CHATTERBOX has been missing for almost 2 months due to technical problems with phone/internet.The good news is that it is all systems go now, so enjoy the catch up. Libor has expressed in his special way how much we have been missed!
.....the catch up will be over several editions....so be ready for an overdose! Be assured if you have sent me something in the last couple of months for inclusion, it will appear...
Way back in December I was lucky enough to attend the Cavaliers of Greater Atlanta Christmas lunch at the Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant in Buckhead, Atlanta. I was welcomed warmly by the members and had great fun. The scrumptious lunch was followed by a presentation of various annual awards and then we played a game called "Dirty Santa" which involved the exchange of Xmas gifts. I was indeed fortunate to come away with a limited edition print by local artist and Cavalier owner, Carol Lesley.

Country Cooking is something Southern folks know all about and a couple of days later Cavalier owners Hollis and Carol Land invited me to sample some of the local Georgia delicacies. Winter in the South is almost t-shirt weather!

Wonderful antibellum home turned into a tasteful Restaurant.
..what we didn't eat was taken home in a "doggy bag"
I had gone over to attend the Cavaliers of the South/ Midwest shows in New Orleans that had Michael Levy, Markus Kirschbaum, Klaus Vorderstrasse and Pat Landers judging. From Atlanta it was an 8 hour drive and we did this in convoy with some other Cavalier exhibitors stopping off at a Crackerbarrel country store to eat lunch and walk the dogs.
By the time we got to New Orleans it was getting dark and we met up with some other travellers.
