back from the past.

I'm back and finally recovered from the weekend. For some reason it always takes me at least a few days to recover fully after I come back from a living history event. This one was so much fun. It's really what I needed after all that silly internet drama. THANK YOU guys for being so nice to me! All your comments made me smile. There's always going to be someone who hates what you do and that's just the way it is. And that surely isn't going to stop me from having fun!



I haven't much time to blabber on today, so I'm just going to leave you with some images from the weekend. The event was held in a little village called Boonesfield and the time period was 1856. We had an election (where women were not allowed to vote, but a few of us women wrote in names and one actually got counted! hah!) and there was a lady's lyceum on women's rights. My friend Brandi spent months putting this together and it turned out absolutely fabulous. There was dancing, singing and banjos in the evening and throughout the day. And there was an array of candy and goods at Deborah's mercantile. I sometimes wish I could just live like this forever. It's nice to come back to the modern world, though. I do enjoy many of our conveniences. I never know quite how glorious a shower is until I come back from one of these events. I'd say the event was a total success and I'm eager to go back in time again. {Gosh I love being a nerd.}
