Wonderful things to do

I started working as an historical interpreter about the time I started writing, so here is a list of the ten most exciting and satisfying things I have done.

1) plowed a fielded with a team of horses
2) ground cornmeal with a water powered mill
3) driven a team of oxen
4) written a movie script for the site were I worked
5) shepherded a flock of heritage sheep
6) learned to spin and weave (I already knew how to knit)
7) fired a flintlock (the owner wouldn’t let me load it)
8) cooked in a wood fired oven
9) hand stitched an 18th century farm wife outfit
10) used all of it as background for my writing
