We had a good time at Faire – I was able to help in the ‘traditional school’ – teaching kids how to make baskets and ragdolls – and learn about a few period handwork projects myself. I’m talking to another lady about working out something we can teach the patrons easily….we are doing research right now. Personally I think blackwork is beautifu!! Eric’s schoolmaster gig was well received and even some patrons joined his ‘classes’ on the constellation and the field trips.

One funny note…J3(2) and J2(7) stayed with Grammy. During one phone call to Grammy she said, “J3 is saying more words now! He can say bandaid….but you don’t want to know why!” LOL That cracked me up all day! And, I still don’t know why! hmm.

Off to take a nap with J3 – so tired!

Sorry I’ve not been updating. Eric did indeed lose his job. Feels like we are starting over but we are trying to remain peaceful and leave our worries in the Lord’s hands. We knew that job was temporary…but I was really praying for some peace and stability. I’m not sure we’ll EVER have that. Maybe that will be one of the trials of living a life for the Lord.

I’ll try to update more starting next week. It’s hard to keep to our schedule when Eric is at home with us!
