Ren Fest and birthdays

(I was going to post this last night about 10 p.m. or so but blogger stopped working again just as mysteriously as it started working after the first time it mysteriously stopped working. I still don't know whose problem this is.)

OK, Everwood is over and I'm back to burble.

I'm a Hallowe'en baby and my best friend is coming up the Thursday before my birthday to annoy me. (I know you're reading this so . . . ! ) I'm going to drag her to the Texas Renaissance Festival. The prodigal son and his girlfriend may or may not come along. It depends on whether and when the girlfriend can talk her family into going. If they don't go, then the son and the girlfriend will come with us.

I'm dragging my camera along so I can snap pictures. The last few times I've gone, I didn't have a camera so I have no pictures. But this year is different. I've even ordered a nice little camera bag (today as a matter of fact) for the camera. The bag is supposed to have all sorts of little pockets which means I can stuff my money and ID in the bag so I don't have to drag my purse around as well.

I'm rather looking forward to going. I'm looking forward to snapping some shots during the joust and of the performers and of the people in costume who just wander about. Having this new camera has gotten my shutterbug juices flowing again.
