Today we celebrated Deven's (3rd grandchild) first birthday.  Happy Birthday Deven. He was born on January 29, 2016.  How cool is it to watch your grandchildren grow up.

Anticipation

This stuff is really good!

After our Birthday celebration, Bruce and I attended
one of the final performances of Medieval Madness.
This is a dinner comedy that is held at the
John Strongbow's Tavern in  Alexandria, VA.  This is a dinner that serves food that would have been served in Medieval times.  It is a family style setup.  It is also an interactive show.  The Duke and Duchess of Salem preside over the dinner while performing a routine that keeps us laughing.  In the past, there have even been real knights in full armor doing
full contact sword battles. Service is complete with wenches.
Sadly the Duke has decided to give up these performances. He hasn't had a day off in six years. Most of tonight's crowd are repeat customers as we are. We had a great time and sorry to see it end. With the ending of the show John Strongbow's is also closing.

 Added in  April:

We were saddened to hear that the Duke of Salem (Thomas Booth) has a very serious case of bone cancer.  Tom was a Green Beret. He has given many people many enjoyable evenings. Prayers and best wishes to him and a profound recovery.
