Wow Time has Flownnnn!

Since the last post there has been several events. In Sept of 09 was another cruise. This cruise was to Alaska. What a beautiful country!
Getting dressesd for a presentation -- "Pack yer bags mother! We're off to the Gold Fields"

My Daughter and I in England, Scotland and one day in Paris!

After the transatlantic trip I stay an extra two weeks in England. My daughter Maridy flew in to meet me and we had a wonderful trip seeing the sights of England and Scotland.

I think one of my most memorable experiences was the few days we spent in Derbyshire. Maridy found an awesome B&B, Sheriff's Lodge. The innkeepers, Alan and Kate, were people after my own heart. We had many of the same interest. Alan arranged for us to dress in 1500's ensembles and visit Haddon Hall. The home of the Duke of Rutland. I actually play the part of the Dowager Countess of Rutland, Bridget Manners at various Renaissance fairs. Alan and Kate, also encouraged us to dress Vicorian and attend a four mill where they were celebrating Victiorian Days. I even dressed Kate's mom who is my size in the same ensemble I wore to the mill and she went back to the mill and enjoyed herself as a Victorian lady.

Below are some of the pictures from the Derbyshire area.

This guy and his "monkey" were lots of fun.

My life has certainly moved at a fast past in the past 4 month! The past 4 months has included:

1. a wonderful two week cruise
2. two weeks in England
3. a mom with a broken hip and rehab

The activities that took the most time was taking care of my mom and moving. I have WAY too much stuff! But I did thin it out some.

Kerosense Cowboys

What a fast pasted 5 days this has been. The casting agency that I work with, Integrity Casting, was called to provide extras and Production Assistants for a production company that blew into Northern NV. Name of the movie that is being produced is Kerosene Cowboys, with Mario Van Peebles and Bill Pullman. I was on location for three days either as a PA/wrangler or an extra. Long hours, but entertaining! Below is a few shots of talent that we had to find for one scene.
