It was "Men in Kilts" weekend at the Bonner Springs, KS, Renaissance Faire. The day was cloudy, breezy and cool, so DJ lent Vicki and me each a cape. As we were all in vaguely 16th century garb, the capes worked very well. It was a really good day to go to the Faire.

The food was excellent. Vicki had the veggie wrap for lunch to allow her to have the strawberries and whipped cream. As the fruit was served on top of funnel cake, I became the enabler; I ate most of the funnel cake so she didn't have to overeat. For some reason, I kept calling it "flannel cake," so my sister decided it was red plaid.

  2. My husband and his brother wear kilts various places. One of the local pubs has 'kilt night', the last Saturday of the month. The deal is if you wear a kilt you get a free Guinness. They refused to give a free Guinness to the kilt his glasses wear to keep cool...a cup warmer/cooler, whatever. Unfair I say!
    Does look like a whole bunch of fun.
