Ren Faire Ramp Up

by Karen on March 23, 2010

Ted and Josie are both participating in the Renaissance Faire this year: Josie in the games booths and Ted as a Friend of the Faire (FAF). We all went  up to the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area last weekend to check out the yard sale and get them set up. It was fun wandering around on the Faire grounds while it was being built and Josie completed her costume.

Now Josie and Ted have to take their classes (accent, character building, costume, etc) and then they’ll be ready to greet and entertain the public.

We also got our Christmas tree up. We had to put it in a new place (where we normally have the futon), but it looks good there:

Holiday Snapshots

December 12, 2009

So, we’ve been busy with the usual holiday stuff: shopping, cooking, eating, singing Christmas carols, going to parties, but we did take a few photos. Josie had her advanced band concert. They sounded great and you could really hear the difference between beginning and advanced band. The auditorium was packed, as usual, so there was [...]

Halloween

November 5, 2009

Here are photos from our Halloween. We had a good time this year. We didn’t carve pumpkins until the last minute and weren’t even sure if we were going to, but then our neighbor, Jenny, invited the neighborhood to carve pumpkins on Saturday morning on Mr. Dick’s lawn. So, we went to Vons and got [...]

Blizzcon Day 2

August 23, 2009

I didn’t actually spend the whole day at Blizzcon on Saturday because I went to watch the LA Sol (womens pro soccer team) play in the championship game. They lost, unfortunately, though I think it was an exciting game for everyone but Sol fans to watch. Josie dressed up more for the second day and [...]

What a day, we had a lot of fun at Blizzcon and this was Josie’s first one. Safe to say she really enjoyed herself. She dressed up as a modern blood elf (pretty modern clothes, but blood elf ears and did her hair in one of the blood elf styles, it was subtle, but quite [...]

Visiting Day At Josie’s Camp

July 13, 2009

Ted and I took the Catalina Express over to Two Harbors and then a little boat up to Catalina Island Camps yesterday to visit Josie. She was at crafts when we got there and finished the necklace we were making, then showed us around camp. She’s having a great time. I think she grew again [...]
