Thanks so much, Janette, for organizing this, my first winter hangout. Also for cooking so much delicious food, and helping me set up my underquilt that I had never used (not to mention dealing with those 2" tree straps. The weather was perfect. All the folks who came were fun to meet and "hang around" with (see what I did there?). The Kringles that goobie brought were so delicious...every flavor!
I survived the first night at 14º overnight pretty good. I learned a few lessons on how to stay warm so the second night at 21º made me think I would actually do this again.
