Another post about another weekend.

I had lots of fun being a fairy at the Medieval Midsummer Fayre this past Saturday (which I had written a post about and then the computer freaked out and erased it. Sad.), even though I got really sunburned (and I was wearing sun lotion!), and there weren't a lot of kids, and some of the kids that were there were afraid of me. I was told that it was the purple tights. Apparently purple tights are scary. Who knew?
Anyway, it was a fundraiser for the Beaver Dam YMCA, and the goal was to have 200 patrons. We surpassed that number (I don't have official word, but I hear it was around 250) so the YMCA wants it repeated next year! Next year it will be held in late September so as to not interfere with Bristol.
Oh, and I met a five year old girl Milana. She told me lots of jokes. These are three of my favorite, even though they don't make sense.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Diamonds!
Diamonds who?
Diamonds are pretty!

Knock knock!

Pretty!

Pretty diamonds!

Knock knock!

Flowers!
Flowers who?
Flowers are pretty with diamonds in the middle!

There was a terrible storm we got stuck in on the way up to Beaver Dam. We were stuck on a road that was closed down to one lane for 25 miles, and the storm was awful! I checked the weather on my phone and it said the storm was about 7 miles north of Paw Paw. Where do you think we were? About 7 miles north of Paw Paw! Joy. They were predicting 70 MPH winds, which was really knocking us around, along with a a lot of rain, lighting all around us, a green sky, some serious cloud rotations, and lines in the sky (anyone who knows our Texas tornado story knows why lines in the sky would be frightening to us). Jeremy took some pictures on his phone and he posted them on Facebook if anyone is interested in looking. The pictures are good, but they still don't do the storm justice. We were really, really happy to get out of it! Oh yeah, and the temperature dropped 29 degrees in less than 10 minutes.

And of course we had Bristol rehearsals on Sunday. Us Ducks started our morning off dancing with Bristol Buskin Frolic, which was fun. I believe we plan on repeating it this coming weekend.
We got a lot done this weekend, including getting our canvas over some of our workspace. We're really hoping the faire will give us a roof someday, but at least we got new canvas tarps for this year!
