[Elfsea] Elfsea Digest, Vol 50, Issue 2

[SCA]

So you are aware, my Lord Husband did indeed get pictures of the  
wonderful youth. We are simply still going through the 2600+ he took  
over the weekend. :)
He had a new toy and thus took more than needed ;)

Some of the youth pics are awesome. When we have them up, I'll post :)
