How did the rum tasting go? I was looking at that picture of women - I bet it drove men to drink! :)

Thank you for asking, Alicia!  We had a great time - the expert from LCBO was very good - had lots of information and put some fun into it.  At the end, he had a bar tending competition where a group created a new drink and named it.  There certainly were some interested concoctions!

The good thing is, everyone went home without a need for a designated driver, although we had planned for that.

So next time, have to get you down here!!

Hi Jan: I am doing geneology, have been an Ontario history nut all my life, and 'might' sew something for 1812. I teach costuming at Queen's and may use 1812 garments for my March teaching unit. I hope to go to some events over the summer. I was in Gan on Saturday re "What to wear'. (And I'm trying to do some writing re family history which includes some 1812. My family have proven 7 UEL lineages.) And I might find some new friends in the process. Anne
