things that go clank in the night
Home again after a week of lovely, lovely vacation.
Last weekend was my final weekend this season as a guest braider at the Ohio renfest, this time accompanied by xuth, who was traveling out that direction to see family. Attendance at the faire was nearly dead on Saturday, possibly due to the cooler weather, which made it completely unprofitable for me but still a lot of fun. I got introduced to X's kin on Sunday and then to lovely Hocking Hills on Monday, then was kidnapped back to Boston on Tuesday.
Wednesday through Friday was spent relaxing, seeing various people, getting rained on, climbing, and navigating the MBTA. Saturday we went out to play on bouncy stilts for a couple hours before I had to fly back home to Pittsburgh.
Sadly, USAir delayed my flight just enough so that I missed trick-or-treating with the jboys, but mj2q was nice enough to take them for the evening, so when grouchyoldcoot kindly picked me up from PIT, I had some free time. He invited me to a small dinner party he was heading to, so in the car ride back to my house, we mentally threw together a simple accompanying costume for me, cobbled together with spare parts from around our houses.
Other Tryggvassen, with his trusty blk-clank sidekick.
I only spent about 5 minutes in the stilts, sadly, but they ended up being great party entertainment, as two of the other guests got to dance around in them.
Now I have the sun outside, dinner on the stove, boys happily playing, a very cuddly kitty, and plans for interesting small projects for myself this week.
Life is good.
