Fall Ranchfest, Day 1 (or 2?)

10/05/06 - 6th Day - Before Supper. Ranchfest officially started yesterday, but we knew that most people would be arriving between then and Saturday afternoon. Our first arrivals got here at midnight last night, and another family arrived this afternoon. Another couple will be here today, and then most of the rest of the folks will be here tomorrow.

Today we started working on screening in the deck. As of 5 pm we had one wall framed in, which isn't much work for one day, but we took a lot of time touring the land and sitting around with the stringed instruments talking and goofing around. Tonight we are having Spaghetti, and there is a rumor that we are having Danielle's lasagna tomorrow night. Spaghetti is our usual Sabbath evening dinner. We are all looking forward to a Sabbath, because we are all very, very tired. By the way, this morning we had muffins, coffee cake, egg/sausage mix and fresh tortillas. Lunch was some beautiful sandwiches.

Tomorrow is "Fiesta de la Paloma" which is the feast of the dove, celebrating the Dove hunting season in Coleman. We went last year and it was quite fun, so we are looking forward to it this year. Some year I might enter the brisket and bean cookoff.

We are meeting for breakfast at a local Santa Anna diner, and will be heading to the fiesta after that. Tomorrow night is live Q&A and then we have fellowship on the Lord's Day.

Hope all is well with all of you.

Psa 25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
