The End Of Another Season

[Lord Virgil]

The bittersweet reality that another year of Faire has come and gone. 

Barb and I will miss each and every one of our good friends that we have had the pleasure of knowing through MiRF.

I consider many of my Ren friends as extended family.  The list is too long to mention here, but most know who you are.  We still have the Masque to look forward to, and I think we will try to make Mid-Michigan this year if finances allow. 

The cast is great, but as our wonderful Queen put it so eloquently...it is the patrons that make MiRF what it is, the best darn Faire around.  Thank you each and every one for making this year's run an enjoyable one yet again

[Margaret]

I was fortunate enough to meet lady Margaret in person this year as well, she's just as much a little stinker in person as on here,    Glad to have made your acquaintance m'lady.

HA!  How did I miss this!!

And that's Pernicious Harpy to you Mister!   

Truly, it was finally nice to meet you and your Lady face to face as well.

[Madge Estes]

Ah, yes, the season is done.  I am home in warm Florida.  Now to unpack and dry clean and cherish the memories of another wonderful fair season.  Thank you, all for making it what it was!  Til next year...

You're already home?!! - - Smart cookie get out of the icky weather and get better - Austin and I both have the plague and can't tell if we are getting rid of it or giving it back and forth to each other. Aye love ya share everything -pathetic really.

Give the puppies smootchies and belly rubs and look forward ta seein ya when next we can.
Hey when do those darn Florida fests start - eh??

[Eric of Lyon]

Wish I was in Florida.  Autumn isn't shaping up so good.

[LadyAnn]

Ah, yes, the season is done.  I am home in warm Florida.  Now to unpack and dry clean and cherish the memories of another wonderful fair season.  Thank you, all for making it what it was!  Til next year...

Glad to hear you've made it home safe and sound.  Until we meet again {{HUGS}}!

[Lady Deborah]

You are the best Madge, brightest blessings to you for all you bring to our faire.  Can't wait until we see you again next year.

[Guinevere of Leonesse]

Good to see you back home Madge, safe and sound. Enjoy your British goodies that Claire, Lucy and I gave you.

[Madge Estes]

Yeah, gypsyqueenie, was supposed to leave Monday afternoon, but I have the fair funk too and so decided to rest up and leave Tuesday morning.  Drove straight through and arrived in the very early a.m Wednesday.

Today was HOT!  almost, and note I said almost, makes me wish for MI again!

[L Dale Walter]

I got to sleep past 6AM today!  First weekend day I was able to do that since July 11.

Great run, but glad for the break.

Now to clean all of the equipment, launder the costumes, clean and polish the leather, and put everything in storage.

Clean costume
Repair boots, add new soles etc.
Have reconstructive knee surgery, I skipped it in July for some odd reason....

[Lady Deborah]

As we packed for the first non-ren weekend last Friday, it seemed very strange to not be grabbing garb, boots, flasks......flask filling supplies.........but we still spent the weekend with ren friends, only this time at a casino.  (Firekeepers by the way, much fun.)  Ren friends truly are the best, and we shall miss seeing you all.....until next season!

[robert of armstrong]

I was able to visit on two weekends this year, and every year seems to build on the sucess of the last.  Thanks for being such a big part of my life's enjoyment, even if I only get to spend three days of my year at MiRF.

Thinking and planning already for next year, but we are hoping to have another little one by the time Faire rolls around (no good news yet though) and that could impact travel plans for the end of the summer and into the fall next year.  We'll have to see.

Thanks everyone.

No rest at all here... Jumped right into rehearsal for Night of the Living Dead, which opens Oct.22nd.  See here for more:

well we did indeed rest and snuggle (shadbolt8 tell Liz) since we haven't slept in since mid May until we finally got motivated and started doing stuff around the house that we haven't done since mid May. I understand totally Dale. Although the knee thing sounds terrible - just think of all the great canes you get to use for real now.

Madge ewwwwwe - no rest for the wicked I see
