Fairy Tale Cupcake Weekend

Friday night I went to a Cajun jam session with Hardingfele, Mr. Hardingfele, and Rockstar Tailor. The jam was in a small town nearby, and their town festival was prominently advertised, but we could not find it anywhere. How, I ask you, are they able to hide an entire festival in a tiny little town?

Saturday Rich got two things off his Bucket List: going to Alaska and eating at the Peruvian restaurant near his house. In the evening a bunch of us went to a bonfire at a county park, and Rich was so tired from his Alaska trip that he fell asleep in front of the fire. Meanwhile, the fire tender had run off to the latrine, and the rest of us had gone up the hill to the chapel and scenic overlook, and a couple of us were playing the violin. Just then Luxuli and her husband arrived at the bonfire, and he was not impressed by the party: one guy asleep in front of the fire? What a happening Saturday night! But they could hear us playing the violin, so they came up the hill too and found the real party.

Sunday my ladies in the Hubby Hunters and I went for a walk as we prayed the rosary, since it was such a beautiful day. (OK Cap did not join us because she had broken her hand. Get better soon, OK Cap!) Then we went to a nearby cupcake shop and sat outside at a bright pink table while eating our huge cupcakes that were practically more frosting than cake. Luxuli said, “I feel like I’m living in a fairy tale!”

Rich’s rose has finally bloomed, and it is white or maybe very pale shell pink. Anyway, it is beautiful. The corn Hardingfele gave me has sprouted, but not the carrots, squash, or pumpkins. All the lilies have buds on them so hopefully very soon I will have some spectacular photos to post here. Meanwhile you will have to make do with the second best photo ever taken of me:



Actually, this is the third best, but I am afraid to post the second best one since it involves a weapon.
