SCOTTY & FRIENDS GREAT SMOKEOUT

[Waldo]

I drove down to Lake Degray yesterday morning to break bread with Scotty and his friends who were doing their annual cookout/campout.
Ozark Paul had built a special spit to roast a whole hog on and when I arrived, all dressed in my hillbilly attire, it was well on its way to being ready for a feast

It was then on down to Daryl's campground where a hearty breakfast of dutch oven biscuits, pan fried bacon, scrambled eggs, apricot preserves and coffee was awaiting me to get my morning kicked off.

As I was finishing this gourmet breakfast I heard a rustling in the bushes and turned to see what kind of critter was about to invade the cammpsite..It was Rocky, she had apparently smelled the bacon frying from up at Pauls campground and headed on down to join us.

After breakfast, I headed back up to Ozark Pauls where Scotty was overlooking the roasting of the pig. Got a quick snapshot of scotty

Sat and chewed the fat for a spell, received a bottle of scottys Itilian Style Liquer and had to head on back home.

Did not get to stay long enough to enjoy the "feast of the beast" tepe
and when the pictures were taken it was a bit early for the wines to be flowing. They were there though.
By the way........A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!

 

[Brewgrrrl]

Wow.

 

[Waldo]

OK...Visualize this. The sun is setting slowly on the horizon, a cool crisp autum breeze is rippling the water across the lake as the Bald Eagle slowly and gracefully wings his way back to his nest among the dead timber standing in the back of the pocket. The crackle of the fire in the fire pit intensifies as another log is added. The clink of wine glasses breaks the silence of this glorious moment in time as all the forum members in attendance at the campout toast one another for being a part of this unforgettable gathering of friends.

 

[Brewgrrrl]

Some things pictures can't do justice. I'm glad you all had such a terrific gathering. Friends are the BEST (especially friends who cook and make alcohol).

 

[Miss Rocky]

Our anual gathering at lake de gray ARKANSASwould not be complete without a visit from Waldo.
i keep dreaming that some of the fine vine wines group would make an anualgathering of the FVW group at the same time and place.




AND BY THE WAY

How did the peach cobbler go down scotty?

 

[Miss Rocky]

How did the peach cobbler go down scotty?

The peach cobbler was wonderful, as I knew it would be. Everyone loved it and we shared it with whomever came along. It didn't stay around long.


Thanks so much for the cobbler and your delicious wine, Waldo. Hope that next year you can stay around longer. We all enjoy your company.
