I have a much deeper respect for editors and other folks that coordinate content for the masses.  Every time I work this news letter stuff I struggle with what to include and wind up waiting for that one last piece to include.  If think you missed the July issue, don't worry, I just never got to closure on the content and it has become August.  Remember in a former life I was an engineer.

 

Since I last wrote, I have had the pleasure of visiting the Washington DC area to attend our youngest daughter, Leah's, engagement party.  Her fiancee, Ross proposed last winter and his folks throw them a garden party to celebrate.  Ross and Leah plan to tie the knot officially next June in Florida.   Its great to see them happy and thriving with all that is going on in the world.

 

We are still holding our own at Words and AfterWords.  Our line up for August/September is packed with more great music, art and wonder book releases.  Our lunch menu has expanded to included hickory smoked chicken salad, roast turkey sandwiches, a round "baseball sized" hamburger we call the Grand Slam Burger and a apple wood smoked pork loin  sandwich.  BBQ Ribs, roast chicken,  beef brisket, and other great smoked items now complement our evening menus AfterHours.  With our expanded capacity, we now cater parties up to 150 folks.  If you are planing an event in the area, we would love to provide food, food service, and even coordinate the entertainment to make it a success.  Call us for a quote.  If you need space, consider using AfterWords after 7PM during the week for you own private venue.  Won't be long till the fireplace outside is roaring!

In August we launch another segment of our business,  AfterWords AfterHours Radio.  With the guidance of Doug Driesel we start taping our shows for radio.  The idea is to highlight local musical talent and expose listeners to the sounds of the Spring River Area and AfterWords.  Contact us for more details on how you may attend.   We also joined facebook with hopes of getting better connected to our community of fans.  I plan to post last minute event news and ideas we are considering for acts, meals etc.  We'd love to have you as friends.
