Really Late Night

Happy things from today:

  • The apron that Keziah started the other day, I finished today.  It rained all morning which made it easy to stay sitting in camp and stitching.  Keziah did a wonderful job with the gathers on the waist.  I stitched the apron ties and did all the hems.  In the past, hand stitching hasn't been my favorite thing.  This war I have kind of enjoyed it.  I think that is because I am stitching with other people around to talk with and bounce ideas off of.


  • There are two small children that will be in camp off and on during the day.   They are adorable and interacted with me today.  I'm a person who prefers to let the child come to me rather than me to a child.  Sure, when they are babies, I may ask to hold them, but when they are a little older, I prefer that the child has the say, when possible, as to who they interact with.  Anyhow, I enjoyed playing a little with the little kids.
  • There was a short court in which a friend received a writ to become a member of the Order of the Pelican.  It is well deserved and I look forward to being able to be there, in a few weeks, when she accepts this honor.



  • Opening Ceremonies happened in the large battlefield by the castle.  I had some people bring me up a chair so I wasn't too far from the Royals and could hear things.  There is a lot of tradition that the SCA has built into this part of the game and it can be fun to watch.

  • After dinner I went out walking with some friends from camp.  I was out way too late, but I had a very good time.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Final Post for 2024

--Here are some happy things from this last day of the year: It was a working day for me.  It was busy and I left early.  I had three and a half hours of PTO and I decided to use them.  There was internal guilt, but everyone I told that I had PTO to use, agreed that I needed to use my time. Since I was home a little early, I went to DIY Craft & Thrift and helped finish up the store reset.  The store looks great and somehow seems to be more spacious.   After a nap, I went to the party Keziah and Zed were having.  The theme has to do with toasting in the New Year with jam.  Jam-bor-brie is what they called it this year.  I got to spend time with friends visiting and playing games.  I learned two new games; The Isle of Cats and Dixit.  We also played Carcassonne.   It was a lot of fun.  I need to play games more often. Spin the Lego wheel to choose your jam! My board toward the beginning of playing The Isle of Cats. The y...

Sore Thursday

Here are some happy Thursday things: In an attempt to make a long story short, last week I fell and things didn't seem too sore.  Then I went hiking and backpacking, again, not too bad.  Follow this with work where I needed to get up and down from the floor and now I am having enough aches and pains that I've been taking ibuprofen.  Why is this part of my happy list?  The ibuprofen worked.  It wasn't perfect, but while on it, there was a lot of improvement.  So much so that around 5.5 hours after taking it, I could tell the pills had worn off.  Okay, maybe the story wasn't short.  🙂 I remembered to mend the seam on the gown I'm planning to wear Saturday.   It needs a little more done, but not today. Before After The Inktober prompt was boots.  I am no artist. Pencil Pen Sunset ☮ Currently listening to: The Silmarillion , by J. R. R. Tolkien.  Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Wow, Long and PICTURES

What a wonderful day!  Here are some happy highlights and a bunch of pictures. My friend Stephanie (I got her permission to use her name) and I started out later than planned but Magalloway Mountain wasn't too long of a drive from where we camped.  After driving over miles of dirt roads we ended up at the trailhead.  We chose to go up the Bobcat Trail and down the Coot Trail.  The Bobcat Trail is a narrow trail that doubled as a small brook in places. 😉  When we got to the top of the mountain there was a trail to an overlook and we went there first.  The overlook was over a cliff, but it was beautiful and we could see so far.  The tower view was also spectacular and gave us a 360 degree view.  I don't know where the borders are, but from where we stood in New Hampshire we could see Canada and Maine, probably Vermont, too. The Coot Trail was wider and probably could be used by vehicles that can handle steep hills with rocks and gravel when maintai...
