You Know You're a True Rennie if...

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Your home faire opens today and you can't be there, so you put on all the CDs you've bought from the faire's performers and play them all day.

You've been sewing for the past ten years and only when you have to make a dress to go to your cousin's wedding do you realize you've never sewn a zipper.

Oh this is too funny....and the story of my life. Vivat!

My wife does the castle thread. To find the best photos, she has told me that she had had to learn some new languages.

...your inner voice starts talking with a faux german accent (thank you Doktor Kaboom!)

All hail Doktor Kaboom! Huzzah! lol . . . .

KABOOM!!!

When your friend emails you asking if you're going to the local county fair, and when you respond you have to retype "fair" several times because it just doesn't look right at all without the "e" on the end.

When you start planning the landscaping for the yard in the new house and there are major sections devoted to faire in one way or another
Fairy Garden by back door,
Gnome Garden by front door,
Pirate Garden in back corner of yard

*No rum garden though... apparently it doesn't grow on trees*

But it does grow on stalks!!!  Maybe you could have a small patch of sugar cane in the fourth corner?!?    (with an ornate still disguised as a lovely fountain right in the center!!!)

*Viola! Rum Garden!!!*

Rum irrigation system to water it all?

[Anna Iram]

LOL...I like that....


Or just put all those empties to good use?

A quote from the narrator about Bottle Village and Grandma Prisbry: "if you can have that magical part of yourself and never lose it...and still be a four year old in so many places..I think that's the best part of life..."


Looking forward to seeing what magical things you do with your home Teach.

When you post your pictures from a fun summer at faire and friends and family think you picked up a second job as performer there.

This may have already been posted but oh well . . .

...you have to tell your kids: "No dueling in the car!"  Our son brought wooden swords to their b-day party at the grandparents over the weekend, and started dueling his sister 5 minutes after we left home.  She was almost defenseless, as she only wielded an old telescoping radio antenna!

...you have a "Doktor Kaboom" themed birthday party: trebuchet hurling water balloons, Mentos in Diet Coke, & smoke bombs in an air canon!

You can't get the glitter out of your makeup bag. So whenever you apply "normal" makeup there is always a speck or two of glitter hanging around. It's embarrassing.

[bellevivre]

not embarrassing! awesome! lol i always feel better on days when my inner Rennie sparkles through!
