Following Orders

[Sir William Marcus]

It sounds as if everyone had a great time, one could only wish he could of attended.  We did wonder where princess Brynn was during the festivities, and now we know.  One couldn't of left the fortress in more capable hands.   Its is also somewhat amazing too that more interest was sparked with the ATC.  Safe returns to the Carolinas for Sister Hatchet, Lord Scott and the boys,  and 'hats-off to Lord Blakeduke for welcoming our fellow brethren into his realm with open arms.. Huzzah!

Before venturing, Princess Sarah of McCordia wanted me to thank everyone for the Natal Day Wishes. She enjoyed your kind words immencely.  And if I may share a few off-topic images of her enjoying some of her Natal request....



Horseback riding lessons. For a father that has spent many of hours in the saddle it was an absolute joy to see her solo on a trustworthy steed.

Heading course for Acre. She also took the helm by herself for the first time





It strikes me funny because the only thing I had to float on at her age was an inner tube. It won't be to much longer she and will be helping dad out on the water

Almost forgot, it was good to see Templar Jesse (even though he was dressed as a scullywag) in attendance with his friend who suffered from that most unfortunate ATV accident.  Welcome back brother!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Awesome shots of the Princess, Brother William. I fear that the horse will push Lady LeFay over the edge, since she's been wanting to get one for Brynn for years now.

Yes, Brother Jesse appeared to be a relapsed heretic in his "piratical" attire, but at least I can now place a face with the poster. He promises pennance for it, and should be reappearing shortly in more appropriate attire.

Let it be known that Lord Scott does review our posts here, and looks for all the historical data, so we're getting around! Deus vult!

And just in case he reads this, and I know for sure Sister Hatchet will:

IT was nothing short of great meeting everyone yesterday! WM, i was wondering if you would care if i add the two group shots, to my myspace?

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Feel free to.

TJ....I need to approve those pictures before posting on MySpace....unless of course you were able to capture my natural "glow"  Warrior Monk failed to mention that had it not been for my keen eyesight and preternatural senses, your group would of gone unrecognized!



My only GARF regret was that you could not join us Brother Marcus, it would of completed the merriment, errr, I mean, assembly.  Belated birthday tidings to your beautiful daughter!  One need not look far for manifestation of the Goddess!

Warrior Monk, I fear that all your conversion efforts (I was served with authentic excommunication papers within minutes of arriving within the walls of Fair Haven!)  have backfired!  It seems that all vestiges of the exorcism conducted by Brother Marcus have fallen away and I have returned to my "au naturel" state!  Blesssed Be!   

Unfortunately my young and impressionable squires have not faired as well....I cannot seem to interest them in any other playthings besides the Templar and Hospitaller Knights figurines generously given to them by Warrior Monk....such treachery!

Thank you for the kind words.  I truly wish I could of been there.

Children, they do have stronger immune systems, than those of us advanced in age and experience. I am so glad I saved them!

Sister Hatchet requested that I clarify the nature of one of the photos, so I've tried to convey the theme as clear as possible...

Priceless Warrior Monk.....that is exactly what I said!

Hey what am i chopped Liver? I wish i had got there in time to meet everyone outside the gates

[BLAKDUKE]

I also wanted to get a Papal shout out  (let me hear it Brothers....DEUS VULT!) to the Blakduke. The wandering King is in a league of his own, and wants it known that he welcomes the Warrior Monks of the Orders in his Kingdoms....yes, he's that awesome...he has several!

I appreciate the kind words, my brother, if I may be allowed to call you that, for though I am not a Templar in the flesh, I share the heart of them all, and know full well that when they visit any Kingdom I reign in, that we are fully protected from any and all foes. 

That said, Count Adolpho is planning a visit memorial day weekend and although I have not mentioned it to my better half,  I am thinking of visiting at least one day of that weekend to visit with my friend the count.  Mayhap if all works out well per-adventure we may combine travel
and go up together.  Unless you are planning on staying the weekend.  I think I will be only able to go one day.  I may wear the title of King, but only with the Queens permission( you all know how that plays out).       

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

This may be a plan. I'm trying to get a few more of the lads here to join me. Currently you know of my travel demands. I was planning on trying to make the TNRF this year, if Frere Mikael was able to attend. I am awaiting word from him on this. May 23-25th seems reasonable as a plan for me at the moment, but I'm at the beck and call of my active duty family, should they require my services before they depart.

We wouldn't stay the weekend, and we is Lady LeFay and the Princess this time, for I was chastised by a five year old when she saw us pick her up in our garb, and she realized where we'd been....

I shall keep my fingers crossed.

[Femme Falchion]

and just to assure all the Brothers on the thread that I continue my good works.....



not even the mightiest are spared.....
