Just before New Year’s Trey and I got to meet up with our friends Shane & Mitzi McBride at her parents’ in Vonore, TN. Trey got to play with Shane’s son Zack who is just a bit older than him. Zack was wearing an awesome Peanuts t-shirt that said “Mr. Strong” across it.

We toured Mitzi’s dad’s workshop where he creates beautiful wood bowls and vases from what look like worthless chunks of lumber. Trey and Zack quickly got to work hammering and beating wooden sticks. In one of the photos it looks like Zack is about to clobber Trey, but don’t worry, no one was injured.
