November 1... Sunday morning we made our annual trip down to Hickory Chapel Wesleyan Church for their "Old Fashioned Sunday". We always enjoy this visit to Jamestown to sing for Rev. Doug Caldwell and congregation, and we always look forward to the pot-luck meal with Don. After we packed up we played a quick game of basketball with the Hickory Chapel Youth!

November 8... We always enjoy returning to First Presbyterian in Monroe, NC. Even though there was no BBQ this year, we still had a great time and a fun concert. WXIE Radio's Archie Morgan introduced us, and it was nice to see several friends and former neighbors in attendance, including Mama's roommate from UNCG, Susan Bales.

November 15... On our way to the King Pup Radio Show, we paid a visit to Dennis Jones in WNCW's Studio B for a live taping of "Going Across The Mountains" on the campus of Isothermal Community College. On a sour note, we arrived just in time for the taping, and were disappointed that our cold instruments would not stay in tune!
