Picture updates..
Sorry so long without a post. Been busy trying to get a paycheck or two here at the office.
We bought a 100 year old building to move our Law Firm into and I have been part of the crew doing the renovations most of this last week. Construction in the morning, Real Estate closings in the afternoon.
But on to the pictures.
My Dear wonderful wife kari_kyst is part of a youth organization that sends their best leaders to a conference every three years. LAst time... resort in Orlando... this time, Hersey Pennsylvania, the home of chocolate!!! We took the kids with us and had a blast.
The first day, Kari was in meetings and couldn't join us. We went to the Hersey Gardens. It started as a simple Rose garden 80 or so years ago and now is a sprawling maze of roses, flowers, exotic trees, a Butterfly House, you name it. They have dozens of different cultivated varieties of Roses and I got close pictures of many of them. Wife couldn't be there but I wanted her to see them. Pics of them and the rest of the garden can be found here:

The next day we got kari_kyst back and went to the Hersey Amusement park. Our son Dale has never liked Roller Coasters while the daughter, Jordan hasn't found one YET she wont get on. Dale finally tried some coasters and enjoyed them... none of the really big ones but he did loops and some Big hills. Likes the wooden coasters but I think they are too rough. The gate area is ENTIRELY TUDOR!!!!! You know I took pictures of those buildings. Pics of the park and the animals in the zoo that is attached to the park can be found here:

I have another story to tell from the 4th of July weekend trip to Washington DC where I joined and took part in the Folk Life festival but I haven't finished loading up those pics yet. Hopefully tomorrow I can tell that story with Pictures.
One last note... My Squire Ulf, darthsem who has been becoming quite the armor maker recently, made a set of gauntlets for Rozsa, that are beautiful. Engraved leather cuffs for Rozsa to use while being a Siege engineer in the Army of Atlantia. I am quite proud of his work. A few pics...
