"Sight" is possibly the most taken for granted of the senses, but one other just as crucial might be "common."

As usual, I'm behind in posting galleries here. 

This year, for pre-season, the weather was cold and wet for dress rehearsal Saturday, so my assistant and I had to do a mini-studio setup in the Great Hall of the castle.  Many thanks to Sherwood for allowing us to use a corner to do cast photos.   Then on pre-season Sunday we were back outside with the lights as per normal (it was *much* nicer weather).  Anyway:

Pre-season (indoors) cast mini-studio photos: https://www.vancestrickland.photography/RenFaires/SWFF25/SWFF25-PreSeason-Indoors


Pre-season (outdoors) cast photos: https://www.vancestrickland.photography/RenFaires/SWFF25/SWFF25-PreSeason-Outdoors


Many thanks to Zane Baker (Entertainment Director) and GambleGold (Cast Director) and Suzanne McBride (my assistant) for helping to pull this off.  Also to all the cast members willing to play between their other duties that weekend.

Weird world indeed. Polarized governments; A changing planet: Naturally occurring or influenced; Dormant dictators, now waging wars. My house is not concerned though. We have faith in prophecy. The perfect world is in sight.

good luck to you both..I know I owe almost 3,000...and on SS...so deliberately waiting to file.

That hurts. We owed over 7k last year. That was a shock. We've since adjusted our withholding. Hopefully we break even this year.

yes, ouch ///hope you make out ok

Good luck to you all; it's such a trepidatious time of year. My dad died when I was 2, and my brother was 6 mos. and mom was expecting our youngest brother. She used insurance to pay off the house, then we lived on social security until she went to nursing school when I was about 14. I asked her once how she managed, and she said every month she wrote the checks, and said a prayer when she mailed them. That's probably not financial advice most experts would give

your mom sounds amazing. strong smart woman.
