For Six Bucks
Getting a $3,000.00 dress for the Mrs., for $6.00. Yep, that's right only $6.00. How you ask?
By having friends who make clothing and being cheap and finding material for a dollar a yard ... and no cheap stuff either, normally it was $125.00 a yard. With the labor and jewels sewn into it it would be a multiple thousand dollar dress.
O.K., so it is a dress for the RenFaire and as such it won't be worn out to the Governor's Fall Ball but it is an Aresaide so it will be worn to the Highland games after the Faire.
I just love the fact that it will make a couple of 'ladies' (and I use the term loosely), extremely jealous - they need to be taken down quite a few pegs anyway.
With her new dress the Mrs., and I with my new Doublet and boots will make a splash - as long as the breeze doesn't pick up and lift my kilt before I can catch it ... that would make an even bigger splash!

Haywood County Claims Eleven More?
Eight Boy Scouts and three of their leaders are missing after a weekend camping trip into the mountains of Haywood county, NC.
Could Haywood county have claimed eleven more in a series of - a centuries long series - disappearances in the deep forests and steep ravines of that wilderness mountain region?
The area is very popular with campers, hikers and the like, and is a wonderful place to go and see the natural world at its most natural - as the saying goes 'there are places there that no white man has ever seen' ... even to this day in Haywood county.
Most people go and have a wonderful time there, even in the 'wilder' areas, but very few people today have the skills to survive completely in the wilds and if they get lost deep in the glens and glades or misstep and fall into a deep gorge in the area, it all but impossible to be found ... except by foot as the rescuers literally 'luck up and stumble up on to you' otherwise they join the list of the permanently disappeared.
Let's hope the rescuers are lucky and find these eleven missing people. Preferably alive.
