Caitrin, Tegwared, Aingeal and Eiric(sp)all made it home safe and sound ( once
the under-skirt was removed making for easier driving of the standard shift :
) ! )

Hunter's Moon was held at a wonderfully bucolic and serene site. The sun was
warm, the grass green, and the trees of wonderous character.

We arrived ( late by Fiona's reconning ) just intime to sign in for morning
Court, then found a perfect site for our easy-up adjacent to the Archery List
were to of our happy group intended to strut their stuff. The day was
leisurely and satisfying, good food and company were shared, many purchases
made; Aingeal's new purple over-dress is to die for! Scottish tasting cups may
become the new rage.

On the Archery list Tegwared made his debut after many protests and attempts
to dodge the inevitable. he acquitted himself well, completed the competition
and declared it more fun than he had anticipated. Eiric competed well after a
sleight handicap due to having dishonored his Lady ( I'll let Aingeal regale
you with the details). His bonus round was conducted from the level of Boyer,
much to his appearant dismay; but found that a 30 yard shot is at least easier
than a 40. Erick made one Bulls-Eye shot  during a speed round. If you wish a
more detailed account see the Archers.

Lady Asa our beloved A&S mistress, entered the competition with miniature
pictures and mulled wine. The wine was ambrosia to the pallate and the
pictures incredible. She won the day with her portraits and brought home a
wonderful prize basket filled with numerous goodies.

Alaric and Gwenllian challenged one another to a round of cribbage, challenges were
set ands beads changed hands. We hear that Alaric took two hands, see the
contestants for a blow-by-blow or point-by-point  as the case may be.

Feast was delicious, plentiful, and filling. We were joined at table by the
merchant mistress of Phoenix(pardon but her name escapes me). Many pardons
Lady if you read this list. Alaric, Asa, and Gwen graciously volunteered to
assist in serving said feast. Court was held during Feast and many prizes were
awarded for the day.Lady Fiona won the Bear of Candy raffle for Gate bu
guessing that the number of delicacies within the bear numbered 156, there
were in fact 157! Alaric garnered a prize for our warchest by accumulating a
grand total of 211(? I believe) challenge beads during the day.

The night turned crisp and as we sat around a table in the cool of the night
discussing topics vast and various, we were entertained by dancing bells at
the request of Lady Elizabeth ( ask her where her gold dollar went) and the
renowned ladies of House Mac were serenaded in poem by Christian the Housecarl
of Falcon Rose. His poem was a tribute to Honor and much appreciated by his
audience.

As Bardic began, Alaric, Fiona, and Elizabeth settled in to enjoy the voices
of Emerald Keep, Aingeal,  Eiric, Gwen, and Caitrin tasted of the Brewing
entries, tegwared rested his weary bones, and Asa mingled with the crowd. Soon
Caitrin, Tegwared, Aingeal, and Eiric set out upon their journey home, leaving
the others of our fair group to the revels of the night.

If I missed anything scribe away.

Sounds like we were there a week don't it?!?!
