We Have Great Friends…
It is 2 AM and the pots and pans are finally washed, the dishes put away, the massive amounts of extra bread stocked in the deep freeze and all the guests tucked away for the night. What a wonderful evening of feasting, music, friendship, memories and tall stories. In a few hours, all these wonderful people that love each other like a family will get up, put on armor, and go outside to pound on each other with swords. This is actually another thing that friends are for.

You’re in armor this morning?! If I’d known, I would’ve come back over it!

Hmmm…thought we mentioned it several times…my apologies. Tis why we were trying so hard to get Eric to stay over. Of course you are always welcome to jump in the car. We won’t even GET in armor for another half hour or so at this point. Just call if you would like to come down. As a general rule, anytime we have an event that gets the squires down on a Saturday, we will likely be in armor on Sunday.
Thanks again for the bread…

It was a wonderful event. The meal was great, but the people are even better. We have so much missed the camaraderie of old friends (umm, friends we have known a long time. Not to suggest that any of us are in any way OLD.) and are looking forward to many recurring opportunities to meet like that some more.
I am going to have to schedule flights better.

Will have to start making it to these events. Can’t make next week’s (dad’s B-day) email me the next few times so that I may bring Rene down. Sorry we couldn’t make it to the 12th Night household feast. Didn’t want to make you all miserably sick.

So… when’s the next one? I’m so bummed, I actually got those stupid velvet loops out of my dress and put some regular metal rings in, repleated the skirt and everything and had switched my work schedule all so I could stay home with the flu and miss out on all the fun. I’m sure I made the doctor’s day by being the hospital’s first confirmed case but that’s really not what I had in mind. I guess I could have come anyway and brought the plague; that’s historically accurate, right?
Hope everyone had a great time.

We would have had a better time if you had been there…
