Speaking of breakfast, thanks to Up Goose Creek for organizing Breakfast at Patty's and to everyone who showed up.

We had RedmondKR, Mello, Up Goose Creek, Betty Bean, Rikki, friends of RedmondKR's who came later and I apologize I don't remember their names, the Mrs. and me, and Mello's special surprise guest, Blount Co. Commissioner Wendy Pitts Reeves.

(Oh, and Caner1 stopped by and revealed herself. She runs the gifts and antiques shop next door to Patty's and apparently does a pretty good business on eBay.)

There was a whole lot of yakking and gossip going on with this bunch, and it was great meeting some of the new folks in person for the first time.

It was fun, and the food was great. The pancakes were as huge as they were the first time we were there, and I don't think anyone finished them. And special thanks to Up Goose Creek for the custom made tin-foil hat and the I (heart) South Knox badges.
