please excuse the bandwidth, but I really just wanted to say a huge
THANK YOU to all those from Elfsea that braved the heat to help us, help Mistress Arastya and her husband Jon get moved
into their new place. <br>
<br>
There were at least 10 individuals from Steppes, and another 8 or 10
from Elfsea. It was a genuinely warming experience to see so many people
show up to help one of our own in a time where they really needed us. <br>
I know for a fact that Arastya was genuinely and deeply touched that so many of us were there to help. <br>
<br>
I have been thanked over and over again for putting it together, but
really, I just was being my bossy-self, and telling people where to be,
and at what time ;) Those of you that actually showed up with that
asking for help are the people we are all greatly thankful for. Giving
up your Sunday to get a fellow SCAdian moved, when you honestly didn't
have to, including braving triple digit heat to do so. I am truly
humbled by the generosity and the happiness with which everyone came
out. <br>
<br>
We began actually moving stuff out of the house at 10:30am, and were
done by 4pm. And while you would think that many people would have been a
disaster, it was one of the most fluid moves you have ever seen. <br>
<br>
I am happy to report that Jon was annoying the nurses and doctors so
much, that he was deemed fit to be released late yesterday to continue
his healing at home! *lol* <br>
I don't know whether to be excited for Arastya, or cringe! ;)<br>
<br>
<br>
But seriously, thank you all for being so giving of your time and
energy. It was a remarkable thing to witness and be a small part of. <br>
