Random thoughts...
1. One should not wear Star Trek costumes to a renaissance fest. Sorry. Just don't.
1a. If you MUST, because you refuse to listen to the above, then go for the cheesy factor, and go in a small group and act like an away team. Carry the communicators, make comments for your "log", etc. People are already going to think you're a few steps beyond weird, you might as well laugh at yourself with them and go with it, you know?
...I still think you just plain shouldn't wear it, but...
2. Watching Maisy at 12:30 AM with the girl is fun. Especially if she goes to sleep afterwards (which she did, yay!).
3. New sunglasses are nice. :)
4. So is coming up with plans that may actually mean an affordable addition to the house, without adding anything to the footprint - let's hear it for getting the kiddos their own rooms AND a play area! (Okay, so maybe technically it's not so much an addition as it is making livable space out of what isn't at the moment - but that's what makes it affordable.)
5. MUST get one of the Einstein toys from the current Happy Meal line. I'm sure NOBODY is surprised that I'd want that, right?
6. I'm going to be completely messed up all week because the hubby was home today - I'm not going to know what day it is, heh.
Have a great week! Happy Memorial Day!

Prayers requested.
Hey y'all,
A family from the school I worked at has lost their husband/father after an illness (still unknown). He was just shy of 44 years old, and leaves his wife and children behind.
If you're the praying type, please offer a few for the Allens? Thank you.

REO Speedwagon and the Coffin
Here's the REO Speedwagon. It's a pretty spiffy looking truck, if you ask me!
And here's the front emblem. Might not be a really clear shot of it - sorry! Best I could do with my phone.
And finally, here's the Coffin - hee! It's a steam automobile, and Coffin was the maker's last name - apparently, this is the only one like it that he made.

Geek Fest, Part 2
Well, we did get to see the Star Trek movie, though not last weekend. We both really liked it - how they handled the alternate reality thing, how the crew was brought together (I knew who McCoy was before he was introduced, LOL, and OS ST fans will know how and why), and Spock's dialogue at the end (among other things).
This weekend we were on a car tour with the local group of the Horseless Carriage Club. Pics will be posted as soon as my cell phone recharges - if nothing else, just for the shot of (an) REO Speedwagon. The truck, not the band. ;) We also had a good visit at the Dublin Dr. Pepper bottling plant (the first, and the only one still doing granulated cane sugar). Now, I never really cared for Dr. Pepper. I could drink it, but it wasn't something I'd choose. What a DIFFERENCE the real sugar makes! I think I'm glad it's not easy to get, because wow. I like. So I did buy a case while I was there (it's still in the trunk of the FIL's Studebaker - have to pick it up tomorrow). You can order some here. Seriously worth it.
Mom - I'm planning to put some aside to bring up with me when we go up to visit. Bringing real-sugar Dr. Pepper up, taking Winery at Wolf Creek wine back - hee! Wish *they* shipped. Oh well!
