Thanks for the great LJ picnic - Michigan style

BillyJ, glad to hear you enjoyed your picnic. We had a great time at your in NC earlier this month. For me, it was a great day getting to know some of the other LJ’s. We look forward to seeing more pictures of your event and the attendee’s

Glad to hear you all had a good time.

Thanks guys. This was the first time meeting these guys – felt like I knew them all my life. It was a lot of fun – and imagine this – I learned a thing or two talking to these guys!!!! Heck, that was better than reading about how to do something in a magazine.

Hope the LJ in Arizona have a great time, too.

Glad to see a report of the picnic. I’m glad that everyone that you had a GREAT TIME.

It does look like you all had fun and the trip to the sawyier was a good idea.

Glad to see you all had a great event and had lots of fun. Can’t wait to see more pictures and hear more from the others. Might want to go back and put some names with the pictures so we can identify the LJ’s there.

Thanks for posting.
I would like to get to one of these sometime.

Thanks for the suggestion Jerry. Yes, it does help knowing who is in the pics!

Thanks Bill for getting the ball rolling on the blog report yes you were corect that was my wife Nancy in the picture. You had everyone’s name right so far. I will get my pics uploaded and post them sometime today. I had an awesome time. I picked up some spalted maple, 1/ inch curly maple and some 1/4 inch walnut for 10 bucks. ( a hell of a steal) SteveMI made a commemorative plaque for us all to take home. My wife was so impressed with it she took it to work to show everyone.

Rick – thanks. Could you post a pic of the plaque? I think that would be great to show other LJ.
