I just found (like 5 minutes ago) the pix of the space we took for insurance, when we had the fire back there in December 2000. The first Mudgather we held here was just a few months later. I remember all the mess still being here and sitting on the porch wrapped up tight to stay warm, totally stressed out and numb inside and out, but glad to see Catters sitting in the brisk but sunny side yard, in the sunshine, picking merrily away.

I've just come in from the pickin'/playroom to scan the photos, and I'll hang them up somewhere online as "before". Then when I come across the digital camera (hint hint Lily dontcha have one?) I can take some shots as "after".
