Caitrin,

Thank you for your apology, though it was not your place, as you weren't the
person who made the slip.  I realized at the time that you weren't
responsible, and in fact wondered if you felt some chagrin that someone
mentioned it.  I'm just sorry you don't consider me a close enough friend to
warrant an invitation.  I'd really like to be better friends, and am sorry
if I have seemed stand-offish or aloof.  I've had a whole lot on my mind
these last few months, and have probably not done enough to make new people
feel welcome.  That, or perhaps I need to switch brands of deodorant.  :)

I really don't want to sound like a cry-baby, but I did feel a bit left out,
especially since I posted to the list a couple of times in the last few
weeks about doing something, going to a movie, or asking if anything was
going on, and found no one wanting to do anything.

I have always considered my Canton my extended family.  When Logan and I
lived in Olney a few years back, I would have been happy to stay there and
play with Brad Leah, who were always so welcoming, except for the fact that
I missed the people of Loch Ruadh so much.

Madelina

Madelina,

Terry and I's party was neither Canton, House Mac, nor SCA related. We have
been having this party for years, with an invitation list that encompasses
family and close friends. I apologize for comments being made directly to
the list, but had no part in those notes. As there is usually quite a crowd
we do not deliver general invitations to large groups of people. Kathy
