Reflection and Anticipation

puppetmakerWe are back in our home. I was so glad to sleep on our bed last night. Peter and Ariel went to the Ducks game last night. We watched "Masters of Science Fiction." I missed Harlan's cameo but it was pointed out to me later.
Last week was a good week. It gave me a pause before DragonCon and the School year starts and we go back to our fall routine. I enjoyed my time listening to the sound of nature and looking out onto the marsh and the ocean. It was summer camp with all the good things attached. I do feel recharged and ready to tackle the next thing that needs to be done.
Today I could have gone to Foxwoods for the day. But due to a long sit my back is not in the best of conditions, I didn't feel like sitting for about 5 hours total. So instead I am going to take care of some things that need to be taken care of.
I am starting to get ready for DragonCon. I am packing up the stuff I need for my panel on Puppetry. But for those who want to know what I am doing panel-wise I have my schedule. (Which I am putting behind the cut to save those of you who really don't care)

The Power of the Old Stories- Folklore and Fairytales in YA
