 I can't wait! I am ready to give thanks! Busy getting all ready here to  leave tomorrow! I hope this weather stays around for the weekend! Glorious!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Busy time! I am recovering from TRF withdrawal. But it was a good season! my weather spells were OK. I had a ball staying with Cat and Mike and Marianno! HUGS! Mike is now a Royal Computer wizard! He booted the nargles out of my system! Huzzah!I hooked it back up myself! It works! Huzzah! Cat and Marianno were my rRyal seeing eye guides after dark at TRF. I would have been lost without them! HUGS!
  Home to happy cats and moving 40000 plants undercover for the hard freeze!  Whew!
I did a local craft show last Saturday. Sold one wand! Sales were slow this year. Fie!  I plan on making the gathering at Sherwood- with wands and crystals too. Busy making My Scurvy new garb! He sure needed it. My evil twin is not much for sewing.

Glad to hear things are on the up and up for you Bonnie, and a belated happy Thanksgiving to you. 

I'd love to make a visit to Sherwood and visit your booth. You make such lovely things!

[Queen Bonnie]

 OOPS! I won't have a booth at Sherwood! They are having an informal bazaar at the Dec 12th  Sherwood gathering. I will bring stuff then. I am hoping for a shop to consign my things there. I love making wands crystals and staffs- but not being stuck in a booth selling them and no $$$ to open a shop by myself.I will be there as a volunteer walk around character- working for tips!
Sorry for the confusion! Hugs Anna! Things were great- going to faire always is a happy time. The upcoming holiday has me down though. Not a big fan. I still have Halloween stuff up! Deck the halls with bats and spiders! HO Ho!

Well still trying to get things back in order. We have to replace the Wiper motor on the old Burb.... Always something! Hauling horses to track early tomorrow... and to swim again on Fri.... May have a race soon... need to have the shoer out now..... Had hoped to make it to sherwood with you but I think things are still to nutty here to go anywhere! Glad you had fun this year...I sure did. Well off to do more stuff!!!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Hugs Cat! I understand! drat. Where do you swim your horses? Now there is a 20% chance of rain on Sat. Another weather spell is needed! Getting out potions cauldron!
Perhaps you can come out for a weekend when faire opens? Keep it in mind!
The Royal felines are so happy I am home and not on the go! They are getting spoiled rotten!

We all know you meant to say "They are continuing to be spoiled rotten!"      

Glad you're going to be able to sell some of your hand-made treasures at the Bazaar.


Take Care,

Well we worked Homey today alone and he did FABULOUS! A 38.6 @3f  was the 3rd fastest time of 12 horses... but rated 6th due to 4 having the same time.... Not bad for barefoot and in MUD!  We have the vet coming out Thurs or Fri and the farrier coming Mon... If all goes well we will get the next work Tues or Wed.... and swim him again mon afternoon.....and enter him to run for the 19th.... But this weekend we have MUCH to do!  But I hope the weather stays good for your gathering... Work a good weather spell!!!! NO eye of rain frog!!!!

[Queen Bonnie]

 You are right David! The spoiling never ends here!
Great things are going well with the horses Cat!   Exciting to have a race so soon!
Hoping the weekend weather is good !

[C Dragonworks]

Looks like your Weather potion may not work... they are forecasting rain,cold and more rain for the weekend.... I hope they are wrong about Sat... good luck at Sherwood gather and have fun!!!! Sorry I can't make it...but even if I wanted to you don't need to be around a SICKY!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Sending you a get better fast spell Cat! POOF!!!<<<<
Awful time to get sick.
I work up with another migraine so laying low today myself. Ouchies!
My vision goes down to nothing.
I guess I will see what tomorrow afternoon looks like. I Sure would like to go to Sherwood! PUn.

[Queen Bonnie]

 The weather yesterday was not great. Cold and drizzle. I did not go to Sherwood. Drat. I hope there is a gathering next month and the weather is better!
I used up all my good weather spells on TRF I guess!

[Taffy Saltwater]

Those migraines are nothing to laugh about.  Hope you're all better.  Maybe let the weather spells rest a - spell? - and send them forth again when you have another gathering.  Luvvies to your fur babies & you.

[Queen Bonnie]

 The migraines hurt- but cut down my already horrible vision.
I am better! Thanks Taffy! I will rest- a spell!
The universe is a strange place.You never know what it will give you. A curse or a blessing.
Last PM my neighbor was over helping me install weather stripping on my front door. I head a cat in distress- LOUD meowing- and it turned out to be a tiny 8 week old kitten. She marched right in and took over Meow manor.Ate everything in site and proceeded to charm me and love me. The Royal Felines are mildly miffed- but OK. After being sick in the kitchen all night- Kitten poop- ugh!-I took her to the vet this AM.  Lots of meds and $$$-but she will be OK. Now I need a name for this cutie. Aida was playing on the opera channel when she arrived. The kitten is a brown tabby with Egyptian markings and spots down her sides and tummy.  Very regal- short hair. I am toying with several names- but liking- Aida, Amneris, Nuri- means Gypsy in Egyptian- and a few other names- Solstice?  Nothing has stuck yet.

[Anna Iram]

Oh Bonnie how sweet! A Christmas present sent from the angels, and I like Aida. It means "visitor" or "returning" as taken from the Wiki.


Aida (sometimes spelled Aïda, pronounced /???i?d??/ ah-EE-dah, from Arabic: , pronounced [??a?jdah], an Arabic female name meaning "visitor" or "returning") is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni, based on a scenario written by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette. Aida was first performed at the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo on 24 December 1871, conducted by Giovanni Bottesini.
