I guess it is my turn now!

Here is Kiltimabar looking at peace with the world and proudly sporting his dandelion plant badge.

A great picture of our own Amazing Madalyn and her wonderful sister Lisa

My Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and blackbeard (Rick)

Rick is wearing the kilt he finished on Friday using Barb and Elsie's "The Art of Kilt Making" and a sporran he whipped up on Saturday! Great work Rick!

Here is NorCalPiper, walkerk, and The F-H.C.A.G.

I am hesitant to post pictures of Josh as my F-H.C.A.G. kept referring to him as "The Tall, Dark and Handsome one" . (I have been informed by colleagues in the Mod Squad that this doesn't constitute a breach of forum rules so I can't ban him for this! )

Though my lovely wife wasn't able to join us Saturday, we were able to have a day together on Sunday

We were greeted at the gate by some Renaissance Era reenactors one of whom showed a bit of surprise at our somewhat, different mods of attire.

I mentioned to her that it was "A John Steed / Emma Peel thing"

She asked "Who are John Steed and Emma Peel?"

sigh

I hope her companions filled her in

More to come!

There is a wonderful saying that begins

On Saturday I was a proud member of the RSCDS and the San Jose Class Adjudication Team

Last year at the 2008 Pleasanton Games I bought that white Jacobite/ghillie shirt because that is what the men of our class's demonstration team wear.

I bought it because I wanted to be good enough to be on that team for 2009

And I was!

I good number of our SCD folks wear sensible sun hats and I wore the same.

It may not be what I normally wear, but I was proud to one of this great group.

And I do have to say that the straw sun hat was quite comfortable !

More to come!

mixelito24 and his lovely wife Sally

(We joked about her turning him into a prince, but they are such a great pair I think he already is one in her eyes)

Alan H and blackbeard

walkerk watching the Wicked Tinkers

On Sunday at 2:00 we toasted the memory of Craig Saylors (Retro Red)

He is remembered

More to come
