The best Guild Mistress anyone could ask for! She's honest, kind, and very funny. I always feel like I can go to her for any questions I may have, which is comforting. Being in charge of a Guild can be very hard work, so I'm truly grateful for all she does and continues to do. :)

Smart, witty, beautiful, and charming. Val has great people skills, and is a great friend. I met her at fair, and through her an entire group of people that I call friends. She's like an extra-fabulous sibling.

Oh, where to begin with Val? Her unasked-for sweetness and guidance has been something that has always made me smile. Her willingness to teach and help out is admirable, as well as her knowledge of all sorts of neat things. She's beautiful, strong and intelligent and I look up to her, and what better person to have as a mentor than Val?

Valerie is a personal hero and major Ren rock star in my life. She is beautiful and brilliant and level headed. If I had to name ten people who have truly dedicated themselves to our PFP Ent Dept from the beginning, she would be at the top of that list. She has been thrown in the trenches and been put through the ringer and came out shining. She is a dedicated friend and promoter of our faire. I'm proud to call her friend. And she's a wino...like the rest of us!

Smart and beautiful. I'm lucky to call her a friend, though it sometimes feels like she's gleefully torturing--er, I mean teasing me.

about me
Hmm, let's see. I'm not shy. Some people say I smile a lot. I like people that are real, or that can at least pretend they are real long enough to carry on an intelligent conversation. I have a wacky sense of humor, I love corny jokes and I am very sarcastic. If I tease you, it means I like you. I'm probably obnoxious. I have great friends and a wonderful family, including a teenage daughter who I am trying my very best to raise as a decent human. So far it seems to have worked. I consider myself very lucky. Carpe Diem and Life is Good, that's what I say.
It was HOT!
The Gate of Truth was a wonderful respite.
Many thanks to Ren, Liselle and Mykal for helping out on Sunday with a heat stroke emergency before the nurse arrived.
I was very impressed with the court depiction of the divorce of Henry and Katherine. It was very hot on Sunday and the actors' perfromances were energetic and well done, especially the priniciples, Henry and Katherine.
Pictures will folllow.

I am so sorry that I could not attend the ceremony!
I did however get to see the photos and it looked lovely.
I want to congradulate you both on your honors and well-deserved knighthood!
