<P>We shall miss you and your good husband greatly, but we also can understand
your situation and totally undersand. Bjorn's mother shall remain in our
hearts and our prayers. I was certainly looking forward to you leading the
dead off to Valhalla, but you can do it next year. We will succeed and you
will always be in our thoughts and hearts as will Bjorn. </P>

<DIV>Greetings all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unfortunately I have a to let you all know that Bjorn and I
will be unable to attend the Grape Wars this weekend. We have
just been informed that Bjorn's mother had emergency surgery last night
and is in ICU in California. We need to stay near the phone as
there is a great possibility that we may have to go out there in the next
day or so. Prayers and all would be very welcome at this time as this
is her 4th or 5th emergency surgery on her intestines and things are NOT
looking good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, we came home tonight after my doctor's appointment in the city to
find there had been a salt water spill from the oil tanks on our property
that killed a bunch of trees and destroyed about 5 or more acres of my
pasture. So we're gonna have to stick around to deal with them as
well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am very dissappointed as I've been trying to find a good Valkyrie
Funeral Dirge, not to mention that I bought feathers to sew to a cape for
the whole "grab em and get em to Vallhalla" bit that we've been talking
about.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, Grim, we can't camp with your family this time, and you might
try and get with Cormac as he's going to need Friday Guards to help at
the gate. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cormac, I'm terribly sorry to have to let you down this
way. We hope the Grape War becomes an annual event and if
so, we hope to participate often and for many years.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll miss you all, and I know it will be nearly impossible, but do TRY
to enjoy your weekend without us.....<BR> </DIV>Lady Samarah Basimah
Latifa al Dhakira bint Anaan bint Mellilah <BR><BR>God be with you in every
pass. Jesus be with you on every hill. Spirit be with you in every stream,
headland, ridge and law, each sea and land, each moor and meadow, lying down
and rising up,in the trough of the waves or on the crest of the billow. Each
step of the journey you go, go with God.
