3 more sleeps!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the countdown is in it's final days! We are three sleeps away from departing for Mississinewa! Things could not be more hectic!

Big D is on the road and fighting some sort of cold/flu bug as he tries to make his way home. It breaks my heart that I can't help him when he's away other than google things for him to try to get some relief. Hopefully he is home tomorrow night and can get some rest.

There is no rest for JM, Mr E and Mrs C. We set up the giant marquee today just to make sure we had all the parts. Big D's dad and step mom came to give us a hand with the setup and loading of the vehicles. Mr E and Mrs C are leaving a day before us to take a more leisurely trip.

JM and I have been madly prepping last minute items. Big D's shirts are done and his waistcoat is halfway there. 

We've also tried our hand at a historic vermicelli egg noodle recipe to add to soup. We found a video from Jas Townsend & Son on YouTube that gives a step by step of the recipe from "The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy" by Hannah Glasse, first published in 1747. I can't wait to try out these recipes on site and make amazing campfire meals.

That's all for now. I probably won't get a chance to post again until after Mississinewa. Get ready for some picture heavy posts my friends!
