Lots to update!
These past few weeks have flown by. We had a fantastic weekend visit/Austin vacation with the Connors family. Especially because most of it was spent playing games in the hotel room, and talking over good eats from Whole Foods. I'm glad we will see you again in *under* a month! It had been way way too long.
Here are some pictures from the weekend: enjoying some live Blues in Austin, and taking in a sunset from the deck of Oasis.
Keeping with the adventurous spirit, this weekend we grabbed a friend, complete with his period Viking garb, and headed to a Renaissance Festival south of Dallas. The fairgrounds were beautiful; they had taken great care to maintain the integrity of the natural environment. The majority of the grounds were covered in shade from the large trees, and there were several bridges you need to cross in order to negotiate the creek. It lent an almost authentic air to.. well, lets face it, the glorious campyness that is a Renaissance Festival.
In a strange twist of fate, Dan thinks this man is the same man that hosted Turtle Races in the MN Ren. Fest. from when he was a child. Apparently, when he was young he bought the identical shirt from a Turtle Racer - and the routine was eerily similar. Conspiracy? What do you think Di, do you recognize this Carnie?
In addition to the over abundance of 40 year old men in spandex tights, and busty women -- we managed to find He-Man!
But the biggest news of all, we got a kitten!! We're big softies. After meeting those two foster kittens, and seeing how happy Loki was to have another cat to play with -- we just couldn't say no. So without further-to-do..
I'd like to introduce our new fur baby, Finnegan!
Of course, Finnegan can only keep up for 45 minutes before being completely exhausted.
He sleeps like a wet noodle. An adorable, pot-bellied, purring wet noodle. (^^ this is his favorite sleep pose)
awwww.... i have TWO grandkitties! :-)
