So my brother and his family are currently at the Maryland RenFaire.

NOT ONLY are Mediaeval Baebes playing...

But WOLGEMUT is there too!!!!!

The stinker called me from the Faire to rub my nose in it.

And in traditional RenFaire anachronism, they brought their own turkey legs to munch on for repast.

This is my brother's father-in-law's pizza joint...

And this is my sister in law.

You'd think that with all the various family members who have email who were at the Brit yesterday, ONE OF THEM would have taken the 2 minutes to EMAIL ME THE BABY'S NAME.

Thanks for nothing guys.

Just got back from the SCA Chanukah event. Will post more later but I just wanted to show these photos.

I think Zach has been waiting for this opportunity for the past 12 years...



( More here )

Oh and what opportunity is that you might ask? NS's tabard is Zach's SCA heraldry of a diagonal blue line with blue ram's horns on a yellow background. The line across with the three vertical stripes is a heraldic indicator that NS is the first born son and therefore the inheritor.

My Hebrew birthday starts tomorrow night and TC gave me my present now since they'll be with their dad tomorrow.

She made a wire and bead candle holder. More important than her gift were her words which were int he card she gave me:

"It's not every day that your mommy has a birthday so you always make it as special as possible. So that's why I thought of the following:
Each bead is a family member
and the candle is something to light your way
and with light and family you can't go the wrong way.
Have a wonderful and happy birthday and I hope you have many more.

Love Tzippy and your family"

Needless to say I cried when I read it.

And once in a great while I step around to the other side of the camera.
( You've been warned )

Zach and I will definitely be in the NY/CT area mid-May for a week/week and a half. His grandparents will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on May 19th, so we'll be in CT for Shabbat.

Sunday, May 21st is a Brooklyn SCA event, I recommend those who are curious, or those who are already involved come, and show support for the newly restarted Brooklyn Canton. This will be their first event.

I'd also love to get together with folks!!! So check your calendars, and we'll decide!

In addition... if anyone would like me to bring something (headscarves, Bukarian yarmulkas or the like), let me know, please.

And finally, baby bro in Silver Spring is waiting for a shout out from the D&D and SCAdians there! wulffclan@aol.com in the subject, write Devora's friend in caps....

So.... baby bro and his family are moving down to Silver Spring on Thursday. His email address is wulffclan@aol.com

He wants to know if I know anyone who plays D&D... Told him I didn't know, but that I knew Jewish folks in the SCA...his reaction was "sweet!"

In case anyone is interested, he's 26 (well, will be in June) his wife is 24ish and their daughter will be 1 in March.
