Suzanne over at Just Another Hang Up is giving away this most wonderful purse... and I'm only telling you this so you know where I got it when I win!
Since moving to Melbourne, I have felt "out of touch" with family and friends. This is a (not quite) daily letter to you all (especially since I can't remember to whom I told what). I hope I don't bore you too much, and I'd love to hear how your day was!

but did we listen? Of course not. Try explaining this to your child...
And that really wasn't the worst of it. Through most of it I was so dumbstruck I actually forgot to take pictures! And it wasn't so much the apparatus
as it was the descriptions on the wall of what they used it for.
Especially this guy
"I am Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod ~ There can be only one!"
No surprise there and I really think I'd like to try to make something like this
It doesn't look too complicated and would look really nice over a black shirt and pants, doncha think?


And all seats surround an arena
Where they have "the show." It's actually quite good.. the story is a bit cheezy but the horses are the real show. They have a jousting tournament along with other horse "games" and of course it all ends in a battle. 
A bit sweaty but that only added to the appeal!


Mary Catherine came for a short visit. 
It has a neat little pocket in the front and the whole top folds over and closes with velco to keep it's contents secure.
Julianne rocks... yes, she can be a pain in the butt sometimes (well a lot of the time really) but when it really counts ~ you can always count on her. She handled herself really well at her brothers birthday bash. It was her and four 12 y/o boys who can be gross and inappropriate even at the best of times. In any case, she was sitting out at the patio where I served them all breakfast. Most everyone had finished eating and they were being particularly disgusting and this is what we hear..."This is where I get up and pretend to do something *very* important."
