RF'ers, who will join me in a last Huzzah Tea with the Queen on Sunday of closing weekend? I've not had the chance yet and I'd love to see all our smiling faces around the tea... or "tea" ;) .... tables to send off our season with style.
What say you?
And Ambios (Lord Northampton) will most likely sing for you.....
Then again...hope that doesn't scare anyone away! ;)
Is that the part of tea where we get to sing along? :) :)
..hey, you all said you wanted to make tea more interactive.... ;D
You can bet on it. We've been having fun with me teaching refrains to the attendees! Will give some thought to what I'm going to sing...but not going to let it out of the bag in advance. Any suggestions for me to "take under consideration"?

March of Cambreadth?
I will admit to never having heard that until you introduced me to it, and I then called it up on the web. I like it well, but must say it's a bit bloody ('tis a war song afterall) for Queen's Tea. I may have to commit it to memory though...ye might here me singing it someday while walking about with Her Majesty!

On the contrary, I heard your beautiful voice a few weekends ago at Queens Tea and though the song was sad your voice was rich and clear. I highly reccomend your singing for all to hear. :)
<blushes!> Grammercy, Mmketeer...I remember seeing you and your mum near the head table! Glad you enjoyed....thankee for the stro... ::)...er...
compliments! :D
Well, I can write us a Ren-version of whatever song you may like to sing, Brother Ambios!!!
I've got a lot of "choices" stored in my head already 8), but I'll DEFINITELY keep that in mind. I'm no stranger to singing at Tea...or anywhere else, for that matter. Madge and I even did an impromptu "Captain and the Queen" ::) songset up by front gate this past weekend when one of the scheduled musicians didn't show up for his slot.
sounds like it was fun!
wish I'd seen it
'Twas...'twas....
Come on over to tea on closing day and we'll see what happens!
I shall, most definitely, be at Tea on closing day.
Save me a seat
Something with a view.
Something with a view of the Queen's lovely countenance and a short wait for all that wonderful food that I got to sample week one!
Oh, 'tis going to be a wondrous thing...
Dearest Count Adolfo,
Thou art moste kind indeed, and for certes we shall await in anticipation a wonderful tea upon that day!
Sounds like much fum will be had on this day....giggle.....I will be there ...giggle...or other half will be!!!
Yay! :) :) The party is on!
A Tea
ne'er hath a tea been so anticipated as this...
and yet, dreaded... for when it comes, 'twill be the final one for the season...
so I do say... I cannot, and yet can... wait!
Nay, no dread Count. For as our King is fond of saying we must leave in order to return again. So it is with final tea. With the ending of our faire and final tea we are one day closer to opening day and seeing our Queen and her wonderful Court entertain us again. :)
wishing she could be there....
alas... we have once again missed being able to come down to the Southern Shire... but by the looks of it.. the last day of Tea with her most beautiful and gracious Majesty is going to be bountiful indeed...
remembering a rousing round of Musical Men.....
wishing you all a grand time at tea!!!
Nay, no dread Count. For as our King is fond of saying we must leave in order to return again. So it is with final tea. With the ending of our faire and final tea we are one day closer to opening day and seeing our Queen and her wonderful Court entertain us again.
WTF?
seconded
I'd prefer to enjoy the time we have and not rush it by...
I am in no hurry to be a day closer to the next season...
This has been quite an enjoyable season, despite setbacks... and I stand by my original stance of "I can't wait, but I can"
Count, you misunderstand my meaning. In plainer english I am saying don't dread a moment merely because it will mean an ending. Look forward to each moment that comes, and when the event comes to a close, as all events do, know that the "again" is that much closer. Stand as you will, I was merely offering my own thoughts.
Hector...see above. Or in keeping with your own comment...THAT'S the f***. ;)
Awwww, Anna.........
I just learned how to tell time and now you gotta go and hit me with all that....logical stuff..... ;)
Good Lord...right? :D
I'm going back to filling my flask and getting my bottom to faire. See you round the grounds Seamus. :)
Okay mom and I will try and make it next Sunday for the last day of fair and Queen's Tea to see hello to some of you that I did not yet get see this year (Lady Anne) and good-bye as well.
:) Looking forward to seeing you Mmketeer.

Trisha and I will be attending...but this year...we hope to share the table with the other R/F'ers...last year we were stuffed in back at the Windward side of the tent... quite wet it was...

Lady Donegan, you will be missed. I am sorry you won't be able to make it this weekend. ;( Yes, I would definitly plan on making out for the last weekend next year. The last weekend is the last chance we all have to get together, so I'd say most everyone comes on at least one of the last days on the last weekend of BARF. Usually we put a nice list together on the forum of who's coming when and on what days etc., but we didn't really seem to get that accomplished this year. Maybe next year we'll do better and it will make it easier for you're planning. ;)
Shame we can't help you out there...
'twill be a lovely tea and your presence there wouldst only have brightened it further.
Hey guys.... can you help me out a bit with a head count?? If everyone could please stop by the booth and let me know your going so I can make sure that we have seats all together. Twill be a peeply grand occasion and much fun will be had by all..!! BUT if we are to ALL be seated as a group.... a group number will help.
giggle..... this will be a tea to remember..... and a GROUP PHOTO Will be done after tea is over.....so if your not at tea can ya stop by to get in the pic??
The tea was amazing!
No, not the tea
the TEA
It was fun, hilariously at times...
Ambios, quite the voice you have... and quite the skill for putting a brother Rogue on the spot...
but your kind words were inspiration to rise to the occasion.
Madge Estes... oh, you devilish Peep Lover...
I cannot express to you enough how wonderful this season has been and how responsible for that you have been.
Musical men... oh, now since I didn't make it to the game last weekend in time to participate, this was a wondrous bit of fun for me.
I even got Her Majesty once! Thanks, Leinad, for helping me up when it was my time to rise.
I have said this before... when Rennies come in from larger Faires... about our shire.
It bears saying again:
"What we lack in size, we more than make up for in character"
'twas spectacularly evident that this is true at the Queen's Tea today.
Thanks, everyone for a wondrous time!

Many thanks, my good Count! Sorry for the surprise (yeah, right....NO I'M NOT) ;D....you and Falcone were exactly the addition I knew you would be when I told Madge I wanted to do that to you!
To ALL of you who attended yesterday (with special thanks to Leinad and Escarlata).....this marked my 5th year as Madge's "brother".....and this was the BEST TEA YET! Huzzah to all of you.....as Madge is fond of saying (from the heart), and I'm paraphrasing mightily here.....without all of you there would be no Tea!!
Already looking forward to next year!!!!
The tea was perfectly wonderful. :) Like a good Peep-Tea-ni...the perfect concoction of history, humour, dancing and Peep shenanigans. :D :D :D
Yes! Most special thanks to Esc and Leinad for orchestrating the scroll and roses for the Queen. It was really touching and the icing on the cake for sure.
Ahem...Count... you forgot to mention the lovely lady that won you at the game of Musical Men. :)
Most especially the best treat was to look down the table and see the crazy lot of us at one table. A nice reminder that it takes alot of different colored threads to weave a truely lovely tapestry. I'm glad we ( nearly all) made it. :)
Had a truly fabulous time at tea! Thank you so much for accommodating all of our motley crew.
Here is one of the best shots I got all season!

Touche', FOKTOP!
LOL! Caught red handed!...and so gleeful too....Hmmmm
Mayhaps it's time for Katherine to call the Peep Help Line.
1-800-dnt-eatm
Funny, I had thought it was 800 NO-PEEPS
Anyway... I most wholeheartedly hope that a few hundred thousand pictures of the Tea surface, for there is no way to relive it so the pictures will have to do!
Ambios, of course, you know I jest... anytime I may be of any assistance even in a small way, please do not hesitate to call upon me.
I'm still wishing the season were not over... but I know all good things must eventually come to an end. I'm sure there are a few projects I have been neglecting and some friends I should go see...
but if it had to come to an end...
at least it did so with "A Tea to Remember"
Count, I can only reccomend the Peep Help Line Anna used many years ago on the old forum. I cannot speak for the success of any other line, though NO-PEEPs may be a good one as well.
Of course..come to think of it...Anna needs a refresher visit herself. She does continue to hold a soft squishy spot in her heart for Peeps. ;)
OOH... someone say Peeps?
Indeed, dear R/Fers, yesterday's was absolutely amazing. I want to thank all of you for all of the support you have given me throughout this season, for your presence at tea, and for your lovely gift. My house smells lovely with the HUGE bouquet of roses, and the scroll will soon be hung up on the wall in my office.
You all are the BEST!!
Nothing beats an all R/F's tea gathering. It's my favorite part and I look forward to it all year!! I can't believe I braved and survied musical this year without falling on my you know what or worse falling into the queen. ;)
Thank you to Escarlata and Leinad for putting together such a beautiful way for us to show our appreciation to our lovely queen and for being there for my mom when she was in need of a friendly face. I know I am very bad daughter for not rushing to her side, but she said she was fine and their was this guy and a hankercheif, oh never mind. My bad, so again a big thank you. ;)
Thanks to the court for putting up with the you got "peeped" pins. The queen may have had the most Lady Maude, but you my dear get the sweet distinction for being the first in court to be "peeped" that morning. ;).
Thanks as always to Lady Fair and her hubby, whom always give my mom and I place to feel welcomed at fair and for the fan and the "Peeper pins." I was too nervous to really get into the game this time, but I hope we do something like that again that was alot of fun and next time.....Oh boy I'll be ready! LOL!
Thanks to the Queen, her brother Ambios, Lady Maude, the always funny Next and his team of castmembers, I attended tea twice this year and they always put on such a wonderful production of food and merriment. I always reccomend it to folks. :) And yes my queen I did learn some great tea things this year and saw a tea brick for the very first time. Huzzah! Now remembering the stuff I learned maybe a whole another story. LOL!
Gosh, I know I am leaving alot of folks out and for that I am sorry. Their are lots of folks that make BARF special, but none as aparant to me as the R/F's. I am truely blessed to be able to spend such quality time with ya'll and I am already looking forward to next year. ;)
And Father Simon if you ever come back on the boards...I want you to know I missed you this year and your longbow guidance.

Tea with the Queen was a grand "PEEP tackular" affair to remember, so much fun and good times....

NoBill Lurker, Lord and Lady Caligo, Father Simon, to name but a few.. memories are like pictures, but captured in your mind forever, just like true friends are your angels on earth.

Ladyfair... I hope you don't mind... I took my personal favorites of the group and fixed the color a little...
The problem with red tents... EVERYTHING takes on a red color...

I will post mine eventually also... including the videos...
wow... wish I were crafty like that!
I can't figure this technology stuff out to save my life
most excellent job
and I LOVE the funny-face picture!!!
oh, you know what I think the best part of those pictures is?
it's awesome to see so many of my favourite people all in one place.
The touch ups of the photos is great...... I was bummed a bit with the red hues..... you made them look much better!!
Ane yes, twas GRAND to see us all together again, but still missed a few folks who wanted to be there but alas could not.
I still have some pics from opening day tea to post ..... giggle..... so many great memories from this year, thank you all for including us whenever it was possible!!!
pssttttt..... your Madge Estes.... hope you did not mind having a last day bit of fun with us...... after all you got surrounded by your "PEEPS"....giggle...... and the clothes line..... giggle....
I knew I had been peep pinned during the day, but I think the majority happened during tea. I believe the final count was 26! As Ladyfair noted, I felt like a clothesline at the end of the day.
And BTW, go ahead and drink your tea the Russian way if you want, but NEVER try the Russian way with a peep.... Absolutely DOESN'T work! ;)
I wondered, after I teased you in to that, whether you were drinking your tea hot or cold. If cold, I'll bet it really was nasty. I was thinking hot tea and the peep dissolving.

Ah the lengths to which our Queen will go to keep us entertained. :)
Uhmm I think vodka would met them. Or better yet, RUM!
We may have to try keel hauling some peeps with Captain Anne. Oh, Oh, RUM SOAKED peeps! Fer Rum Soaked Pirates!

***wipes drool off the keyboard***
Vanilla Whaler Peeps... mmmm... Has possibility.
Never again peeps with cold tea though. But I may have to try it with hot tea. Might work... kinda like marshmallows in hot chocolate.
I'm not so sure about the peeps soaked in alcohol. After all, Vodka melts Jolly Ranchers just fine and it doesn't take very long either.

*chuckling* You'd have to hear Molden tell the story but the result is a wonderous invention called Baa-Baa and it comes in your favorite flavor. Can you guess what mine is?
Baa-Baa?!? Is that because that is the only thing one can say after drinking it? Or because one starts wandering around calling for sheep?

Not a shabby guess My Queen! ;)
Actually, t' make Escarlata's favorite flavor (Cinnamon) - it takes 3 full bags of Cinnamon Fire Jolly Ranchers in 1.75 liters of Tito's Vodka. Hence - from "Yes Sir, Yes Sir 3 bags full..." y' werkses in reverse t' "Baa-Baa black sheep 'ave ye any wool?" ...
When I introduced it, I dispensed it in 1 pint bottles. I gave th' first t' my then girlyfriend along with another friend t' sample. I turned around a few moments later - they drank all but a few swigs. I took back the bottle an' advised 'em t' sit down before the fell down... It tasted like candy t' 'em - however, they failed t' take int' account tha' they'd swigged nearly a pint of vodka atwixt th' both o' 'em w'in but a few minutes! :o

OMG that sounds amazing.
It was GREAT!
Esc and Leinad gave us bottles at their handfasting last year. We savoured every drop of it!
Believe me, it was delicious for breakfast! ;D
Jack, if I remember correctly, that's the only thing that had you talking on Sunday.
The handfasting bottles were a gift from Molden for us to share with all of you. He's a love, he is!
You'd be right, Esc. Between allergies and that damned pipe of mine, my vocal cords were on strike!

Thank GOD I have learned not to read this forum whilest drinking anything...
oh, speaking of drinks... that cinnamon Baa Baa Molden speaks of?
I had that meself at the Handfasting and can attest... WOW WOW WOW and another WOW for good measure!
What a wondrous concoction!
I'll second that, Count! Like Molden said, it's like liquid candy. HIGH OCTANE liquid candy! (http://forum.piratesahoy.net//style_emoticons/default/buds.gif)
Ask LJ about the ... can't remember, it was green so either watermelon or green apple ... either way, it's just as good.
Ohhhh, wonder what the sour apple would taste like with some Buttershotz added to it? The Earl of Greensmith's famous drink with an added kick.

The only out-an'-out failure was th' blue raspberry from th' bulk pack. I had hopes fer a Romulan Ale ... but, alas 'twas quite gnarly. :P

Every single bit is true... my favourite thing about being here in the BARF area... is that we certainly are a warm and close fairemily.
Molden, you scheming scallywag... what o'er forms of debaucherous decanters did ye not tell us ye tried?
At the very least.. maybe we can help ye experiment and find the perfect recipe?

OWWWW!
Aye, it's buggerin' good stuff!! But the fun starts with the party what makes the Baa Baa. In the Original Molden Cantos, various other disreputables were to be invited. It takes a lot of work, ya know, unwrapping Jolly Ranchers and then dropping them in a bottle. And then there's this problem of displacement...all that vodka has to go somewhere.. ;)
It's fun from start to finish! :D
Does it have to be Tito's Vodka? I tried it with Smirnoff's and it didn't taste the same.
Mmm...I am thinking of Baa-Baa for TNRF.
It dissolves pretty fast and is ready to drink right then and there, yes?
LOL...I wouldn't think it could get any mellower with age like Loki.
Does it have to be ranchers? Can you make it with any kind of hardcandy..I'm thinking mint or butterrum. :)
Molden was fairly adamant on this. So was Shanalee, who quite defined the term adamant. ;D Tito's Vodka and Jolly Ranchers. Accept no substitutes. The flavor profiles aren't there. And who wants this stuff any 'mellower', anyway.....? The girls knocked it back like it was Kool-Aid!
OK, got it!
Tito's and Jolly Ranchers. No Smirnoffs and Skittles.
No wonder it tasted different.
Ooops! Off topic!

Well praise the Lord. A new (self moderating) WW has arisin!! Hallelula!!!!! *Angels singing here*
Kidding WW...kidding.
In my opinion some threads can wander and it's no big deal, while some, like pictures from our faire, should be dedicated to that. Not pics from everywhere else. A good conversation will take on a direction of it's own and I am in no way trying to stifle *anyone* Period. I am though trying to keep thing tidy, so that anyone who wants to search out particular information can find it. Again, I am no in any way trying to stop the fun. I hope our "family" will always be happy and feel free to drop in here for a chat about *whatever* Just start a new topic if you think you are going to be seriously hijacking someone elses. Otherwise it's no big deal.

WW, it's not a matter of defering. I don't see myself as some "voice of authority". Truthfully I'm still trying to figure out what would work best for our particular group. I'm not trying to smack anyone down. Just trying to find a good balance that works for *everyone* who comes here, including those who don't post, but read along looking for information. I'm always open to helful suggestions. Contact via Ren Mail anytime. No arguments please, but helpful input. This is *our* forum after all, not just *mine*.
Now please, let's get back to...beverages.
One brief wander off and on topic...I think...me compass n' brain operates much like me skiff...scuttled rudder, tangled riggins an' all... ;)
WW - you hit th' point exact-a-mundo on why Tito's over Smirnoff an' others. For verification - do a taste test with Tito's vs. the others. It doesn't have the typical vodka taste (an' after taste). It's very smoooooth, so ALL you taste is the jolly rancher an' not the vodka. Hence th' ability to go down so well...and dangerously.
An - Aye...th' jolly ranchers disolve fairly quickly. Shakin' th' bottle 'elps expedite th' situation. Once dissolved, she's ready t' drink - requires no aging.
Again - 'tis 3 bags (~33 pieces per bag on average) t' 1.75 liter o' Tito's. Pour it off t' th' top o' the label (make a coupla nice screwin' drivers or bloody marys) to make room fer th' jolly ranchers. Add about 2 1/2 bags, dissolve, sample some t' "taste test" an' t' makeses moar room fer th' rest o' the candy. Ok - so it's not exactly 1.75 liters t' 3 bags o' jr - but there be sompthin' in th' alchemy o' the deal where the partakin' o' spirits makeses th' batch turn out so good.
An' nows I retarn ye t' yer previous intellectual discourse. :D
Intellectual discourse...hmm...seems I might have seen one laying about somehwhere.....*Anna roots around*.....no...that just navel lint.... ;D
Thanks for the official recipe Molden.
Intellectual Discourse?

My Favourite moment from Her Majesty's Tea was last year on St. Molden's Day of all things...I was seated w' Escarlata n' Leinad as Her Majesty announced that "...in honour of one who traveled so far to visit (Her) Shire" we would play her favourite game - Musical Men! Th' kicker was, as Her Majesty made this proclamation - she walked over n' held out her hand - bidding me to join her. Taking Her hand, I stood on th' bench, stepped up on th' table and joined her syde w'out losing her dignified hand.

Just good conversation, folks. Reviewing the season at faire and laughing about all the drama that we didn't share in....
I'm glad you brought that up. I want to apologise for seeming rude. As you recall, it was long after canon and I was hanging about waiting for Judy and Dave and a few others to pack up so we could join a gathering at dinner. I was across the lane with Tony and a another couple chating about some of the good times . I wanted to say goodby to the Count. The two of you were deep in conversation and I didn't want to interupt, but I was moved to give him a hug goodby. The thought was there to hug you as well, but I thought it wouldn't be well received. Anyway, I just didn't want you or Count to think it was a deliberate snub.

Oh, maitre d'.....!

Did some one say they were looking for a door? Since you all are chompin' at the bit to get to TN and start drinking and Musical Men'n... ;D

Ah, just kidding you guys. This thread lost it direction a long time back with some loose references here or there. For all of you who get to play Musical Men again before I do.. :(...I hope you have a good time. Have fun, and don't talk to strangers...
Oh..and especially for you Jack...a window:

Such hospitality! I'm touched. :D
WW, I know that. I was just trrying to tie in all the loose ends to one silly comment.
Jack you should be touched. Just playing with you. It's not like I PUSHED you out of it! ;D ;D
Wow...
So, uhmmm, How bout those Mets?
Hey, training camp is coming up.... ::)
Seamus, hon, pass me that hot dog with the fabulous brown mustard on it. Oh, and a beer.
*Cleveland stadium's brown mustard was so legendary that you can buy it here under the name of Stadium Mustard* ;)
and a bag o' chips.......
Cheesy nachos for me! Extra jalapenos! ;D

Hey, um Mr. Ueker, the season is underway already!
Indeed, the Queen, Madge Estes, graciously allowed us to borrow Musical Men last year for the RendETTEvous, but there aren't any plans this year to repeat the experience (as if it ever could be repeated!).
I think I'm gonna go upstairs and make a cup of tea and then a hot dog!
These subliminal food messages are making me hungry.
And for once I can say I was there at a Musical Men (in TN, which was awesome) because the Queen did dancing the day Steve and I visited BARF. And she got him to dance! Madges Estes is magical!

That would be
football that I was referring to, Mr Madden! ;D
My goodness. You all threw out a page of walking out the door lines. I figured I'd play along. As I said before, this is *our* forum. Everyone is welcome to join in our threads, and everyone is encouraged to have fun. Simple enough. Stop looking for harm where no harm was intended.
Nicki , I know Madge loaned it out. It was me that asked you to contact Madge to get permission first because I knew it was part of her act or bit and I didn't want there to be bad feelings of any sort over the game. That's why I spoke in the Scarby thread as well. Just making sure everyone knows it would be proper to ask permission. Just in case they haven't realised. Who made me the Musical Men police...ummm...no one. Just looking out for someone I like. I'm glad you got to play. I assumed since you all like the game so much you might have asked again. I assumed since most of those chatting in this thread planned to be at TN, and this is a thread about Musical Men, there might be a tie in. It's no insult, just an assumption.
Now as I said before, if anyone has something they'd like to say to me privatly about this thread or some other expectations, contact me via ren mail. Otherwise, back to the fun.

Madges Estes is magical!
Truer words na'er spoken! I be a BIG fan of Her Royal Highness.
*grabbing bag of chips from Seamus* Thanks, Dearie, how did you know I was craving those? ;D
I agree with Renee and Molden!
Some of my best faire memories are from the Queen's Tea! I was sad to miss it this time, but there's always MIRF!
*turns chips bag upside down*
Aw...you all ate them!
I agree, Athena, it would have been fun to play Musical Men...but we did find other ways to have fun, didn't we? ;)
OK so I was getting used to having Seamus' mint juleps every Saturday morning. :D
Methinks Steve and I have to make it back to BARF soon! Musical Men and Mint Juleps. Oh, what we're missing.
*Renee sits down to plan next vacation -- the Caribbean, preceded by a stopover in Tampa for the weekend and a trip to BARF. Like it might happen. Sigh*
OK, that does it! I have to make it down there one weekend. No two ways about it!
And Renee, if you do go to the Caribbean, you have to stop at St. Thomas. I know all the good places in Charlotte Amalie. They even wanted to hire me on the spot at Blackbeard's Tower! But I ended up correcting their presentations in exchange for drinks instead. ;D

OMG, I just had a thought (SHUT UP, it happens on occasion LOL).... Seamus's mint juleps served at Queen's Tea! OK, maybe the masses aren't quite ready for such a magical potion, but it's sure fun to imagine! That would make Musical Men even more interesting! ;D
Dang, I miss BARF!
The fresh mint is what made the juleps so great! That and the company it was shared in. It was like Kentucky Derby Saturday with different hats!
And yes, Jack, you and Athena need to come on the same weekend. We can get Laird and the MCracks at the same time! :D
If Tennessee could survive all of us being in one place at the same time, Florida certainly can! :D
mmm, mint juleps!
I was fortunate enough to savor them - after hours of course :) - because Esc and Leinad made sure a bottle was stashed for me. YEA!!!
I wanna come, too! Let me know when next year, and hopefully, the Queen will play Musical Men at the tea that weekend.
Jack, we used to live in the British Virgin Islands, and if I never go to St. Thomas again, that will be fine with me. I went enough for 3 lifetimes, especially to buy baby formula, real milk, diapers, and medicine that wasn't pass the sell-by date by up to 2 years (what a novel idea!), and weaved through enough tourists to never want to see one again on a beach!
It was a 3 hour boat ride each way with an infant/ toddler, and I had to go every few weeks. Then got back to Peter Island with its view of Dead Man's Chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now BARF next year, that might be a possibility. Though it would have to be a toss-up between Cinqo dETTE Mayo and BARF. Yikes!
Lady Renee,
If you make it to BARF next year, we will play a game just for you!

Lady Renee,

Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm going to try to get there, even if we have to walk! ;D
I think I see the beginnings of St Molden's Day/MCrack Invasion, Take Two! ;D
I had a fantastic time this year and am already making plans for next year. It's already got me looking forward to this trip next March.
In the meantime, TNRF in 2 weeks!
Sorry I'm so late in posting this, but thanks for calling me up for the R/F photos at the end. The recognition really made my day.
Kathryn - what would a group photo be without you? giggle...... you are after all a part of this great group!!! And I think the funny face pic just rocks....giggle..!!!
This year was for sure a time to remember, sigh, did not get to hang out with everyone, but faire lives on in the many pictures that were captured by the majic boxes.
I find it very interesting living faire with how each and everyone sees it through the lens. All the pics contain a bit of the person who got the shot..... as they saw it..... smile...... memories..... giggle....

So it's done, then....a new BARF tradition!!!
Mint Juleps in the parking lot! And even more people to invade on St. Molden's Day....
With luck, they may have to look for a bigger site.... ;)
HUZZAH TO THE MINT JULEP TRADITION!
Now we have to find some real Kentucky hors d'oeuvres to go with it. :D
Sounds wonderful! You bring the horse derbies, and I'll bring the saddle! Wait... what? ;) :D
Glad to see everyone is looking forward to next season! Should be a fun one. I'm not personally a fan of Mint Juleps, but perhaps it's because I've never had a good one.
If you would like to begin a new topic to begin planning for next years St Pat's gathering please do so. Matter of fact I'll begin one for you . I'd like to bring this topic back to it's original intent of this seasons Tea with our Queen.

And at last...the long awaited GROUP PHOTO!!! A few friends were not there but wished to be, and you guys were missed. NoBill Lurker, Lord and Lady Caligo, Father Simon, to name but a few.. memories are like pictures, but captured in your mind forever, just like true friends are your angels on earth.

Kathryn (hugs) I'm glad you made it for the pic too.
Thanks agin to Ladyfair for working so hard to get us all together for these shots. I wish everyone could have been there, but I'm truly glad for those of us who came together for Tea and Peeps.
Haha.. would that be PEEPtures?!
