A Busy Weekend last weekend...

Wow it feels like my wheels are finally slowing down after the weekend! Saturday we went to the NASCAR race at Chicagoland Speedway. (it's only a little over an hour away from home). This was the first time they raced at night as the speedway just installed lights this past spring.

We didn't get home till midnight -- and then Sunday off we went to the Bristol Renaissance Faire! We HAD to go, you see we had a dragon to pick up! At the end of the last season, we commissioned Tracy Maisel to sculpt one of her wonderful dragons climbing up a lamp post. It is AMAZING!! I don't have photos of it yet as I didn't bring the camera with us. It is currently in our living room - it will be much better lighting if I wait to take the photos outside. We love supporting other artists! Here's a photo of one I took a photo of last year .......ours is slightly different - the wings are posed differently. She's an amazing artist!!!





I thought I'd be right back to bears yesterday, but after such a busy weekend I ended up spending most of my time catching up with friends and blogging. I found I had fallen very far behind. I did manage to get some work done though!
