It was great seeing everyone last weekend. The tavern was quite the rowdy spot to be Saturday evening - I think that Allendale riff raff is the cause of all of it. They should be tarred, feathered (we had the feathers - thanks to Mr. Rooster!) and run out of town on a rail.

That's not very nice.

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful time. To the two military boys who wanted to learn to bake, your help in the kitchen was wonderful. Come back anytime. To our friends from Wisconsin, you brought a new element to our weekend and you are always welcome. To those who couldn't be with us, we missed your presence, and hope to see you very soon. I promised Freddie and Anna some pictures.

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

One more tintype. Ugly, I know...
(If I would have known ahead of time that Decker was going to be there, I would have had one taken in "The Suit").

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

And that is a FINE suit.....

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

Oh my, what a glorius 'letter from home' in that group image!

I owe a day of quilting, or more for my absence, and thought of the love, work and laughter in that magic place often as I proceeded through a very different and unexpected day-----but a day also surrounded and upheld by love, work, and laughter.

With fond hopes of seeing that fine assembly again soon,

[Emily Burns]

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

Yes, ma'am. I understand about the love, work and laughter. I can't tell you how many times we missed your dear voice and that familiar way in which you guide and direct us with the benefit of your knowledge and experience. We did save a little quilting for you. I imagine we'll carry that quilt frame around for the rest of the year, anyway.

I'm not sure we realize how important our living history family is . . . until events like this. People who were acquaintances and then friends have somewhere along the way come to belong to us as surely as if they were blood relations.

Kind regards,

"With fond hopes of seeing that fine assembly again soon", We'll second that Miss Terri.

"I'm not sure we realize how important our living history family is?" we have come to realise how much I can sure you Miss Emily, and we are very glad that we are still in your thoughts too. The photos are wonderful, the Baptism, what can I say.

Please convey to Miss Trisha that my wife still has a dress that it is in three parts, and will be looking for someone with skill to put it all back together.

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

There's a tin type of the baptism as well, I've been checking my e-mail diligently but it hasn't come yet. I'll be sure to share it as soon as it gets here.

It's amazing how the fleet of foot "chicken chaser" was so adept at sharing virtues from the Good Book. Maybe there was something in that practice of learning all about the vices one preaches against . . .

Kind regards,

Re: Perryville "On the Farm"

Yes, Mr. Hopper, we can get that dress back together. It does require the dress and the sewer to be on the same continent, however.

I felt very honored that Emily let me have the job of quilting the square the Hoppers sent for the quilt. You'll be pleased to know that due to its uniqueness, it has a central place on the quilt.

Terre, we all missed you last weekend and are very sad for the reason you had to miss Perryville on the Farm. We did manage to get some quilting done and there's plenty left for you to contribute to. I'm glad I also had the chance to help on it.
