The morning brought sunshine but along came the wind. Gord, Glen and Bonnie covered the screens (around the awning and the screened room) with tarps to give us some protection from the wind. We had a potluck dinner, hosted by Bonnie and Clyde, with turkey, ham, yams, mashed potatoes, three different dressings, four salads, pickles, cranberries, olives and then pie - cherry, apple, caramel apple, pecan, pumpkin.
Seventeen of us partook of this feast. We ate at noon and it is a good thing we did, because the wind came up with a vengance and the men quickly took tarps down, dismantled screened room and put up the awning. Some of the guests then went home and the rest of us sat around until around 2:30 when it got too cold to sit out.
Spoke with Shirley and our children this afternoon and evening.
Around 6ish Glen and April stopped in to see if we would like to bring our leftovers and join them for turkey sandwiches etc. All in all, even with missing the kids, we had a great day.
