For those of you who asked in earlier threads...

I found Il Gelato that ira posted about a year of so ago. Very yummy. I asked for a mix of chocolate and coconut. Great combo!

Who knew? Gelato in Watkinsville of all places!

They call it "Ira's gelato"?? Who knew

starrsville

Well, they don't (I did) - but they should!

Gelato in Watkinsville is indeed amazing. What would really be beyond belief is if they sold it in Bogart. Or Between.

hello gf starrsville...I started to post this earlier, but decided not to. Now I have had a glass of wine and am a little braver. So, I certainly hope SR doesn't see this post and call you any more names!!!

Well, if she realizes I stopped for gelato, she just may! But, I only had 1 scoop. Surely that should count for something!

I've very glad you decided to post it! It put a smile on my face!

I knew someone who won a songwriting contest in Athens. The title had to be "I Can Almost See Bogart From Here". For a couple of weeks, it was the #1 requested song on the country radio station!

They are adding a store at the mall, atlswan. Bogart could be next!

OWJ, we ought to go to the Madison Tour of Homes in Dec. and do a gelato run to Watkinsville (just up the road).

Maybe others from the GTG would want to come and we can do an action version of a GTG.

ira DID invite us for tea on his porch if we were in the area!

Blue Willow is just down the road in Social Circle too. Fried green tomatoes - yum!

Starrs--I think I've been in the house with the piano...my friend's engagement party was at a gorgeous historic home in Madison, think she said he was the mayor or former mayor--anyway, the room with the piano looks like the same house! How weird is that??

Thanks for the New Year's wishes. I do hate using personal days but what choice do I have If I didn't have to use my own days, I'd have another 20 days of sick leave built up (2 holidays/yr x10yrs) which would be really handy if I ever need maternity leave!
