no snow here, just some quiet time at home (and tons of research to do)

Brid you are gonna get a lot of snow.

Three day weekend!!!  Swimming, biking, eating out, relaxing.

little weekend for me, have tons of work to do and little time to do it in... Will try my best so the mrs will have at least one day to herself though.

Not much planned for this weekend, just hanging out in my home city of Fresno I guess. I was going to visalia just about every weekend for the past year but won't be going there anymore. Lately I've just been bouncing between fresno and my house up in the sierra nevada's near yosemite. did some hiking in yosemite last weekend, so i'm not sure what i want to do this coming weekend. Maybe golf a little bit

Yesterday, we did some cleaning and made a dump run.  Today I'm going to the Oscar Party my book club holds yearly.

Today we are going to relax and then go see a one woman play.  Tomorrow is an SCA meeting.

Sleeping in, some Spring cleaning and a family bike ride.

coffee, coffee, and more coffee. Still looking into forming my own association, which takes time. And doing more and more paperwork.

Weekend was lovely. We spent most of the day at the zoo doing cub scout programs. I love how involved the zoo is with educational programs. We also got to see the african wild dog puppies, the baby rhino, and the newborn baby elephant. Then we had a staff meeting for our local anime convention. Sunday night I went to 'Camelot' with my folks. 

 

Now I'm in the middle of a hectic week of grading and research between that and Gulf Wars. 

We took the doggies for their shots and got their nails trimmed. Next a bike ride and dinner out.

i spent a little time doing  this:

 

 

   

   

 

 

 

i still need to soften the edges, make a leather grip, cover the shield in fabric, attach the shieldboss and add a leather rim, but the basics are there. 3 to go.

update: 

 

all shields are covered, all the handles prepared, first one is painted black. When the paint is dry, time to put some rawhide on the rim. then, make a red design on it. It'll be awesome.

 

*starts catchy tune* "Do you wanna build a shield waaaaalllll...."

Today, I slept in, went to the movies, out for a sandwich, and then a biker tide with my husband.

Spent most of yesterday afternoon and last night driving home from Gulf Wars.  Very sleepy but had a fantastic week. Trying to get back into the groove of all the other things I need to do before work tomorrow. 

Did you have a good war? I was so annoyed I didn't get to go this year. Next year, I will be there!!!

Walk with doggies, lunch out, bike ride.  Nice dinner at home.

I'm off to my Sister's early tomorrow morning and from her house to St. Augustine for some sightseeing and beach combing. I can't wait to go to the old fort. I missed it last time I was there.

Your weekend sounds much more fun than mine, I'm working two 12 hour shifts :(

Have fun, Nic!

 

Crystal that sounds awful. Are you a nurse?

 

I'm going to watch my son in a musical, "Into the Woods."

That is really awesome!

No I just work in a call centre for local authority, it's open 24/7/365 so there always has to be someone there.

 

Who is your son playing? I saw the film when it came out earlier in the year.

 

I cannot see the photos when I'm at work... I'll have to have a look at home.

Same question! Who is your son playing, Ryrin? I love Into the Woods! 

My weekend consisted of power-cleaning, watching the Kentucky Derby, and seeing the new Avengers movies with my family, between bouts of working on my term paper. 

My son was In the ensemble. Mostly he looked like a guard wearing chain mail..

 

On Friday night I had dinner at a girlfriend's house. Lots of fun. Good conversation, steaks, baked potatoes, salad, whiskey and dessert.

St. Augustine was a blast! We went into the historic district in search for some gator tail when we first got there. The only place that had it was a place called the Florida Cracker Cafe. The food was fantastic! The gator tail was fried to perfection and I had the best fish sandwich I had ever tasted. We did a whole lot of shopping and went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Then we hit the beach. It was kind of cold with the wind blowing but I got my feet wet anyway. I also picked up a lot of pretty shells.

 

 

Tomorrow I'm hitting the road for Arkansas to go see my kids and the rest of my family. My daughter's baby shower is on saturday. The rest of the week I'm playing it by ear.
