How I Spent My Weekend...

While so many of my friends were dealing with Hurricane Irene, I, although feeling a bit guilty for our nice weather, was at the State Fair on Saturday night and the Renaissance Fest for Sunday. So, for those of you digging out of tree branches and debris and dealing with water issues who might happen to read my blog, here is life away from the coast. Your lives will return to normal too, I'm sure, and I'm grateful that my friends on the Coast seem to have survived in good shape, for the most part.
