Hey Sista !

Pyratical endeavours to be finished ahead! Trading cards, inventory and stow pirate garb and props from last event, inventory the kid's birthday props and costumes..Oi! my aching back!

I'd like to be packing and going..anywhere!

Thanks to Quartermaster James, Lost Soul and Maggie for a great weekend..they took us out black powder shooting and we had a great time, learned a lot..and shot a lot.Definitely something I want to pursue!

Making the last minute preparations to go to Portland for the Swashbucklers Ball!

I'm bakin'

Woke up at 3:30 am, drove 7 hours to Portland, through snow, ice, wind and rain, napped for 3 hours, went and drank, danced and plundered with the greatest bunch o' pirates, slept 4 hours, drove all the way back...and it was totally worth it! Thankee Mates!

but what am I bakin'

sooooon....ye'll be findin' out!

and then I'll make a blueberry pie!

Ye know ye are a pirate, when as a child, yer chocolate bar o' choice is a bounty bar..cause it's coconut and evokes the feeling of marooned pirates.

still bakin body parts

Hmm..Black Friday for the Black Fleet..would that be on the Black Pearl with Blackbeard and Black Bart Roberts?

Ahoy and Welcome aboard Gertie !

Ahoy thar Gertie!

Fair winds t'ye!

Ahoy and thank you for the warm welcome.

Don't worry I'll bring my own covers just so you don't get cold, I'm pretty handy like that. :)

I was more worryin' about the covers on the rum barrels...

sittin' on the dock o' the bay...watchin' the tide roll away...
