Supporting Passions

Published by on October 1, 2009 | 1 Response

Dryst is a jock. He absolutely loves being active with his body, and especially adores team sports. This despite the fact that neither parent is sports-oriented. I’ve never had an interest in such pursuits, to the point where I used to avoid anything to do with sports (though watching your own kids play is actually […]

We had Girls’ Night Out last night. What fun! Four of us went out for Chinese food, then to see the movie “Julie & Julia.” Awesome movie! The best films, in my opinion, are the ones that make you laugh aloud. We were totally cracking up. And the timing for my friend LM and I […]

The entire Pennsic experience was amazing! We all had a fabulous time. It makes us want to get even more involved in the SCA. Dryst served as a page for the matriarch of our camp, and also did some water-bearing and armor toting for a couple of the camp’s warriors. He wants to get his […]

We’re new to it, so our tents are still modern and we have a limited amount of period gear. Some folks who’ve been doing re-enactment […]
