Let's start with War of the Roses.  I've been to cold Wars, windy Wars, and rainy Wars.  Never have I been to one that had all three at once.  It was miserable.  Which made me very sad.  I wanted to spend time with friends.  So I stuck it out Friday night.  It was very cold but I was dry and managed to get some sleep, a lot of thanks for that was ( Read more... )

So, ok, I didn't realize it's been like 3 weeks since I posted anything worth reading.  Here we go:

Labor Day weekend I spent at NYRF with Kat.   We lucked out and Eamon let us hire him to help out, give food and privy breaks and annoy people into the booth.  Then Lexi volunteered for the remaining Sundays.  Woot!!  Kat and I decided to play with ( Read more... )

I am an aunt!!!!!!!!   In so much as Cousin Roger's wife had their baby tonight, and they're both only children, and we're family, I'm an aunt :-)  I can't wait to meet the little guy this weekend.

All summer to date, grinning_fox and Potted Fox and I have been gearing up for NYRF, the largest faire either of us have vended at.  It's going well enough but it's certainly had it's problems.  The booth is at the very back of the faire, as far as possible from the front gate, in the children's area.  The booth does not do well in children's area.  The ( Read more... )

I've been reminded that I never posted this, just a rant that it got deleted, so here we are:

• So this brings us to Winslowshire Faire. Or, as Chad and I now call it, The Hide The Meat Faire. The faire is on an animal rescue farm. If you can think of the animal, it's probably there, roaming around with the 90 or so cats. The farm owners insist ( Read more... )

Took Friday off to make my usual 4 day weekend.

Friday morning, overslept then the dryer wouldn't dry my clothes.  Got on the road about the time I wanted to arrive in Vermont.

Fox looked like she was going to audition as Marlon Brando's under study.  Lucky for us, she felt worse than she looked :-(  Met the new house goat, Dancer.  Mom refuses to ( Read more... )

And as I said I would, I worked my butt off on Friday and drove like I was in the Grand Prix.  See, when I punched up the address, I realized if I pushed a bit, I could be there in time for grinning_fox 's show of her lighting design.  So I did and I did and got to spend some quality time with Tim watching the show and appreciating Kat's art.  Life was good.   ( Read more... )

 So, I could try recapping the past two weeks, but really, why?  Instead I think some highlights and a rant.

roadflare  is back for his final visit before he leaves for his long cruise.  It's also the official start of faire season.  I headed out to grinning_fox 's house to make some last minute stock items and spend a bit of quality time.   As per usual, spend most of ( Read more... )

Haven't  posted one of these in a bit.

Let's see.  Do I really have to say that I spent the weekend with grinning_fox ?  I mean, come on, it's been a couple weeks, and it seems in the past year and a half or so that, try or try not, we see each other every 2-3 weeks.

This weekend was the wedding of a friend.  It was nice to get extra pretty dressed up and head ( Read more... )

Right, so I've been a bit busy.  It has been pointed out to me that I've been out of touch a bit, so I think I shall remedy with a rundown of what's been going on ( Read more... )
