Sooooooo, Celtic Festival was this past weekend (November 2 & 3), but it was RAINING like the floods were coming ("it come a gully washer", as one of my friends says), so we got all dressed up for NOTHING. Not to lose the moment entirely, we took photos and went to a local pub for yummy fish and chips and lots of drinking. Because I'm just flat getting lazy in my old age, I'm putting them all on one page. SORRY MODEM PEOPLE! (Really, I'm about to stop apologizing for this - it's not my fault you're still on dial-up.)
Me and Rita and J9, at my house the night before Celtic Fest. The girls came over to make bead strands for their hair. Last year, Sondra, J9 and I paid to have them put in our hair, but this year we did it ourselves, and they came out so well! They're easy to do, so maybe I will do a thing that gives instructions on how to do it so you can try.
J9, me and Sondra, the day of the festival. We'd already decided not to go out, but wanted photos anyway! Aren't Sondra and J9 SO CUTE in their little plaid skirts?! And before you say anything, I will tell you that Sondra's "skirt" is actually "skorts", so she wasn't totally flashing everyone all day. :) Not that she's OPPOSED to flashing, mind you, I'm just letting you know what the real scoop is for this day. :)
Me, Sondra and J9, showing off our beads. J9's has feathers on the end! I have four, all along the hairline. And though we didn't know it at the time, Sondra's was about to fall off. :(
Lane and Sondra, cutting up at the bar. I love this photo!
Me and Sondra and J9, making faces and generally being a little tipsy and full of fish and chips. mmmmmmmmmm fish and chips mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Lane and me - one of the rare times we let someone else have the camera!
J9 and Kearson posing at the bar. I'm not sure, but I THINK that's a smile on Kearson's face!!! ;)
This was our dessert. Deep-fried Snickers bar. Can you EVEN BELIEVE THAT?!?! I felt sick after I ate it, but it was WORTH THE PAIN!!!
Sondra's, um, necklace. :) Plus Sondra with her NEW beads that we put in when we got back to her house after the bar. Beads for everyone!!
