Spring Crown

I had a great time in al Barran. the weather was perfect that day. Days before and days after it snowed like crazy. But for Crown it was a balmy 80 degrees and sunny. I actualy got tan. I could live there. Wish Tim didn't think it looked like Baghdad.

The fighting was exciting I'm sure. I don't really know I was having too much fun meeting up with old friends who I seldom get to see because I never travel that far south. Monica von Zell was there. She really is my favorite person in New Mexico. Aside from being one of those few people who was a friend almost 3 decades ago, she is just wickedly cool. She helped make the donation lunch. As usual it was outstanding. I bought the recipe booklet. You can't go wrong when you soak anything in honey.

I finished up Her Majesties new dress. I must say the buttons were over the top. 2 inches of fabulous gold and pearls. But they looked great on the brocade. Pink really could be her color. She says she got so many complements on it when she wore it at Gulf Wars. I'm very proud.

I thought the Battlemoor meeting would never start. But when it did things went well. I got a lot of very embarrising praise. now I feel like I will have to do something to live up to the hype. Giovanni and Cainnleach made me squirm. But it was very sweet that they think I've been doing something unusual. Wish I knew what that was.

The drive back was heavenly. Tim and Stephen both slept, so I got to spend 6 hours with my self. It was good!

I need to travel south more often.
