It is the first Sunday of December, the 2nd Sunday of Advent, and we spent the day at http://www.heritagehillgb.org/ (Heritage Hill State Historical Park). We started this almost 18 years ago, although there was a time in the middle when our group had had a falling out with park management that we weren't there. In any case today was very nice. All of the "usual suspects" from Gorrel's Company, of the 60th Rgt of Foote, the Royal Americans, were present. Usually I weave, or something, but today I brought my brown bess musket, and I did all of the soldier type interpretation. I must have fired off about 20 rounds (all blanks) from the bess, and gone through the firing order for almost 200 people. I do so enjoy explaining the history of our area, and the British Colonial involvement with our part of Wisconsin. It is such an unknown bit of local history.

Anyway, we had a lovely day, and a great dinner in the "court house". So wonderful to be with old friends.
