no had a wonderful time rain and wind and all. The baker tent with a
properly placed fire stayed might toasty even with driving sleet and rain.
the only down side was is having to hang the canvas in the barn to dry when
we go home. Bought a brazier from smiling fox and cooked the meals under the
canopy out front .
It was a spirtual blessing for all and had and few interesting spirtual
conversations with my brothers while watching the rain and listening to wild
turkeys as an alarm clock this morning.
