The Simple Scents of Life

Our Reformation Day Faire was a wonderful success. We were very grateful the Lord blessed us with fabulous weather - no rain and mostly sunshine! We had visiting families from the area as well as from out of town. The food was delicious (and no, I didn't get photos of food this time...so, no drooling... ;-)) and the fellowship sweet. During our feasting, Elder Price(a.k.a Raphael) and his daughter, Anna, performed the Reformation Polka, which included the choreography from Mary Poppins. :) After some of the play practices that we've had in the past, our "Lady Jane" play turned out better than we were all expecting. :) My dad's Luther presentation was outstanding (and no, I'm not biased at all...;-)), John C. played the town constable so wonderfully, that I don't think anybody else will be able to replace him...so, don't even think about moving out of state, y'all. ;-) Although Tetzel was only able to stick around for the early part of the day(before the constable drove him out of town, that is) he did a fabulous job.

For those of you who were not able to make it, we hope you will keep next year in mind! Here are a few of the 200 photos that I took:

'Twould appear that I am the royal hair dresser...Melinda, don't you look so cute in rollers!! ;-)

While the Constable in Whittenburg (right) takes his job seriously...

...others take great pleasure in it. :)

Three fair maidens.

No, Lady Victoria is not using a CD to spin wool...it's just a figment of your imagination...

Even the talented Raphael graced us with his presence.

His subject, Mona Gabrielle sits ever so patiently. ;-)

A sneak peak...

Prince John plays a game of checkers with his side-kick......Sir Guy of Gisbourne. Who knows what these two had up their sleeves.

Robin Hood, keen as ever, is on the watch.

Queen Mary

Our Family

The Lady Rebecca tries her hand a game of checkers too.

*gasp* Is that King Richard????

Katherine Von Bora wrapped up due to the nippy weather.

L-R: Will Scarlet, Prince John, Sir Guy of Gisbourne (yeah, I think the rest of the gang captured those two villains... ;-)), Little John, Robin Hood and Ivanhoe...looks like he joined the Merry Men too. :)

Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day

Sir Guy of Gisbourne, planning his escape, I'm sure... ;-)

If he could only get past Eleanor of Aquitaine...

"Just before the battle, Mother, I was thinking most you...

... While upon the fields we're watching, with the enemy in view..."

I'm just glad that I was on the outskirts of the battle. :)

I'm not really sure what she was doing, but she looked cute doing it. :)

Anne of Cleaves, Lady Jane Grey and Bloody Mary...hmmmm....I wonder what Mary is plotting... ;-)

Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I...

Yeah, so I was cold...what's new? ;-)
