I didn't take as many pictures this year as normal, as I didn't want to have the camera ( Read more... )

Well my plans for the weekend took a major turn this weekend. Saturday was a day of getting stuff done around the house as planned, and some time getting everything ready to go to the faire today. Well I woke up around 7:00 this morning and got on my computer to check email etc. While checking my Twitter friends list, I saw a tweet from a cast ( Read more... )
