We're off to see the wenches

OK, so that doesn’t work so well unless you are reading my mind and singing it along to the tune of Wizard of Oz. “The Wonderful Wenches of Oz.”

Point being that hubby and I are leaving later on today (still have to get that sleep in) for Minneapolis where we plan to hang out with my sister, nephew and brother in law.

But that has nothing to do with the wonderful wenches. The Wenches come in at the Renaissance festival, where we plan to spend part of our time. I lived in Minneapolis for three years and never made it there, now we’re going. Chad’s going for the jousting, I just want to see some wenches. The fun thing about wenches is that if you are ahem, smaller on top than you wish you were, the wenches have those lovely squeezey blouses that make everything … billow over the top. Nuff said.

But of course, the wenches are just a side trip. The main point is to spend time with the family. Katy, the 17-year-old sister whose taking her TKD (don’t know how to actually spell that martial art, but TKD is what all the cool kids call it when bloging) test Monday night is coming too. It will be good to see Jose and Penny’s new home (they just bought it late this summer, no more renting!) and spoil Oliver for a while. Of course, Tio Chad will get most of the boy’s attention, he’s fascinated with Tio Chad. That’s OK, I don’t mind. It’s very cute.

Well, that’s all for a while folks. We’re taking a week and a half and are spending the first six days with family, first mine, then his. So we’ll be gone for a while. But perhaps I can get a little bloging in while at the in-laws… we’ll see.
