Sunday BBQ

May 27th, 2009

This past Sunday a few friends got together to smoke some delicious Double h Farms pork and to say goodbye, and best of  luck, to some very dear friends.   Charlottesville is going to  miss the hell out of you two! and I have to say I’m more than a little sad to see you go.  Good Luck in Oregon  April & Alex.

Progress in the garden!
