All About Books, Etc.

So, in case you thought that all I ever write about is Narnia...I do have another blog! It's called All About Books, Etc., and it just recently underwent MASSIVE renovations. Now, instead of being exclusively "all about books" it now contains other topics related to my education (hence All About Books, ETC.). So please stop by!

Are You Going to Scarborough Faire?

This is what happened during our a wonderful 4-day getaway in Dallas/Waxahachie area:


The Mandatory high-speed spin in the hotel office chair...after all, what are hotels for?

You know, I could have sworn he died...several centuries ago.

The infamous town crier...yes, the bell-on-head act is singularly hers.



There was the town jester...with his dog Blockhead. That name really upset Dumpling.

Below is an amazing falcon. It is trying to eat the lure at the "Bird of Prey" demonstration. Believe me, it was really astounding.

At the end of the joust, the "knight" lost his lance and sheild....without falling off the horse. How did he manage that?

Me and Dumpling perched on the "Narnian Queen" throne. I was wearing my red costume, the one you can see the back of below

Now, we're off to archery. Yes! Finally, a bow that doesn't have that big clunky handle on it! (Yes, I bought one. No, I did not hit the target.)

London: An Acrostic

London

Lovely in life, hardy enough to go

On. Though the enemies would

Not let it live, it rose again.

Down in ashes, to be built again. Home to many,

Once capitol of an empire. World of a country,

Not forgotten.
