>I have to brag on the children of Ansteorra.

>  Arnbjorn Ulfsson (my son, Anthony) fought Friday at a Barrier battle for
>the Ladies of the Company of St. Olaf along with Richard (Donnel's son) and
>they both comported themselves well on the field of honor.
>
>Saturday, there was held a Tournament for the Youth Combatants, and
>Arnbjorn
>won the Ram division (Ages 9-12). After winning that division handly with
>his great sword, Arnbjorn was asked by Count Sir Robert to fight the
>non-destructive bye and won against a larger, older fighter as well.
>Richard fought with great honor as well.  There were many Knights attending
>this Youth Tournament and I heard it said that the children fighting that
>day would be the ones storming the fort in a few years.
>
>Arnbjorn also worked in the Kennel Lands and received a greyhound medal
>from
>the Queen of Meridies for taking care of her personal hound.
>
>The children of Elfsea did great things.  Whitney (whose SCA name I can't
>remember) did several hours of volunteer work at Scribes point.  Sam and
>Arnbjorn did ice runs to help out the camp (and earn spending money).  They
>also helped with filling the kitchen water jugs, digging trenches,
>gathering
>firewood and kindling, and entertaining the younger children in camp.
>
>Meridies allows 16 & 17 year olds to fight in the chivalric battles, so
>young Ian MacConnacher of Bryn Gwlad has a great story to tell about
>killing
>the King of the Middle during the Ravine Battle.  Young Nick, son of Lady
>Sibree (sp?) and Earl Drake, also has stories to tell about his fighting in
>the fort battles.  He fought well and with great honor.  He also had fun
>because the other fighters thought he was Earl Drake due to his red
>"Company
>of the Hunt" jupon and Drake's shield with the differencing duct taped
>across it.:-)
>
>Lady Marissa, Sir Wilhelm's daughter, had almost 50 hours of volunteer work
>turned in by Saturday at 2 pm - mostly from working the Sanicrat duties
>keeping the bathrooms clean and well-stocked.  Wow!!!
>
>
>Our children are to be loved and cherished.  Vivat the heirs of

*** St. Theresa's Prayer ****
May today there be peace within
May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to
be....
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that
has been given to you....
May you be content knowing you are a child of God....
Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to
sing, and dance,
It is there for each and every one of you....
