Heather: Defined

O n the 4th of July weekend, my friends and I, took part in a Civil War Reenactment. This is my second year doing it, but my first "Official" year because last year I was just a guest. My friend Charlyn and I camped in the modern camp, but during the day, our friends, the Plett's, were our family (which you see above). They are the friends who put on the English Country Dancing Balls that I attend. Here are just a few of the pictures I took of our weekend together. Enjoy! Laura, our hair stylist for the weekend Charlyn took this when I was sitting down, and it turned out quite nice! Brian trying to get the fire started. No fire, no food!

This last Sunday, all of us gathered together to say "goodbye" to our friend, Charlyn. Yet, we will see her again a few times before she leaves, this fun day was for her. We were supposed to take a tour of Deepwood Estate, but found there was a wedding going on. It was disappointing because I had told them we were coming that day. So we just took walk through the garden/hiking trail. :P During that time, my batteries decided not to work in my camera. Thank goodness for all the pictures everyone else took. We took a few pictures in a very pretty area, and were about to dance ECD until someone found out we weren't supposed to be there because the wedding rented "all" of the Deepwood Estate. So we headed down the road to the Bush House and Gardens. How beautiful the site, the gardens and the house! Most of us girls dressed up in our regency gowns, which turned into a photshoot! At one point I felt as if we were in a Jane Austen movie.....seeing all the girls walki...
