What a weekend we had! Sir Knight and I hosted a lovely tea party, complete with a tent, shotguns and wonderful friends. Although the weather was cool the fellowship was warm and we ate, drank, shot and talked to our hearts content.
We have so many photos, I thought I would share them in two posts – lets get started!

I cringe every time I see people posting pictures of themselves because I know its going right into some GOV/MIL database for cataloging and labeling.
