Updated home pics

Yes, my home is starting to look like a home finally!

Cooking Skills

Margo's mother has an amazing green thumb, and graced me with a bag full of green tomatoes, as well as a few red ones.

What's a girl to do but make FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!!!!! Yum, yum, yum!!!

And a salad. Nice little thursday treat! Margo shared with me, and so the excellent company made dinner that much nicer.

Another new home

 

Kati and Trace bought a new home, in keeping with the "quick, everyone buy a new home while things are still cheap!" philosophy of San Diego and all of Southern California.

 

Of course, it is a foreclosure, which means it starts out looking aweful, but with friends, family and elbow grease becomes beautiful and awesome.

 

They are still in the elbow grease stage, but it's coming along.

 

The dark red walls took a few coats of primer. Good times~

In old days...

 

I may have looked like this. A black and white of me as the Scotish Lassie, Sarah of the Clan Stuart!

Zoo day!

My zoo pass expires soon, and it was a beautiful day out, so off to the zoo I went.

 

I do believe it was one of the hottest days in San Diego history! At least it felt like it.

 

 

All the "jungle kitties" were sound asleep on their backs, paws up, silently begging to have their exposed bellies scratched. I forgot to take a picture of that, though. My bad!

 

Quite the enjoyable day!

 

How did you do it?

I had someone ask me how I did my hair, and of course the more interesting question is how did I do Margo's hair? Hers turned out so much better anyhow!

Lady Sarah of the Clan Stuart

The Enchanted Shire entrance, with the lovely "Lady Sarah of the Clan Stuart" about to grace the festivities with her presence.

We were in presence of royalty, the Queen of England herself, with her handsome court.

Margo, I mean, "Lady Mallory of the Chateau" of Swan Lake (as I teased her)was true nobility as well, stunning in her glory and beauty.

Ay, and the foods! Turkey legs hit the spot!

Two lovely ladies, and we were greeted by handsome gents in perfect attire. When did that look go out of style? Such a pity!

I found a wall with centuries old skeletons, skulls and crossbones, so, of course, had to take a picture with such a pleasant backdrop.

And, aye, there was jousting. The 4 time world jousting champion was there, and he particularly fancied our Lady Mallory of the Chateau. I, myself, was chosen among all the fair maidens, was given a long stemmed red rose, and brought to the front so "My Knight" could present the lady (me) who he would fight in honor of! His devotion was paired with a kiss, and fight he did! I blushed. I'm pretty sure my face was the color of my bodice! He got knocked off his horse by the 4 time world champion jouster. Well, at least my honor was jousted for! I simply must add "Had my honor jousted over by a knight in shining honor after a kiss and a rose was bestowed" to my life resume. Flattering!

Our Lady Mallory was jailed by the town Constable. Her crime? Being too beautiful! Her retort? "Unhand me vile sir! This is beneith my station!" Brilliant! I finally bailed her out. Nobility should not be burdoned with the company of commoners, crime committing ones to boot!

We did make friends, the Queen herself, was thoroughly impressed, and even felt we should join them in the courts in the future. Such flattery.

It's good to be me in any time period. Huzzah!
