In which Kiwi returns.

Well, aren't I just a terrible blogger?  It's been quite some time, hasn't it?

But now, I have a big stock pot of water, white beans, garlic, and sage simmering on the stove for a few hours.  The sun is out.  No work today.  I am totally content to do a little blogging!

The last time I wrote, I was preparing to leave for Catholic Kids' Camp, which, by the way, was wonderful!

The kids had fun, the 'adults' had fun; it was fun all 'round, really.  We had a medieval theme, which was really entertaining!  At the end of each camp, we had a big tournament with archery, pool-noodle jousting, swordplay, et cetera.  And then, we paraded a boar's head and had a huge feast at which we were not allowed to use any utensils.  As you can imagine, good times ensued.

Above is a photo I snapped of some of the counselors performing our skit, which I wrote [she said humbly], entitled "The Magnificent Adventures of Chester the Jester."  It was a five-part skit, actually, and each part introduced the theme for that part of the camp.  In the end, Chester even fought a dragon.  I think this was post-dragon battle, as he has his armor on.

Summing it up would be difficult, but it was absolutely wonderful!  I can't wait for camp next year.

From now on, it's my goal not to forget this poor little blog, and I hope to write at least once a week.  So, watch for that!  :)
