Pirate Parties and other Eastman-type things ...

To celebrate Seth's birthday in grand style, and also just to liven things up around here, we decided to throw a Mystery Dinner Party.  Oh and the theme was 16th century Pirate.  So the young folks who are normally together for Sunday School and Thursday night Bible Study, and a myriad of other tame small town stuff came together as pirates and colonial elites to solve a murder.  We all had a blast.  A few pics below.

Back L-R:  Mad Rose (Rachael), Commodore Clearning (Jordan), Gurgling Uma Scarr (Kat), Sealegs Sam (Ryne), Buccaneer Bradshaw (John), Sharktooth Brandy (Diedra), Cutthroat McPhearson (Luke), Merciless Morgan (Michael), Thumbless Jacky (Leah), Cap'n Redbeard (Seth), One Eyed Wanda (Jenna), Dirty Wiggins (Rachel).
Front L-R:  Antonia Napier (Kalee), Governor Napier (Andrew), Breathless Betty Napier (Kristen). 

Post thought:  while completing paperwork at The Costume Shop for rentals (in nearby city - Warner Robins), the clerk automatically knew by heart the Eastman zip code.  Odd, since Eastman is a very small rural town.  When I asked how she knew?  She replied with a sparkle in her eye ... "Oh, we do A LOT of business in Eastman ..."  Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
