Had to make a quick overnight trip down-state this weekend. Just got back to the lake-area as I write this and it is VERY good to be back. I am reminded why my wife Jean and I chose to live in Garrett County: beautiful scenery, friendly people and a much slower pace. Down-state has a lot going for it, but at this point in my life, I’ll take Garrett County any day!

My wife Jean (second from left in the photo below) had some friends up this weekend for their annual “girls weekend.” They had a great time, including a fun shopping trip to Schoolhouse Earth. I don’t know who that fellow with the horns is next to my wife but I intend to find out!
