Connecticut Renaissance Faire …

 

Connecticut Renaissance Faire

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02104

This was the first year in forever that we were not attending King Richard’s Faire. We didn’t get free tickets this year and we got a bit priced out of the event. Eva offered the suggestion of going to the Connecticut Renaissance Faire instead. The prices were better and the drive was about the same. So we got tickets and went down to see what it was all about.

It was a nice Ren Faire and Eva had a great time dressed as a pirate. I put my horns on over my hat but that was the extent of me getting dressed up. I kept forgetting they were there and took off my hat only to have them fall off over and over. There were some performers and we watched a couple of shows that were enjoyable. They do not have a big production like KRF does but that is okay. We were keeping everything low key today.

When we left I charted our course over to Shady Glen, a restaurant I heard about on Tik Tok. They do something really unique with the cheeseburgers. The burgers have these sort of Cheese Wings on them that are fried so they are a little crispy. I had wanted to try them and was very excited for them but they were just okay. At least we did not make a special two hour trip just for the burgers.

We did not try their ice cream, though, maybe another time.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
