2026 Happy Blog Challenge

 July 8th Here are some happy things from today: My work week is over and I am happily ensconced in my new tent.  The SCA event I am at starts tomorrow.  As a member of staff I get to arrive early.  Some people have been here since Monday.  I only took one day off work, tomorrow.  Stephanie came to get me after work and we drove up together.  I managed to stay awake the entire three hour ride.  The GPS took us down some roads neither of us remember taking to get here before.  There are some beautiful lakes in Maine. Silena is co-running the event.  Silena, the local Exchequer, and I set-up the gate and they showed me how the paperwork is handled. I also got to visit with my protégé from Canada and some other friends.  Tomorrow that field will start to fill with cars. The gate tent where I will be spending much of my time. ☮ Continued listening to: Paladin's Faith , by T. Kingfisher. Thank you for being here and being part of my dail...

 July 7th Happy Tuesday things: Work was busy, but I made it through.  Sometimes that alone is joyful. Keziah got me a sticker! It reads, "Twas but a jest m'lord!" The majority of my things are packed for the SCA event this weekend.  I've even brought some of the things downstairs so they are ready to go when Stephanie picks me up tomorrow.  I was going to put them in the car, but it is raining.  No need to get them wet today. ☮ Continued listening to: Paladin's Faith , by T.

 Saturday the 28th of February  Here are some happy things from this last day of February: There were things I couldn't find this morning so I left later than I had hoped.  Arriving at the event later than I wanted was still on time though.  It was nice to see a bunch of friends.  I helped out a tiny bit at the gate (where people check in), but mostly attended court and talked with friends.  It was good to be able to sit and talk with others and brainstorm other event ideas, new treasurer rules, how to re-ignite the Cook's Guild, and more.  Their Majesties were gifted giant cookies. 👆This scroll was created on stained glass. 👇 After the event eleven of us went to a local restaurant for dinner.  We were pretty much the only people there besides the staff and the live musician.  Everyone but me (who doesn't really like food) really loved the food and want to go back there if we have an event near there again.  It was mostly barbecue, so ...
