My Pennsic

This will be a bit disjointed - just like my thoughts. But then, you're used to that, right?
( Staff week )

( the real War )

I did make it to Khan's Court, where I was given custody of Stormbrew, the twin of the Pennsic War Drinking Horn, for the next year. Those of you in Atlantia will see it, as I've been charged with taking it to events and gathering stories for it until next Pennsic. It was gifted to the Great Dark Horde many years ago... I need to get THAT story so I can start filling out the new history-book that Mistress Rowena made for it. (You should see that book. I thought she'd bought it from Barnes & Nobles, but no - she made it in the bookbinding class that was offered onsite. Wow. Pictures will probably follow.)

Packout was made easier by Ivarr and Zackory coming to help. We packed out wet, though, and had to set all the tents up again here at home. Shawn's wall tent, which Zack was using down at Pandora's Box camp, was filthy... rain,soggy ground, and trees are not-so-good for poor little canvas tents. It needed scrubbing.

Me, I'm washing everything made of cloth... our house smells of super-heated damp fabric going to mildew, thanks to the final weekend.

Group Business meeting

"The young people are in charge now."

and

"We need young Autocrats for these events so they'll be fun."

Well, good. That's that. I have a hefty handful of projects I've not been able to do because of duty-to-barony. Guess I can rest easy and get to work on those now that I, and other 'old people', are no longer needed.

Cool! I wonder what I should start with first? I need to go look in my craft room.... or start with the library, maybe? I've got that (very handily delivered during Pennsic) gift of "Butler's Lives of Saints, 1949". Pre-Vatican II. That is going to be kicking reading! And there's the three quilts I haven't finished, and Bossman's tunic that needs embroidery, and the rest of the medieval feast days to research.

Oh, I guess I'd better check and see if I should be turning in the Baron and Baroness' travel chairs to one of The Young People or if I'm supposed to finish them myself - old, slow, un-fun person that I am...
