Weekend Update - Birka

[brickhousewench]

Friday night I was on time to pick up Jennifer at the train station (and not just because her train was running late, I was legit on time to pick her up). We had dinner at the 99 restaurant. Then made a quick dash through Hannaford’s to pick up a couple of groceries. When we got home I threw a lemon pound cake in the oven for the Guild meeting

. Last year Small Churl Books was holding their going out of business sale as the owner was retiring from vending (too old to want to haul heavy books around anymore). This year Poison Pen Press was missing.
I am super-sad about small churl. I will try to give poison pen business when I can.

I laughed about Marc turning his honeymoon into a research trip.

I am super sad about Small Churl too. I've bought a ton of books from her over the years.

The research photos were awesome and hilarious. Paintings, weapons, medieval kitchen pr0n, all sorts of good stuff. Marc was showing the photos on the big screen TV and at one point he clicked on to the next photo and while we were waiting for it to load I said, "Wait, go back, I want to look at something." And then the next picture loaded and it was a detail shot of the corner of the painting that I wanted a closer look at. "Get out of my head!" I said. "That's exactly what I wanted to see!"

It was great to see you! I'm glad we could meet up.
