First faire

Well the first faire was a bit of a bust money wise! Fun wise it was great. I took 2 grand kids & they had a blast....Q had never been to a faire before, he dressed up all weekend long as a pirate & got to meet tons of them, even 'Captain Jack Sparrow' Talk about one excited 4 year old....Lily (Lena's girl) has been to tons of these things & showed him the ropes lol. They saw Knights & Fairies, Pirates & Lords & Ladys, Barbarians & even got fight them. OH my. Fire dancers & Belly dancers.
Took walk abouts with the pugs, there were 4 of them....the Lady Lily, Gus the Barbarian (mine), Ivan the teribal ( Brennas), & Deliliha the Teriable ( Gina from the Seattle Knights)....2 kids 4 Pugs....Yep pretty cute....

This was the first year for this little faire, & the people that put it on tried real hard. Dameon & I spent some time talking with them about advertizing & PR work for next year. They did a good job, just didn't get the word out far enough & or long enough for there to be very many patrons. It takes time to build up any business & I have no prob helping these guys getting tis off the ground. The site was beautiful & I would love to go back....just with more people LOL.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend! :-)

Just a Post

So far the summer has been busy & it's about to get busier! Next week the faires start!!!! So I'll be working 3 days a week at the store, weekends at faire, with Monday & Friday off for cleaning & visiting people who don't go to faires. I got the Gig at the 4th of July in Tacoma & that should be one of my biggest of the year & they offerd me Taste of Tacoma for next year....YAHOO. I'm making lots of great contacts so for a new business & thats great.

I miss Jeff tons & we talk on the phone 4 or 5 times a day but its not the same. I miss the contact & touching. No seperation next year darn it!! He comes with me....

I've visited with Jay & got to see the boys preform once, still no phone call from Mom, we'll see if she call's at all. I hope she does. I enjoyed my visit with Jay & hope to see him more. I'd like to get to see Kris too. Saw Kelly last weeek & will see her again in a week or so. Chris & Patrick will be up in July to help out with one event in Org. it's so big I thought I'd need some help LOL. And she's coming up for research on her book anyway soooo two birds , one stone, right.

I miss the kids & grandkids too, but am getting to spend some time with Q, he's going camping to an event with me next weekend. I think he'll love it. Knights & Pirates will be everywere so should be great fun for a kid. Plus camping with Nana, & the pugs. I mean what more can a kid ask for right. I'm also taking Lilly, Lena's daughter (she's a grandkid too) so they should keep each other happy during the day. I'm hoping anyway!
