etienettebluetThis is so frustrating... I'd keyed the rest of the week at Lilies and it disappeared. I hate redoing this as it's never as good the second time. Oh well, here goes again another day later.
TUESDAY
This was a big day for HalfTroll as he was Fyrded on the battlefield the same day as it had been arranged for him to become squire... Volkmar's great-grandsquire. When Natalya arrived she had Leofwyna's packet of apricot-walnut power cookies.
WEDNESDAY
Since the parking lots are closed up I borrowed Gyda's van for my trip to town for groceries for the Gladiator Party. I took Owain's share of the cookies to him on my way to the parking lot. I stopped for barbeque at Lowmans and picked up twelve bags of ice for the camp. I found the Nutter-Butter Wafers I love at the Smithville Grocery (the ones Walmart no longer carries back home). Moira sprained her ankle once too often and ended up sidelined for the rest of the war. Neighbors' loud late parties kept me awake late but I was glad they both landed the same night. All the other parties during war were enough further away they didn't give my any trouble.
THURSDAY
This was an exceedingly hot and humid day so I was cranky. Then Grand Court was held on the battlefield so I stayed in camp and assembled my roll-ups for the Gladiator party while I pouted.
FRIDAY
Fireworks!! I love 'em and those at Lilies are the best bar none. I've seen bigger and longer sets but these are the best quality anywhere. HalfTroll was successful in his bid for the 'Big Damn Stick' and won the Kingdom Bardic tonight.
SATURDAY
I decided to preload 3/5ths of my encampment this afternoon just in case it rained again and vehicles wouldn't be allowed off-road; or out of the parking lot for that matter.
HalfTroll had been asked by Libby six weeks ago to be her champion in the Children's Tourney and she collected him and had her favor ready to present to him. I had to chuckle as they headed down the road hand in hand (she is as tall as his wrist knuckle) with her gazing adoringly up at her trophy champion. Her favor by the way was a rather appropriately sized for a HalfTroll pink and purple tassle nearly ten inches long and four inches wide.
Closing Court was in the Pavilion which made me pleased. Some say it's too hot in the Pavillion but I'm thinking it's hot everywhere so keep me out of the sun please! So I made at least one court this war and enjoyed it very much.
SUNDAY
So when I woke up I packed up the tent and broke down the bed before washing up and dressing. I'd kept my van in camp yesterday when I'd discovered others planned doing so. Loading up went relatively quickly and my only potential problem would have been taking down the tent in the wind, which was quite strong and had me worried. Carlos came down the hill at the perfect moment to see how I was doing and with him steadying the tent I was able to release the support and get it grounded without having it blow away. Since it was damp I didn't bother with careful folding or bagging it. I just shoved it into the available space and called it good.
We headed up to the hot showers followed by Lowmans for barbeque... our Sunday after Lilies tradition. All that was missing was Leofwyna but I arranged for takeout to surprise her with. Since Isabeau's cruise control was out and they know I have no cellphone (in case of engine trouble) they followed me back to Lincoln using my cruise control to manage the pace. I waved them on at 84th Street and headed north to home.
Throughout the war I visited with lots of lovely Calontiri and can't think where to place 'em in this epistle. In fact I can't be sure I remember all the right things to the right days. The only thing I can think of that would have made Lilies better would be Leofwyna's presence!!

****************
I can't remember what day it was I landed flat on my back in the MagMor tent. The ground sloped a wee bit and when I felt my chair shift and my feet leave the ground there was no chance to prevent it so I relaxed, held up my embroidery with one hand and just before landing noted a tent pole coming down with me, reached up and snagged it with the other hand so it wouldn't fall on me. Yes, time does shift to slow motion; I had time to think about these things and react to them. I wasn't so much as bruised and things were soon set to right and conversations picked up again. Throughout the war I visited with lots of lovely Calontiri and can't think where to place 'em in this epistle. In fact I can't be sure I remember all the right things to the right days. The only thing I can think of that would have made Lilies better would be Leofwyna's presence!!
