HA... We STILL HAVE NO POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!  Blasted Centerpoint beast, it dares to taunt this Dragon without power..

[Yrose]

PD, don't feel alone, I still have no power too.....

[Var Greyshadow]

No power group hug!  We don't have it yet either. 

Queen Boinnie, can you do some sort of spell to get the elctrons flowing again?

[C Dragonworks]

Queen Bonnie,
I think a POWERFUL spell is in order to restore the magical lights to the rest of the kingdom!  I feel REALLY very lucky that we only lost it for 5.5 days! Gosh I feel bad you all are still without. Camping as a way of life is really rough!!! I missed my "puter and phones most! Well the horses are all back in there pens.... YEAH it only took my 74 yr old mom and I all day to get the fences back up and the guys wormed,shots and bandages(for the ones in need) and returned to their homes.... now all is back to normal on that end... but I still have much to do! Cat

PS on the flip side I bought 2 new fruit trees(if you are looking for them CHEEP hit the local Houston Garden Center) they are 70% off now!>>WOOHOO!

[Rani Zemirah]

I will send as much of my own personal power as I safely can to all in need in the Southern Kingdom. I hope you are all at least feeling very Rennie roughing it down there! Just imagine you are surrounded by other rennies in camp, and try and stock up on libations of choice (rum, scotch, Loki... water!) If possible, invite other rennies over to share in your "adventure". Set something small on fire in the yard (far away from other flammables) , and sit around and tell "remember when" stories about Faire's Past.

I wish I could offer more concrete assistance. I can only send prayers at the moment. I promise I will pray fiercely, however, and send as much healing energy as I possess.

Fare you well, my new friends!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Sending powerful spells that all will return to normal in Houston and Galveston and damaged areas- soon!  Fie on IKE!ZAPPPPP!!!***<<<<<
Still recovering from Serendipity Haven!
What a good time this past weekend!
It was cool under the big oak trees and twas fun to see so many old friends. My Evil pirateTwin Womaned my booth and sold well. I am quite pleased. She is back out to sea- but will return for Pirate weekend at TRF. Hide your gold and rum! She returned my jewelry and MeowMobile before she left- so I might let her- Steal- er borrow them again.Pirates!
She performed pirate Karoke and a few naughty ballads. I think she is as much of a ham as I am.
I decided I will be vending at Serendipity Haven next March- I have a nice long time to work on more wands, Staffs and crystals! I am pleased that so many liked what I create!
Glad I have a few weeks to rest up for TRF. See you all there!
Now off to feed the Royal Felines!

[C Dragonworks]

Well Thankee for yur kind spells and prayers... I have a cute joke about Hurricanes(and Himacanes,like IKE) to share. Perhaps it will make those down the south way feel better!!!!

 Busy time here with TRF drawing near. I have been busy getting the MeowMobile ready for the trip. Monday I had a recall on my tire valve stems- so had to Trek to Discount Tire in Bastrop to get that fixed. The also rotated the tires? I thought tires rotated all the time anyway? LOL!
Today getting the headlights de fogged and unclouded. I bought a kit and was doing it myself- but the results were not the perfection I strive for- so my Royal Body shop has the car today.
Tachi is ailing and my Vet said to give him canned pumpkin with his chicken babyfood. Tachi actually ate it. He is a Wizard's kitty!
On to get organized for TRF. Getting out garb! Happy times ahead!

My Queen, what does the pumpkin do?

[Queen Bonnie]

 When you have a stopped up kitty it is supposed to help. I am being delicate!

[Rani Zemirah]

Majesty, I do hope Tachi's tummy is better today. I have never heard of the "pumpkin cure". Has it worked yet?

I would imagine everything down there is in an uproar getting ready for Faire. Are you in a happy whirl of anticipation? I can actually feel the excitement emanating from that region of the country as so many of you gear up for opening day! The last few days are always the most difficult to endure, I know, but they are also most full of the wiggly pleasure of impatience!!! I know you will all have a wonderful time!

[RenRobin]

Ahhhh!  Gotcha! good to know.
