Well, all good things come to an end, and last weekend (4/2-3) was the closing weekend for the second year of the Sherwood Forest Renfaire near Austin Texas. We were out for the day on Saturday, and while we spent most of the time seeing friends we only see at faire, Shelley and I of course got a few pictures....


Here's Shelley and I, one of the things eveyone likes about Sherwood is that "It ain't so damn hot this time of year"! Well I think it was about 85 -90 degrees (F) that day! One vendor had a bunch of those wagasa (paper parasols) and they did a brisk business! Plus- they haven't had any rain up there for a month, so it was quite dusty as well...

I took him aside, and he and his wife got to work on it.

I heard there was gonna be a hanging, and sure enough the Sheriff had caught up with one of the merry men...


public executions always draw a crowd!


But Robin and his crew saved the day!
