Still at a Loss for Words

War Practice was fun, despite Mother Nature's best attempt to make a muck of Saturday.  The weather Friday was wonderful.  We ate good food, got to do a walk around the site, went to the ball for a bit.  It felt a little like home.

Saturday it rained.  It rained some more.  It got colder and rained even more.  But still hosted a breakfast for friends and taught my Viking textiles class (which went over well, but will have some more organization and samples by Pennsic).  I bought my refillable mug from Beast and Boar for Pennsic.  So despite the rain, it was a nice day.

Got dressed up in a new style of aprondress for Court.  Yay for me not tripping on the train!

I got to see friends get awards, and some new Fleurs made.  I was rather stunned when I was called forward to receive my writ for the Order of the Laurel.

I really still have no words. 

I have been doing a lot of thinking these last few days, and eventually I will put it all in writing.  Eventually.

I am greatly honored, but really, still cannot properly phrase everything that is going through my head.  My Vigil (date/time to be decided) and Elevation will be at Pennsic.

So I guess for now I am just going to work on some new garb and other preparations for Pennsic (and try not to halt my own progress by documenting the heck out of everything as I work, lol).

Congratulations! You will be a credit to the Order of the Laurel, I am certain.
