Day 4: Remembering fun

For ten years, about ten years ago, Mark and I used to play with the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group who enjoy medieval reenactment.  For various reasons, we drifted away from it.

I took Emily to an event today.  http://www.pipcom.com/~thule/pikemans2011.html.  Part of the thing for me was to remember what I used to do for fun.  I have trouble with that sometimes.  I've had to make lists in the past of things I might like to do so that when I actually had time, I wouldn't spend it all trying to figure out what to do.

It was great seeing Helen and Sue/Anne (who I shall think of as SueAnne from now on :)), Evan, Danielle and the other singers.  I so didn't surprise myself by ending up with some books.  Garb is typically better than it used to be.   It felt very familiar, though.  It was good, I think.  I had a great time with Emily, anyway.

I did forget to take the camera, which was probably a good thing.  Sometimes I need to participate rather than observe.  So no pictures of the event.  But Emily and I stopped at a farmer's market and bought this:
