Passports for all family members!

Martin has recently become attached to a specific toy - a stuffed pig. We've been noticing a growing attachment and had been looking for a "backup" Piggy, but it seems it was a seasonal item and the store no longer carries it ( Read more... )

At my parents' mid-summer party, Ash and I were approached by a friend of the family.

C: You guys are into gaming, right? Like tabletop games? D&D?
Ash: Yeah.
C: Well, my dad was really into them, and I've got some of his old books I'm looking to get rid of. You can look through them and keep what you want, and sell or whatever the rest.

Picnic in our backyard. Pizza and fruit.

Good News: I'm a new ST at Shadow Accord

Martin probably has Hand Foot And Mouth. A high fever (104 F) that has since passed.

Rest of the time sitting on my bum and occasionally asking if there was something I or other NPCs could be doing. *frownyface ( Read more... )

Went to the ST meeting today. Everyone else was late due to traffic and/or forgetting to move their clocks forward, so I had a nice chat with the host. When everyone else arrived we ran through the "big plot" for the weekend, setting everything out on a timeline, arranging who was available to play what part when, and ironing out some details. Then ( Read more... )
