I hope you are all doing well today and are ready for a bit of fun. Take a moment to relax and ponder the following.
Today's Question(s): Last weekend hubby and I went to Maple Sugar Time, an annual reenactment "festival" of all things made from on-site maple trees, like early area inhabitants might have done. When finished, we bought a jar of "maple cream," suitable for spreading on toast, pancakes, waffles, etc. Yum!
Have you ever gone to any olden days type festival or exhibit? And did you purchase any of the related merchandise, if any was available? If so, what did you think of it once you got it home?
Bonus Question(s): I like to watch birds, my sister loves to see helicopters. What is something that excites you enough to move from a relaxed position to get up to see it?
Just for Fun: Which of the following would you do, or have you done: Polar Plunge (jumping into a cold lake)? ride a zip line? overnight in a haunted house? skydive? cliff dive?

No, I've never been to any kind of re-enactment event or olden days-type festival. I would, however, be interested in seeing Medieval Times, which isn't far from here: Medieval Times Dinner & Live Shows in Buena Park, Orlando, Chicago, Dallas & More | Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament
Bonus Question(s): I like to watch birds, my sister loves to see helicopters. What is something that excites you enough to move from a relaxed position to get up to see it? Restored vintage cars driving down the street. I actually was driving behind a whole line of them one Sunday morning. They were headed to a car show being held at a local park.

I haven't tried any of these, nor am I inclined to at this stage of my life.

Yes, I have been to the Renaissance Faire and the Dickens Christmas Faire. Other than food, the only merchandise I bought was a wooden toy at the Renaissance Faire. It was fun to play with, but I never quite mastered it.

I get excited when it rains because we've had so little of it in the last few years. I will also get up to watch a flock of songbirds, a beautiful sunset over the ocean, the moon, a meteor shower or an interesting cloud formation.

Many years ago I went to the opening of an historic house that had been taken over by a certain entrepreneur. He managed to turn what had been a significant historic place into a second rate Disney attraction. Not my cup of tea. However I will happily visit places that have been shown the respect they deserve. Also there's some big Shakespeare festivals coming up this year, marking the 400th anniversary of his death.
