Well, my freshman year is done. I had a busy last few weeks, finshing projects, studying, and trying to spend time with friends before being away from them for a while. I've had mixed feelings about the year ending. I've made a lot of good friends this year, but there's a good summer here now. I've got several things coming up soon. I've already started helping Suellen and Joey with the photography business. Also, there will be camps, bible schools, a mission trip, concerts, and an Old-Time festival, among others. The photo is of me with some friends, Brooke and Maggie, after we moved Brooke out last week.

Musgrove Mill
From April 23-24, I camped out at Musgrove Mill State Park. We had a revolutionary war reenactment and encampment displaying typical activities, such as spinning, cooking, blacksmithing, woodworking, stone carving, etc... I spent time with several close friends, and had some good campfire cooked food. There was much music played also. I played the gourd banjo David made, and Mark Simpson played his 400 year-old fiddle. Dad hammered out an assortment of ironworks on his brand new Colonial style portable forge that he made. After our visit to Williamsburg this year, he started making clothes and blacksmithing equipment nonstop until this event. Our outfits were made by many people, including Dad, Mom, Nanny, and Renee. All of them spent a lot of time sewing up some quality clothing (by hand!) On Sunday, we all got a big surprise when Brooke showed up! She has been teaching English in Japan for 9 months or so (too long!) We had a great visit and got to play some good Old-Time music.
