Rick and I took Rani to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday. Yes, it was cold and misty and muddy. But we enjoyed seeing all the various costumes. Some were dressed to the hills while others were very scantily clad. It was interesting... Notice the picture with the horse-drawn carriage is actually a wedding processional. They have a beautiful organic chapel that is covered in vines. One of the pictures has a man with a bunch of bras on a stick - reminded me of Big Daddy!

Mom, Dad, Uncle Paul, and I will be attending the viewing and cemetery services. Gamaw will be there in spirit. She is not quite ready to attend another funeral but said she could serve best by keeping the kids while Mom is away.
