All this talk of faire is getting me excited for the new season.  That of which I shall begin by attending the Greater StL faire.  Still, it can't get here quite quick enough!

In the meantime, I have begun talks with a friend about traveling abroad sometime early next year.  We are talking of going to England, Ireland, Scotland and France.  Maybe stop for a bit in various locations.  The possibilities are open!  And, with it being a good year before we go, we have plenty of time to get things planned out properly.

I can't tell you how exciting it is to have someone I know rather well to want to travel abroad with me.  I do love my family so, but traveling with a friend I do believe will be much more enjoyable.  In the meantime, another friend has turned me on to getting my passport.  Tis easier than I thought.  I also need to revisit Barnes & Noble to start picking up some books to begin my research!

May also have to put a jump on the self-paced French course I was thinking about.  Definitely don't want to go over there not knowing anything and just expect them to understand me.  That problem happens all too often here on our own turf.
