NORTH MEETS SOUTH IN HISTORIC OCCASION


History was made today as SMUG celebrated their fourth annual Summer Picnic at the summer home of the director in beautiful Stanhope PEI.The annual event was graced by the director of YesterUkes, Dianne Sutton and her daughter, Jessica Sutton, all the way from Woodruff, South Carolina. Unfortunately the function was held up from the proposed starting time due to a GPS error in the car of the Suttons, when their GPS didn't recognize Stanhope as a place, but through the other wonder of another modern technology, the cell phone, we all got together shortly after 10 o'clock and following introductions the whole group spent an hour jamming on the ukulele and learned a new song,"JUST HANG LOOSE" soon to also be heard in South Carolina.
Dianne and David had become friends three years ago after a contact was made on the internet between YesterUkes and SMUG. During the time Dianne has helped SMUG as they have matured and moved into local stardom on stage and TV.
The morning was made complete when the burgers came from the barbecue accompanied by all the salads and sweets supplied by the group.Unfortunately about 10 of the SMUG group were uable to enjoy the picnic due to other summer and family commitments.
It should be noted that the accent that some of the YesterUkes were concerned Dianne might acquire while she was on PEI, won't probably happen, as we are all aware that she had arrived with a dandy, and that's another story!!Good thing the SMUG director recognized the name "Sutton". Dianne, it's been a joy to have had you and Jessica with us for today and we hope you will also enjoy the next four days on PEI as you make your way on our little Island and hopefully see why we that live here believe it to be so special. Good wishes from us SMUGGERS to all of your YESTERUKES.The past three years of being in touch has been an inspiration.
Thanks Jessica for the great photography....we are looking forward to more on another blog real soon!
