After coming back home to the Farmington,GA area about a year ago, I had to do some work on my old farm house . I had to replace the stairway. I talked to so many carpenters, and no one could replicate the "feel" of an old stairs appropriate to this style of house. I found by way of a friend- a very talented carpenter who worked just down the street, and he did a beautiful job. I was so impressed by his attention to authenticity, his workmanship and understanding, that I felt like I had to share this with your readers. It would make such an interesting story, as this group of artisans is local, and seem to be able to step back in time to create some incredibly beautiful truly handcrafted work. Not only carpentry, but metal castings, architectural pieces, custom furniture, and more. They call themselves Watson Springs, and are comprised of a real mix of artists. Their website is watsonsprings.com . I hope you can find some time to look at their website, or better yet pay them a visit. I know you will be impressed to find craftsmanship such as theirs alive and well, right here in our community!! Thanks, Vicki Fekete 2300 Watson Springs Rd Watkinsville GA 30677 770-313-3549 I would like to commend you all for a great magazine!

Mr. E.J. Daniel is a veteran of WW2 and was a US postman. He is quite interesting to talk to and can tell you stories about growing up in the depression and WW2. He is also into politics is very up to date with what is going on in this year’s election. I thought if you interviewed him many people would find him quite interesting and it would be a great little read in the newspaper or magazine especially with Veterans day coming up. Please let me know if you would be interested. Thank you so much for your time.

I was actually in a photograph in one of the articles. I was wondering if you could please send me a copy. It is the article about Forest Hills Resort. I was getting a massage and a guy came and took a picture. Please let me know if you can send this to me and I will give you my address.

It was definitely pro Obama and Martin. It absolutely did not give a fair assessment of John McCain's position on the economy, Iraq, or energy, but seemed to rattle off untruths about Obama to make him look good. Don't you have better control over your writers. I was disgusted and will never pick up this magazine again. I just read the Oct. issue about the presidential and senatorial candidates.

I think it is important that we learn to become "greener" as a society. Thank you for reminding us to take care of the earth.

We own a restaurant and were wondering how we could get copies of it in our location in Kennesaw. Could you please let us know if this is possible. We do a high volume lunch and many customers are dinning alone and looking for something to read! Thank you!
