week 2

Congratulations Mistress Margot du Bois. she finally got recognized and elevated by the laurel Circle. This was the letter I sent to be read.

Unto Their Royal Majesties Havordh and Mary Grace do I send greetings.
Greetings and Salutations from I, Viscountess Danielle de la Roche; ninth Princess of the Principality of Gleann Abhann and Seneschal of your shire of Tor an Riogh.
I write today in support of the Honorable Lady Margot duBois.
I could tell you of her skill and study, but this is self-evident and has been vouched for by the illustrious Laurel’s Circle.
I could tell you of the depths of her friendship and the breadth of her good will, but the length of its telling would last far into the night.
I should tell you of her willingness to serve because she does so in such a gentle and quiet way as to only be seen in the background or along the edges of many successful endeavors.
Instead I will tell you that she has a curious and creative mind, talented and tireless hands, and a generous and gregarious spirit; and is an undeniable gem of your kingdom.
The depth to which my heart has sunk at not being in your court today is nothing compared to the heights to which it will soar upon hearing heralds and historians tell about this day in the life of Margot duBois.
You ask if I speak for her, I tell you she is my peer, she is my better, she is my friend.


She said it made her cry. It made me cry writing it. I wish I could have been there, but I'm just glad it finally happened.

Reading: Grass.

We couldn't go to Winter Wonders cause of work, so I worked on a couple of projects, Steve got Simon pretty much ready to authorize next weekend, and we went over to the Sipsey Wilderness and hiked down to Caney Creek Falls. Took the dog and had a very nice day out. Came back through Tupelo, and I picked up a skein of yarn for my next project. The current one is now at the decreases stage. So the light is visable at the end of the tunnel.

We spent the last 3 nights watching True Blood a retelling of the Sookie Stackhouse books on HBO. Lots of fun. Well done and good music. They added in some things just whole cloth, but they are all working and not too distracting.
