    I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving with lots of family and food. The weather was almost perfect for the holiday weekend, minus that wind.

Our friend had warned, "Georgia is not the state you left 20 years ago." Though that was true, we were able to enjoy some culinary treats that are still part of the state's culture....
