Two things I've learned today. One, don't let your children download Limewire or anything else that you're not sure about onto the computer. Two, since children know how to mess things up on the computer, they also know where to get it fixed. Okay, so my daughter tried to download something and it messed everything up on my computer. BUT, she was able to tell me how to save all my music so that when I take my computer in to get fixed, I will not lose any of my music files when the computer gets… Continue

Perhaps next weekend I'll remember to bring a change of clothes and change into mundane garb so I can go around and take pictures like a tourist. :) It was such fun though. The many merchant stalls where one co… Continue

A day to travel back in time

I am so excited about this weekend! The Faires have started up here in my area and it's time to get out all my Faire garb, dress up, and travel back in time. I have my best Irish linen gown pressed and embroidered for the pageant. The historical society that I belong to will have an archery field set up and a small list field for the fighters. My recorders are placed in the leather bag, my goblet strapped to the belt, and my slippers have new silk ribbons and new soles sewn on them for dancing t… Continue
