Before the Faire pics..

Very early that morning...

WANDERING THE FAIRE

My cousin and I somehow found each other
and we took a picture together...

Here's Lisa getting a henna tatoo. Pretty spiffy,eh

Lisa shows off her henna next to Kimphy

Paula had fun shopping...

AT THE JOUST

As we waited for the last joust of the day, we took some pictures to pass the time...

The four of us

The ladies in garb...

Paula tests her mead holding technique...

Valerie & Kimphy

Paula & Lisa, two versions

One of those goofy pics of me...

First you get the rules in a fine Scottish burr..

Isn't the horse beautiful?

Then the knights salute the crowd...

Since we were sitting in the "bad" guy's section, we got to cheer for our favorite, Sir Christian the Green Knight...

Later on, after the joust, we just all had to say hello to Justin. He greeted Lisa with a hug and me with the same and kiss on the cheek! Yowsa! He's a sweetie to be sure and of course I had my picture taken with him. He made me take my glasses off. ("But I can't see!" I said. "Don't see," replied he. "Just feel." Yeah, his armor! LOL!)

Paula and Lisa liked this fellow in the armor and managed to catch up with him for a photo...

THE SHIRT

Okay, if you haven't seen The 13th Warrior, then you won't understand the significance of "The Shirt." This fine piece of material, now owned by Miss Lisa herself, was worn by Vladimir Kulich (Buliwyf) in the aformentioned film. We all got to try it on. Very neat shirt, very big!...

Kimphy got to wear it twice...
The innocent pose... I bet Paula could sleep in this...

I'm not the big Vlad fan that everyone else was, but I didn't mind wearing the shirt...

And the ladies sans garb (and "The Shirt")...

I must thank my very good company for the weekend. It was most wonderful to meet Kimphy & Paula! You two were a pleasure to hang out with. And as always, it's great getting together with Lisa. It's nice to know we have more in common than just "what's his name" as Rachel would call him. <BEG>
