The countdown is over......Opening weekend of MIRF has come and will be gone in about 15 minutes.  It was truly a wonderful weekend.  So many old friends that I had not seen since last season, the smell in the air, the guiness and woodchuck, all the great music that can be heard no matter where you are, the friends that I hardly go a week without talking to - that I met at faire many years ago and looking into their welcoming faces and remembering all the good times (although two were missing and I look forward to when they will get a chance to come).....and holding my husbands hand once more while stolling the lanes.   

ahhhhhhh....I'm home.........

[darkranger]

That really says it all Brother! 

[Jon Foster]

Darkranger, were you there this weekend?

I hope someone has pic of the new dress.

This was taken of Her Majesty in hew new gown, she was visiting us at my baby daughter's birthday party in the castle. Sorry it's not much.

[darkranger]

Yes we were there both days, I don't think that the budget will allow another such trip. Tiring to save money for a day at Mid Mich.

I had a great time on Sunday even with the little rain in the morning. The rest of the day turned out super. I got to see many of my friends I have not seen in 2 years since I didnt get to go last year. I did the wine tasteing and bought some bottles and spent the day with my good friend King Henry the Red from Shiabruck. We did Queens feast, and I got many pictures. Missed Flidais since lady Ann said you left early Sunday. I managed to get in the large RF picture and just had an all around super time. Sorry if I missed anyone. And, to everyone else I did get to see or meet, it was a real pleasure. You are all a great bunch of people to be around.

I am working on my pics now and should have them up by this weekend. I will post when they are ready.

Dang Clisto - I'm sorry I missed you!  Will you be returning?

[Lord Virgil]

I wish I would have missed him, he blamed me for the rain (well, pirates in general but I was dressed as a pirate that day) 

Just kidding of course, it was nice that you could make it to our fine faire.  Any friend of Carl and Donna's is a friend of mine as well.

[LadyAnn]

Oh, don't let that bother you. He tried to blamed me for the rain also, because I went out an got my tall hat w/ feathers, or wait was it something else?

It was great to see you Lord Clisto, and thank you for escorting me safely to the Guinness. *curtsy*

What are your plans for attending ORF this year? I will be there as always their closing weekend.

Was also great to see you. Hey, the rain is water and pirates live upon it. Makes sense to me. LOL...

Lady Ann, it was my pleasure to get you safely to your destination. Always a pleasure to see your smiling face. I was glad I had the opportunity. As far as Ohio, I should be there either the 2nd or 3rd weekend of Oct. Still not sure when yet. But I will keep you posted.
