For Mike Ditz

[John Thawley]

Sorry, I meant to post these last week. You had inquired... :)

[Mike Ditz]

Oh man thanks! It hasn't changed much..I had some good times at the Round up, way back when.

So is the Cider Mill still there? I loved those little greasy donuts...

I hope to make it back there for my HS reunion in November.

Yeah.... the Cider Mill is still there.... :) It's always bitter sweet for me... Labor Day weekend, the cider mill opens and the swimming pool closes. :(

As much as I love being in Franklin, the parade always is always such a surreal study of characters. It's so strange to see the young prominent wealth walking around... the 30 something fathers dressed like skateboarders and the 30 something "milfs" dressed like ... what's the PC term? Exoctic dancers... or adult entertaiers. LOL - I mean they're definitely some hotties... and huge money... but it's all too strange.

It's a spectacular area though.... at least 9 months out of the year. The older I get the more I hate winter. LOL
