After the battle on Saturday, the boys settled in to clean their guns …
While those that didn’t have guns to clean, reflected on the day …
In a very serious way …
As the guys were cleaning their guns, Kitty was getting her cornbread cooked. We hadn’t yet attempted cornbread, so it was a bit of a learning process, but it turned out really well.
Since Kris grew up in South Carolina, he became our taste tester. He would know if it was any good since he has eaten A LOT of corn bread in his life …
It was determined to be good!! So they took it off the fire, wrapped it up, and got ready to heat the dinner. Dinner tonight was an awesome bean stew that Lori makes. She made this at Fort Ti last year and we have been begging her since to make it again. Which she kindly did for us today.
Dinner was very yummy, everyone filled their bellies.
After dinner we had a little birthday celebration for Bruce whose birthday was today, and for Janie whose birthday was a few days prior.
Debbie brought strawberry shortcake, which was greatly enjoyed.
Once dessert was done it was time for the boys to get their military pay …
Then the women got paid, and some of them had a very safe place to keep that money …
Finally it was time to settle in and start some nighttime activities. These involved playing checkers …
Taking pictures …
Weaving …
Playing music …
Cutting up the drunken watermelon …
Going for walks …
Watching a play …
And listening to stories …
Saturday was a great day. It was a fun time with friends, and the best part of it all was we got to wake up in the morning and do it all again. Stayed tuned for all the action from Sunday! If you want to see all my pictures from Saturday, be sure to check out my gallery here.
Believe me yours faithfully,
Rachel
