RF - Thanks to many

[Denise Horton]

In giving thanks, I'd like to recognize those who helped cook the feast.
Largely, I think their efforts have been overlooked, since they were not
physically present at the "work weekends".  Despite appearances, they
were working all the same!  Three weeks of shopping, chopping, cooking,
and cleaning (even though that was a little ragged towards the end),
went into preparing that feast; three weeks of cooking after working a
full day in our real lives, and spending whole weekends preparing things
for THAT day.  In fact, I don't think that most people realize exactly
how much WORK was done!  Not that I require thanks for my efforts (I
knew I'd get jolly little when I considered volunteering for it), but
Cara and Catherine put in a lionshare and have been largely ignored in
the back-patting.  Other than complaints about the condition of the
kitchen (for which I am sorry occurred, but done is done), and having
_too much_ food, there have been no other issues brought up.  Don't let
this stand between you and thanking these marvelous ladies (one of whom
doesn't even reside in this Barony, mind you).  I have gotten all the
"Way to go"s I think I am going to get out of this, but they need it,
too.  

My two cents,
-Jacinth-
