Back to the Shire of Mount Hope

I'm so glad that it's Renaissance Faire time again! It's been a rough few months but all that fades away once I'm inside the gates, surrounded by friends, food, and music.

Why Star Wars Episode Five is my Favorite

Image
                      The Empire Strikes back is not only my favorite Star Wars film but one of my all time favorite movies.   There’s so much to love about it, meeting Yoda, seeing Luke’s development as a Jedi, Leia and Han’s relationship, and   of course, Lando Calrissian, because what woman doesn’t admire a cape wearing man?             I remember as a kid enjoying seeing how the friendships between them all have developed from a New Hope. Even though Han and Leia get pretty fed up with C3P0 they are still concerned when he goes missing on Cloud City and even though Chewbacca has just been tortured, he still goes about repairing him, because as insufferable as the droid can be, he’s still a friend. Yes, he’s a droid whose services are valued, but I think it goes deeper than that in much the same way Luke fee...

Haunted Ice Cream Parlor (A Cozy Sleep Story)

Hmmm, ice cream......   You close your eyes only to open, finding yourself on a humid city street you know well, but this version feels different somehow .

beANDenjoy: A Book Subscription Box

Image
            I’ve been intrigued by subscription boxes for some time now. For those who haven’t heard of them, it’s basically a box you get for one month or a series of months.  There’s a variety of boxes you can get delivered to your house, ingredients for meals, craft kits, snacks, geek themed items, just to name a few.             I recently discovered that Etsy carries a selection of subscription boxes. I decided to try a book themed box. After searching through Etsy I found a one month subscription box from beANDenjoy .  One box was only $20, a great deal cheaper than other Etsy shops. I chose just one month. Not only due to cost but just to see what one was like before committing to several months.            I was pleasantly surprised when my package arrived only two days after it shipped from...
