enjoyed it.

It's coming the first weekend in November. It is located just south of Carthage. NC.  If you have any interest in old "stuff", you will love it.  There are tractors, cars, toys, motorcycles, dolls, trains, general store, arts and crafts, food, and so much more.

Following are a few pictures I took in the past.

Nice Flounder

I didn't actually catch this fish, but I did land it with a net.  The fellow who caugh the fish was fishing from a kayak and did not have a net.  He said I could have the fish if I would come over on my boat and get him off his line.  Sounded like a good deal so I did it.

The flounder measured 22 inches long and would have made a nice dinner that night if Becky had not left him in the refigerator when we returned home that afternoon.  Fortunately, we had a friend at the condos who moved him to the freezer so I guess we will be having flounder at a future date.
