I meant to write about our Midsummer Camping trip, but so many other adventures happened so quickly after, I never got to describe this one. We met up with my husband's colleague, Chad, and his two daughters, Rachel and Tanya. We camped next to the Read More...

Okay, now on to the real reason I'm wearing garb all the time. I miss the SCA terribly, but I'm not able to be involved with it at the moment, due to various reasons in my life. So instead of re-creating the Middle Ages with my local community, Read More...
