We will be bringing our pickup to drag branches and such to the fire pit, a chainsaw, a somewhat decent lawn mower and other assorted implements. I was not able to go by the site this week.

candlelight,during a most tasty feast made the evening gathering realistic.</div><div id="yiv1595462719yui_3_13_0_ym1_7_1391700913620_9"> Gates Edge caring and support of Sir Dietrich, displayed not only their love for him, but showed the vast and deep respect in which Ansteroria regards him. Sir Dietrich's bardic perfomance and acknowledgement of Hanse's son, so named by his mother, "Bastard", is the best memory of the day. When Hanse told Bastard that he was "a son of a Baron", I spoke up and said that I would hang them both for trying to claim the lands we hold in fief for His Majesty. Hanse's replied "Son, you will be, well hung, like your father." The hearty laugh of all who heard him only added more joyfulness to another special happenning of this event. </div><div id="yiv1595462719yui_3_13_0_ym1_7_1391700913620_9"> Such a display of artistic talent of the A&S and their donated items
for Sir Dietrich's silent
auction, reminded me of the A&S, I have only seen at major Kingdom events and some even exceeded those I have seen at such competitions. The amount's final bid on the creations, reflect the skill of which each of the Artisians possess.</div><div id="yiv1595462719yui_3_13_0_ym1_7_1391700913620_9">Vivat to Bryn Gwlad, Hellsgate and to all those present.
