Pig Pickin' 2013

Every year our church holds a Pig Pickin' in the fall.  For those not from the south, this means we get a whole pig, rub vinegar and hot pepper on it, and smoke it forever and ever and then eat it.  And it is delicious.  There's usually chicken, brisket and hushpuppies to go along side the pig, and all kinds of other side dishes and desserts brought by members of the congregation.

This is the second year that it has been my responsibility to plan the Pig Pickin' - recruiting volunteers for set up and clean up, making sure the guys doing the meat have all the supplies they need to do so, making sure the schedule looks good the day of, and making sure there's enough food, drinks and paper goods to feed the 150 folks that show up hungry!  It's a ton of work and keeps me very busy during the fall... and a lot, lot of fun!

Unfortunately, we didn't get many photos of James, and the only photos of both Stuart and I are of our backs while we're working hard.  Well... actually, the photo of Stuart is him watching Eddie (our gracious host) work hard while he makes the hush puppies! :)  James took a nap (praise the Lord), so he missed out on some of the fun, and then right before dusk when the light was pretty and I was hoping to get some nice photos of James, it started raining.   Anyways, enjoy what we were able to capture!
