  1. Music! Reenactor Fest 3 has a wonderful line-up of musical acts joining us this year, spanning centuries of musical styles. Autumn Tree Productions (Stephen!!!) will be bringing us Medieval music, the Battlefield Balladeers and the 2nd South Carolina String Band will delight with songs of the Civil War, and the multi-talented John DuRant and Son will play Colonial music on stage as well as "on the stroll." Don't miss it!
  2. Here's one.... "It has been said to me that the English make a habit of collecting... countries." Good luck..
  3. My word Kenneth, you are a man of many talents! Sadly, I've always wanted to play piano...but my hands are far too small. Perhaps a Clavichord might work.
  4. I have to agree with Ed on the linen topic. I've done a lot of 19th century reenacting where cotton is the main textile. But when introduced to early period reenacting - Linen is the way to go! I don't think I'll go back to cotton now that I've experienced linen! There is a BIG difference in the way it breaths and wicks the sweat from one's body. And as always Ed, you look wonderful!
  5. ^ The special thing I do for halloween has become a tradition for the last five years. A group of friends and I pick a different historical city to spend Halloween in each year. We've done Salem, MA several times, New Port, RI, and now Williamsburg, VA. This give an excuse to dress up in our period correct outfits, visit local haunts, and spends some well needed together time with great friends! < Nothing like a spending a cool but sunny late afternoon in the Rebecca Nurse Homestead graveyard. It tucked away from the main site, just in a tree line lot. Very eeire. V Passing long the question..
  6. Thank you BriarRose. Yes, the book is worn, dog-eared, and soild in spots, but oh, it must have been my Grandmother's very best thing in the whole world. As for your mother, I am sure she is! It is never easy to deal with the separation of a loved one, but memories make them real in the here and now. Never to be forgotten. And thank you Saltypots....so true!
  7. Thanks BriarRose. Yes, I do feel better today. As for the 'individual' - well, all I can say is that person needs to embrace the present and let go of the past. Thanks for the hug...right back at cha!
  8. Thanks Perkeo. Sometimes you just need to reach out and do what you know is best...even if the results aren't what you'd like them to be.
  9. "One day men will look back and say I gave birth to the twentieth century." Jack the Ripper - 1888
  10. Ooo! Very good book Red Cat Jenny To get me in the Fallish/Halloween Mood - "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper"
  11. It's kinda like asking for a BLT and not getting the B or the L, right?
  12. ^ When visitin my twin sister in Maine, I found a blue glass bottle - It looked pretty old. I've kept it along with the shells I found that day < No...nothing was in the blue bottle...no note, no jin, and no gin V Passing long the question
  13. Update: It seems that there were several good finds regarding the white indentured servant. Captain Sterling, Capt. Bo of the WTF co., have either of you obtain additional information since last we spoke?
  14. Oh my word, Kenneth! What a wonderful office. Lots of work that was to do, I am sure of it. Smashing, duck...just smashing!
  15. Ooo! Captain! Can we keep this one....I need someone to be 'devilish' with when Mad Mary Diamond ain't around. Cheeky
  16. By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation. Edmund Burke
  17. (Blushing) .... Well, that does seem to happen, doesn't it?
  18. Silkie, the Captain meant....Are any of the Pyrate Brethren up for such a thing as a Pub Crawl. I hope to make the tail end of it. My flight doesn't come in until about 7:30 pm or so.
  19. 1) Wheat toast and lemon curd 2) A really nice pair of black pumps ($350) - YIKES! 3) Dennis 4) Mary Bridgett - My grandmother
