[Syrupmakers] making syrup? accept visitors? Come check us out.

[Bill Outlaw]

Dan,

That surely sounds like a boatload of fun.  I regret that I won't be 
able to make it, but I hope some others from the list will.  Next 
year, I was thinking of collecting syrup-making dates etc of list 
members and posting it; might cause a little more interaction.  This 
is the time of year we all live for!  Some mighty big talk goes on 
around syrup cooking. :-)

(On the other hand, this is Ken's list, so he might want to do the 
collection and posting? . . . even this year.)

What do you think?

Bill
