FALL HAS FALLEN
WELL HERE WE ARE INTO SEPTEMBER ALREADY. I’M NEVER QUITE SURE HOW
THIS TIME OF YEAR IS BEST DESCRIBED. IS “LATE SUMMER” A MORE
FITTING DESCRIPTION THAN “EARLY FALL”?? IN ANY CASE IT’S THAT
TIME OF YEAR WHEN THOSE SUMMERTIME CHORES BEGIN TO FADE AND AN
OLD MAN’S THOUGHTS TURN TO THE SHOP. GONE ARE THOUGHTS OF LAWN MOWING AND GARDENING. STRONG ARE THOUGHTS OF WALNUT AND CHERRY; TURNING AND SANDING: PROJECTS STARTED AND PROJECTS PROMISED.
OTHER SIGNS OF FALL INCLUDE: LARGER ATTENDANCE AT OUR TENNESSEE VALLEY WOODWORKERS MEETINGS. THAT IS NOT TO SAY WE’VE HAD LOW ATTENDANCE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A PICNIC
TO BRING OUT THE MEMBERSHIP. I HAVEN’T EATTEN SINCE THEN, I’M
ABOUT TO GET HUNGRY AGAIN. WE USUALLY SEE SOME NEW FACES IN THE
FALL.
BRING A FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR OR ACQUAINTANCE OR EVEN A COMPLETE STRANGER TO THE NEXT MEETING.ONE OF THE STRENGTHS OF OUR GROUP HAS BEEN NEW PEOPLE WITH NEW SKILLS TO SHARE OR NEW QUESTIONS TO ASK.SPOUSES, SONS, DAUGHTERS, COUSINS, AUNTS UNCLES OR OTHER ASSORTED KIN ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
FALL SCHOOL TIME
