Civil War at Allaire State Park

Hooray, I am finally able to get on Blogger again! Let's chalk it up to another modern mishap. Today will be a short post as I have a chance to go to sleep early tonight and do not want to miss it! I have been busy all day setting up an exhibit at Allaire Village for the Civil War Encampment weekend tomorrow and Sunday. You should check it out.

Bedtime Bliss

Today, I bought new sheets. I also went to a seminar at Rutgers University on Email Marketing and networked, so if I have any new readers...hi! Welcome, I enjoyed the seminar and talking with you today. I'm in for the social media seminar they say they will host in a few weeks, are you? The seminar was very nice, today...but email marketing isn't a step that I am quite ready to take yet. Since it was a free seminar and the suggested content of the emails was of value, I felt it was well worth my time. But back to those sheets...

Ghosts vs Zombies

I have been coerced into watching Zombieland. I do not like zombie movies. I do not like movies that take place in the future. So, I choose ghosts every time. Maybe its a future vs past thing or something like that. I suppose it could be something like, hey, if I met a ghost, I would probably try to talk to it. Could there be anything closer to history than talking to a ghost? Zombies not so much. Possibly because zombies never seem to talk.

A Celebration of Mamas (In honor of Mother's Day)

It is pretty popular in the history community to have "what if" scenarios in history. What if Stonewall Jackson lived? What if JFK hadn't been assassinated? What if Columbus had reached India?

A Letter to Wawa Employees/Customers

Dear Employees/Customers of Wawa,

Sometimes, I have to come to work in my period clothes. I am well aware that they look funny to you, but you need to stop staring. If I were wearing a McDonald's uniform or a police officers uniform, you would not do a double take. If you are over the age of 12 and staring with your mouth hanging open, I am forced to believe you have no manners. These clothes are really not that crazy.

My Hair Still Smells Like Bacon...

And I am still very, very tired. It has been three days since we broke camp and i am just starting to recover. I promised some fun pictures and intend to blog more frequently, so here is my:

Neshaminy Reenactment 2011 Photo Blog: Camp Cooking 

Where to begin?!?!?!?

Today’s title has in part to do with talking about this weekend, but moreso the explosion that has occurred in my bedroom.

Okay, so this weekend I have, of course, to fill you in on the absolutely AMAZING time Teddy, Faith, and I had at Neshaminy. Faith and I have pictures galore, including semi-step by step cooking photos and stunning, if we do say so ourselves, self portraits. Prepare yourself for dresses, new bonnets, chopped onions, horses, and battles. Faith will hopefully guest blog as a first time reenactress later this week or early next week.
