It was one of the best 16 day vacations I've had ...



*The best weather we've had in years Almost every day was sunny and warm, but not brutally hot. The evening were gorgeous and the skies went on forever. Beautiful stars pretty much every night.
*Sharing the same spot with my household, my friends, my family & really the finest folks ever, we may occasionally fuss at each other, but we laugh and play as much as we work. Thank you [livejournal.com profile] wilfulcait, [livejournal.com profile] autox323is, [livejournal.com profile] mellyflori,[livejournal.com profile] svandevander, [livejournal.com profile] larlartu, [livejournal.com profile] cussata, [livejournal.com profile] ebullientjen, [livejournal.com profile] lapsedagnostic, [livejournal.com profile] ani_moore, [livejournal.com profile] russell_moore for making my Pennsic the best ever.
*Seeing my long distance loves and friends, [livejournal.com profile] much_ado, [livejournal.com profile] matthew_g, [livejournal.com profile] quicktongue, [livejournal.com profile] the_nita, [livejournal.com profile] liamstliam, [livejournal.com profile] alricthemad, [livejournal.com profile] kellfire,and a number of others that I just can't remember all the LJ names for.
*The shopping, while limited for *me* this year, was still fabulous.
*Spending time at my favorite pub in the entire world The Chalkman Pub and hanging out with the best group of guys.
*The Known World Petanque tournament down in the dell with the Quebecois -- even though Dugan wiped us out in the first round.... out of that the delightful Ludwig gave us a set of Petanque balls and said in the most adorable french accent "You practice and come back again next year". Love 'em madly. I'm not in any of the pictures - but if you want to know what I'm talking about, check our [livejournal.com profile] lalartu's pictures here.
*Relaxing at the Inner Vagabond Coffehouse once again
*Working Chirurgeon's Point with the some of the best, most caring foks I know - even though we all got royally screwed in the end.
*a new Pennsic calendar -- with a countdown of days
*getting to know a [livejournal.com profile] belthazar_b better
*exploring the joys of their first war with my beautiful wife [livejournal.com profile] ani_moore and my boyfriend [livejournal.com profile] russell_moore -- hooked I tell you
*playing Euchre with my peeps -- won some, lost a lot more, laughed my ass off every time
*having my hubby [livejournal.com profile] lapsedagnostic and my girlies with me, happy family, lots of fun
*my old babysitter Susan coming to take the girls for a few hours each day - best money spent on peace of mind
*sharing breakfast with my wife most mornings
*winning a raffle of a black/red bellydancing outfit that belonged to my Tuchux friend Talia - at the Tuchux Charity Tourney for the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer.
*having [livejournal.com profile] wilfulcait there for *every* day of my War
*bellydancing at our camp party with the gorgeous [livejournal.com profile] mellyflori - see previous post for pictures.

I'll probably be adding more to the above list ....

Downs

*major heartbreak at the War for me - no elaboration, but I'm hurting
*the Pennsic Mayor fucking with the Chirurgeonate at War and pissing off the populace and my friends (more on this in a separate post perhaps).
*not getting to meet [livejournal.com profile] a_treitell, [livejournal.com profile] a_triath, [livejournal.com profile] aztecknight, or [livejournal.com profile] hawkbychoice
*not having my oldest daughter there
*the guys leaving before "eat it, drink it, burn it" night Sat.
*little to no play at War *sigh*, not the end of the world, but still a bummer


There will probably be more posts about the War as I start to catch up on my sleep -- but I wanted to have the highlights down before they faded.

dang it... A year to wait now for a potential meeting.

I plan on making it up for land grab next year, heading home for a week and then being up for war week so hopefully we can make that meeting happen then.

Did someone say something about Great Big Sea??? I listened to couple of their CD's for the drive up. Them and Gaelic Storm.

Yay! I made someone's list :)

I was serious last night, that I'd like to find time sometime soon (perhaps after school starts) for that cuppa coffee/tea we've been talking about for years *hugs* and thanks for your empathy~
