Iron Man

I also got to finally meet the mystery daughter of the Cottonwood clan. What an awesome young lady she is.

She is way mature for her age, is responsible to the max, and even has her plans for college and beyond all worked out. She works a job, gets good grades, yet still knows how to have some fun.

I hope to see you at another rendezvous sometime again. I’m glad I met you. Maybe you can be there for the paddle dance next time.

Last weekend at the Albert Lea Rendezvous a.k.a. Big Island, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the awesome Mum of six. What a great mom, and a cool person.

I’m glad that you were able to meet many other reenactors as well.

She got to watch us use up over thirty rounds of powder in only about seven minutes between the three gun crews participating in battery fire.

I’m glad to have met her in person finally and hung out under the tent fly with her, sharing old stories, and creating new ones.

I finally met the infamous Iron Man at the Alber Lea Rondy!!! (what a craaazy event!!) I can really now see why my kids just love ya to death!! (He is an even bigger kid than Cottonwood!!

I am looking forward to many more smaller events and also watching you shoot!!!! that will be a BLAST!!! he he he he

you are awesome!! thank you so very much for being that special someone for our wee one…we are much honored!

She’s smart, and fun, and she fights for justice. Ya gotta like that. Besides, she’s perty too. That’s one more plus for her.

Angniks, grew up playing with parts of dead things, like old deer skulls, and stretched hides, and marmot carcasses. She would slightly wash her hands and then go wear some of these things as proper adornment to a paddle dance. She would rarely wait for it to be her turn with the paddle, but would abduct people out of the line before they were ready (she didn’t tell me this part, but I have an in with Madaam Poodoo, and she told me, besides, that’s just the way Angie is, and that’s the best way to behave in a paddle dance).

She don’t sowwnd at awwwl like she ferm Gowwwgia. She sounds more like someone that works at a high octane coffee shop and samples the product a lot.

In her spare time she likes hobbies like chasing her kids around the house to keep them out of mischief that she would rather get into herself, keeping her husband in line, creating children, being a hottie, eating pancakes, hanging out with wookies, and closing automatic doors onto herself.

Because she is an awesome woman, hard working (though she’ll say she isn’t), has an eye for the arts, is smart, and a smart-ass, (the funny kind). Besides that, she can speak Minnesotan (a very classy skill) (and she can put up with reading my posts and such when they’re full of really long, run-on sentences and sometimes pointess use of parentheses).

The hat – the smile – the smithy.
Cool guy. ‘specially the hat.

He’s been a good online friend. He also stands for justice, slightly-offness, and the marmtry way!

Cottonwoodscamp is called that because of all the curly blonde haired kids he brings with. I see he wants to meet Ben Franklin, but he already did. Ben was camped in the row of tents just behind him last year at White Oak. He can mark that one as done.

He is an awesome guy, and a good friend. His kids are pretty well behaved too. That’s a good reflection on him. In his picture above, this was just after his youngest had gotten into playing in an old ash pile. Just previous to that we were talking about the Ottawa style of war paint, just around the eyes, and here comes his youngest to demonstrate it to us. We laughed our butts off.

In his other life he works at installing auto glass.
