Reflections on Ole Timey

Busy, busy weekend. Friday we watched a friend of ours get married - congratulations to Colleen and John. Kathi actually sang in for the ceremony, so that was nice to watch. At the wedding we connected with Randy and Sarah, and they came back to our place and spent the night. Today we went with the Surface's to the Algonquin Mill Festival. What is the Algonquin Mill Festival you ask? Well, it's the local ole' timey town festival held in Carroll County. It has your typical ole' timey type things - Apple Cider, raccoon-skin caps, bluegrass music. It was a hoot.

At the festival there was a used book hut. Randy spotted an antique book from 1941 called Is Tomorrow Hitler's? It is an American journalist writing before Pearl Harbor about the need for America to fight Hitler's Germany. A little piece of history, and I got it for $3.

If you really wanted to be old-timey, you should drop the "rac" and just say "coon-skin"...
