[Bryn-gwlad] Upcoming Demo - Pirates of the Caribbean.Pleaseread, I need input.

[Ronda Melendez]

I am so very sorry that you feel that way Susan, I can assure you that 
having known these good people as briefly as I have that this was not 
intentional.  It could be that the person who was in charge of greeting the 
newcomers was not there.  I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong 
but I think it is.......Catalina?

Myself I have not been able to make it to these practices for awhile due to 
my work hours when I worked til 9 pm each night combined with the fact that 
I am expecting a little one and have a few health complications to go with 
it.......but now I am going to try to make all the practices that I can 
because I now work until 4:30 pm each day.

Please do give us another chance, and make yourself known there, we love to 
meet new people I swear we do!  :-)  Not too long ago I was in Wal-Mart with 
  my daughter and I was walking around wearing my Gothic Wars t-shirt (more 
like waddling around in my shape, hehe) when this very nice lady approached 
me and asked me about my shirt stating that she used to be in the SCA and it 
had been awhile for her.  I LOVED that!

I will definitely be not at the next practice because it is the 4th of July, 
but I will be at the one after that as I have promised someone here that 
they could browse through all of my research I have done online regarding 
12th century clothing.  Please do introduce yourself!  :-)
