I sure had a great time today. It is my birthday and it was great to get the kitchen pass for the day. Then to top it off when I got home I had a new 20" LCD monitor for my 'puter. So now the screens fit with room to spare. Plus I learned a little something about carving faces from Bart.

I am looking forward to the next time. Arnold kept saying something about smokin some ribs. Don't think we will get much carvin done then. Smile

I went right through Paducah the first weekend of Oct on my way to my brothers. I keep telling myself everytime I do to stop and look up the Arnolds. I could send ma to the quilt shop while we visited but it seems like there is never enough time. Maybe next trip to Hopkinsville I can plan it better.

Wow! You were even able to get ol' pepperoni out for a day of carving! We really have a good time with him in Charlotte! Looks like you had a good time with Arnold! Funny thing, I stopped off in Woodcraft yesterday and was flipping through the Hand Carved Holiday Gifts magazine and there was Arnold starring back at me! That was a great little skinny santa Arnold!!!!

See you all soon! Glad you had a good day together!
