Happy Thanksgiving 2011

The Sandman Family celebrated Thanksgiving again this year at the Coraopolis Moose. Attendance estimated at 60. We missed Aunt Mary, as she was still recovering in the hospital. Lots of activities besides turkey...

Woodford Reserve Distillery Visit

On our way to Nashville, we stopped at the Woodford Reserve Distillery.  Dad has acquired a taste for bourbon. 


Copper stills (where the magic happens)

Dad participates in demonstration.


Time to enjoy some bourbon.


By the way, we stopped in Wheeling for some gambling fun.  The 50 cent wheel co-operated on this night.

Hoping on this trip I could be a cover girl for the mailer.  Better luck next time. :)
