Hi Mari!  Sounds like you had quite a time of it at Rowany.  It isn't fun to
sleep in a wet bed, that's for sure.

I don't understand what you are saying about your cooks guild.  Can you
explain it to me better?  It sounds like you folks compete for merit badges
or something.

I sure hope I get to see some of the marzipan work and other work that you
and others down there do!  You all know me, a picutre is worth a thousand
words.
Olwen
