I'm not kidding cloud 9 everyone!
Now the second Order of business is tomorrow. I can't believe its already been so long since I posted my Shh its a secret blogfest. I have alot of entries so far and its not to late to sign up and post tomorrow. Here is the link...Shh its a secret
Tomorrow is also the last day of this week to participate in my Wit win- wing it
What did I promise, oh yeah pictures of the renassance side, leprechans, elk, and a stuck up kilt maker.
Did I mention what I bought there? Guess what- there were celtic pens!!!!!!! I bought a cute little pen that you can stick in a billfold.
Ahem...now that I have that out of my system, here is the brisk story of the Stuck up kilt maker.
He was the only one there, balding and didn't seem to want to help us with anything. We were at his tent because my manly man wanted to know his colors and he seemed the only one with that information. Of course we were polite and asked about the clans and colors.
"How much does a kilt cost?" Asked manly man
"Its hand made." the Snobish kilt maker pauses..."$750.00"
OUCH!!!!!!!! then the guy proceeds to go on about how the material comes right from Scotland and how he sorta feels about the idea people wearing them that aren't "hand made" Sorry I stopped paying attention to that part because he was rude when he spoke.
Ok now for promised pictures! First up the Elk. There was a huge male bull chasing off a little bull from his female heard right on the side walk as we were walking up.

PICTURES!!!! Oh my gosh I loved them! Thank you so much! You're such a sweetheart answering my question on the blog today! I'm always so curious, it's quite a bit different than the Houston on (which I'll take pictures of on October 9th for the world to see!!!) Looks like it was quite the gathering!!
Congrats on making the list!! Checking out the poem now!
Congratulations, Summer!
And thanks for sharing the pictures. They are feeding my Wyoming envy something awful, though. lol
Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and yay blogfest! am so very happy for you:)
First of all, yes, your poem is really there.
Second,how incredibly gripping it was. What a beautiful piece of writing. No wonder you were chosen. You know, between you and Roland D., I can't stop thinking about poetry lately, I feel I might just have to write some. :)
Interesting. Trying to get my head around the female knight. Was your kilt man from Scotland or American Scots. The Scottish people I know are very friendly and down to earth!
Great photos.
Congratulations! That's fantastic! And I love your pictures. A long LONG time ago I used to work as a 'soda wench' at a renaissance faire. I haven't been to one in years but those pictures take me back...
Jen~~ I can't wait to see those pictures. should be interesting to see the differences.
C.N~~ Thanks for commenting, hey I have but-loads of Wyoming pictures. I almost put up the mountain picture instead of the sunset picture.
Damyanti~~ Thank you
Wendy~~ Phew I'm glad I'm not seeing things. If you want to write a poem- then go for it. :)
Ann~~ I didn't really ask him, he just cl;aimed to be from Scotland I think. He wasn't nice enough for me to inquire further information from him.
Sondrae~~ A wench- wow that must have been fun!
Congrats on the Lit Lab win!! Yay! And holy elk, leprechauns, kilts, and jousts! :o) Great stuff, Summer. Thanks for the pictures and all the excitement. That bull is HUGE. :o)
Cheers,
Jackee

Thank you so much for coming over and checking on me. You are the best.
I loved your poem. I am so happy for you!!! That's huge! I was happy that you gave us a little background about you... your poem meant so much more. It's a very powerful piece. Be very proud of yourself while you're up there on cloud nine!
Thank you Michelle
Congrats Summer!!!! Yay!! That's so awesome! Truly great poem, powerful. I didn't know whether to cry because it's so sad or smile cause you won. So I did a little of both.
Holy crude... the blogfest is tomorrow! So much for my early night. :D I completely spaced it out. That's okay, I have an idea floating in my head for it.
Jaycee, Thanks and I can't wait to read whatever you post for it. :)
Congrats! Lovely photos!!!
