The blustery weekend did keep the bugs away but not the rain. The wind also ripped a big hole in the Border Downs Pavilion so there was little shade and/or places to hide from the rain. When it wasn't raining it was rather nice. Spent the majority of the day visiting. I was surprised to see Geoffrey and Tatiana there but nice too. Geoffrey and a bunch of the guys were very into making their own portable forge.
I brought several things to work on but had no enthusiasm. Del tried to teach a bunch of us to drum. I have a hard time keeping an even beat and I tend to speed up or slow down. Kaia showed up in the afternoon to show me how to lucet. I must have left my patience at home because I gave up on that after a while. During some of the rain showers, Rue and I went and sat in my van since we didn't feel like taking over anyone's tent. Nice and warm. We both took a little nap thanks to reclining seats.
It continued to rain off and on the rest of the afternoon and by early evening I had decided to head home. The wind must have taken a lot out of me because I was totally drained by the time I got home.
The weather gods were very cruel because Sunday was the perfect day to be outside.
This week is a short work week which will probably feel extra long. Not sure if I will be doing anything for the 4th. Not one of my favorite holidays. Guess we will see what happens.

The weekend comes, I have good intentions to do many chore type stuff at home. I get up on Saturday, do a few and take a break and boom the afternoon is shot, all I want to do in the evening is watch TV and very little got done. Bleh.
I did watch Linda Linda Linda. Its cute. Nothing much happens but the music is good.
Doctor Who was amusing. The Doctor's fashback was hilarious. If your curious to what happened to the Doctor when he was searching for Charlemagne you can read about it here.

Its been a long week. Things have been moving and shaking at MPOW. Noisy and dusty. Makes it very hard to concentrate but I am glad I don't have to be involved in the toting and shifting. Here are a few pictures of the deconstruction
.
Erin has been in town for a few days on her move back to Seattle. It has been good to catch up and do some porch sitting and blowing bubbles with the the boys. Hard to believe Ethan is 4 and Simon is almost 2.
Not sure what the plans are for the weekend are. Probably hang out at home and contemplate tackling the mess that is my closet.
Since its not too exciting around here is a little Friday funnie. Pie poetry.

There is no charge for awesomeness
The Ren Fair was fun. Much better than last year when it would rain every half hour. It was a little warm and humid but not too bad. Nice to see the sun.
Hagan and I left got to SF around 10:30. Stopped by the leather store and visited with Hark while Hagan got a few things. There were a good number of people at the fair. Found the shire pavilion and got settled in. This year they were set up a little further away from the main area but it was nicer since there was room to have fighting. There were quiet a few people that stopped by to see what we were all about so hopefully Border Downs will get a few new members. I have a few pictures up on my flickr page.
Spent some of the day wandering around. Finally found John and Red Callie's booth. They had opted to be in the expo building (good move) but it took awhile to finally find them. The fair closed at 7 but we hung out for awhile longer visiting. Finally left around 8 and headed supper at Chili's with Basil. Dinner was good but I was dead tired. Hagan wanted to go to B&N after supper. Thankfully it was a quick trip. Picked up some manga. I really need to go through my books to see what I have. I have totally lost track of series I am reading.
On the drive home we got quite a light show. I was glad it didn't rain too much on us. By the time we got back to town it was raining. Bleh.
Sunday did laundry and a bit of knitting. In the evening went to see Kung Fu Panda which was awesome. I kind of wish they had animated the whole film like the opening but on the whole it is a must see.

Friday!!!!!
Yay its Friday and there is sunshine and blue sky. Haven't seen that in a while. Its been one rain storm after another. I am hoping the weekend will be somewhat nice.
Siouxland Ren Fair is this weekend. Still planning on going on Saturday. Should be a good time. Its been a few weeks since I have seen everyone. If the weather stinks can always bail out and go to the movies or shopping. Procured yarn to finish Lilies gifts so should finish that up this weekend too.
This week has been quiet a drag so I am glad its over.

Weekend that was
The weekend was rather sedate which in retrospect exactly what I needed. Friday night went out to dinner with Sarah and Prairie and then ran around in the freaky rain storm. It lasted about 15 minutes. Lilies weather has officially arrived. After that watched Sarah Jane and the Doctor.
Saturday finally mailed out some packages I have had been meaning to mail for weeks. Then worked on Lilies gifts until I ran out of purple yarn. Kaia was going to pick up some in SF this weekend but they didn't have any purple at Hobby Lobby. Poo. Will have to check Micheals and if they don't have any will have to check Sioux City.
Don't think anything too exciting is happening this week. Sioux Falls Ren Fair this week and Border Downs is doing its usual demo. Will probably go up on Saturday and hang out.
