Pirate play, inspired by reading Blackthorn Winter, has been a favorite pastime this week, and the children eagerly roped visiting grandparents into their play.
Here's the Dread Pirate Gramps and his first mate Keegan after a successful haul. (Grandma was a good sport and did a lot of ship raiding as well. )

Of course, the original Dread Pirate Gramps retired and is now living quite comfortably in Patagonia.
