Nothing like a little childhood trauma... The big bearded guy is Doc. Dave, and and the twig beside is his son Garion:





You will notice the look of consternation on the poor kids face. The kid had a scar on his leg. He started out saying that it happened when he fell into a bush. Doc said to him "No, never start a story about a scar like that! There has to be a tiger involved in the story. Now get it right!" So the kid started again about how he and his friends were walking and came across a rattlesnake, which peaked Garion's attention. Garion now got into things by asking the kid how the snake related to the tiger in the bush. The kid at this point was getting very frustrated, so I chimed in with "He killed the tiger with the rattle snake, and made snake in a rope to drag the tiger's corpse home!" The conversation went on for a good 5 minutes before the kid got exasperated and went away, to Doc yelling out "Next time, come back with that tiger you killed with the snake!" Poor kid had no idea what he was in for... (Dave and Garion are two of our group's swordsmen. The fighting part of the group calls itself the Wolves of Dunvegan. Their tent had a major malfunction in the storm of the night before, so we were all sharing the main tent.)

This was the second time Saturday saw looks of consternation on the faces of people in the Ren Scots tent...

So moving right along to the textile workers, we have Carrie, our newest member, who is apprenticed to the weavers.



The kilted gentleman in the photo is Kenny, one of our other fighters. He is Garion's brother.



The older lady in the picture is Leslie. She's one of our master weavers/spinners/knitters/seamstresses.

Next up, we have Cliff, our clan blacksmith, with Ravan, his apprentice (and also, I would add, my son):





(Head is cut off... I can't see what pictures I'm taking... Back to that stupid broken screen again... )

The boy in (almost) full garb. His truis are still in the making:

Garion creating great childhood memories for these wee'uns:







More to come!! I'm being paged to make a grocery store run.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but that doesn't look like a kilt to me.
