[Steppes] Residence Poll

[Elaine]

Maybe the kids don't always have to celebrate at Grandma's (the  
"activity center")? Could "Grandma" (the event) kinda go on a lesser  
"progress" sometimes? My decrepit horse eats too much to travel a  
lot, and the oats from the East are getting even more expensive. The  
troubadours say the price of a sack may double in the next two years.

A traveling "Grandma" would be a marvel. It is known that even kings  
leave the castle once in a while, and there doesn't have to be a  
plague for an excuse to do it.....

PS. As a scribe, one of my favorite sayings is:
"Progress" only earns its name when what you have is better than what  
you had.
(I use that standard to judge everything from cookies to foreign rulers.
I also like the one about its only taking a little effort to turn  
"bread and water" into "toast and tea."---L)
