on the long weekend
some of everything
sharing a spaghetti dinner with family
relaxing with friends at the lake
by the fire
waking up to a morning moon
a visit to the renaissance festival
cavorting with royalty, vikings, faerie folk, gnomes, jesters, magicians, musicians, artisans, knights, peasants, horses, dogs, dancers, warriors, barbarians, huns, lords and ladies…
and on the third day, she rested.
“on a long weekend, the possibilities are endless,
and we have the freedom to do as much or as little as we please.”

Are those samurai swords that a woman has over her back and beside her while she is buying coffee, or something similar, at that coffee bar, Beth?

it was a man who had all kind of things attached and it does look like a samurai sword. representations of many different types of weapons, accessories, clothing, and style all are there, and often mixed together. the festival is very accepting of every kind of garb and lots of compliments all around

I’m a little late to this party but the photo of the fair maiden and the guy with what looks like a lampshade on his head is very funny…Did they have cell phones back then? :) Was this up north at your families’ lake place?
