Seventh Encounter of the Castle Kind

[jinx]

As if we need anything else to celebrate this weekend: I got my soul back today!    I turned my badge and discount card in at the Mart of Wals and am no longer a slave at their hands! 

Can't wait!

(Faire weather, no rain...faire weather, no rain!)

Mom (Lady Helen) has been baking up a storm for this weekend.
so far she has made oatmeal cookies, banana nut bread , banana bread (no nuts Lucy), chocolate chip cookies and she plans on doing the triple chocolate brownie with and without nuts.

Jinx no fair I want my soul back too. But I need insurance so I have fun making them bend over backwards for me. Gotta love being some what disabled. I've given them 14 years of my life. 15 years this Nov.

*swooooon!*

Ok, so now I have to bring milk AND cream cheese!!! 

[CapnFayeCutler]

Don't worry Papa Tinker, oil's getting changed tomorrow, and they fill up the washer fluid when I have that done. Should be good to go. I'll even throw in the first aid kit just in case. Flashlight, lots of blankets, we're all set.

So it's looking like 44 for a high on Sunday. Egads that's gonna be cold. Low of 41 Saturday night, high of 60. Rain on Sat, possible S-Word Showers on Sunday. I gotta remember to pack my coat now...

[Old Tinker]

Hmm, what about tire pressure ? very important when driving in the rain ya know dear ren daught, Capnfaye.

and our ren daught Capt Lucy, me's will add cream cheese by thy name on the list'ns.

My,  My windchime, sounds that thy mother (Lady Helen) will out-do herself from her last visit and offer'ns. me's will get all her contributions list'd.

dearest Ariyana, we shall add thy guest's and thy little princess. there has never been a work spoken of "NO" children. tis family friendly (some bawdy language mayhaps  , but noth'n more).

may all have there soul-guides travel along side of them, as we all migrate to the "Castle".

weather' Hmmm, Faire Weather- NO Rain, Faire Weather- NO rain, Faire Weather- NO rain
   ("now Tink, you know that thee must speed aloud for the mantra to work." Belle says)

Faire Weather- NO Rain, Faire Weather- NO Rain, Faire Weather- NO Rain
     ("much better my dear." says Belle as she pats Tinks back)

                        "Long Live Harry's Dream !"

i be the Old Tinker and his Belle...

Faire weather no rain, faire weather no rain, faire weather no rain!!!!

Gah, I'm so excited!

[Capt Lucy]

FAIRE WEATHER NO RAIN!!!  FAIRE WEATHER NO RAIN!!!


I'd be more excited if I actually fit into my garb

as of 11:45 am Friday
Not a bad lead in to the weekend today but conditions will start to go downhill through the weekend.  We'll deal with some clouds today but it will be mainly dry with temperatures getting close to 60 degrees this afternoon.  Clouds will thicken tonight and we could catch a shower or two but rain chances start to rise tomorrow.

The weekend looks wet at times especially later Saturday and into the first part of Sunday.  Showers will increase through Saturday afternoon with some storms a possibility tomorrow night.  We start Sunday with leftover rain showers and then colder air filters in with highs only in the 40s and breezy conditions.

Friday high of 60, 20% chance of rain, overnight low of 45. Saturday high of 60 breezy and a 70% chance of rain. overnight low of 40. which means plan to be dressed warm overnight and Sunday morning. Sundays high will only be 45!

I am wondering if people staying at the castle overnight and maybe even those just coming for the evening should be prepared with flashlights and such in case of power outages?

Chocolate bliss cake is baking... in a castle-y shape pan even! chocolate chip cookie dough brownies should be made later.. and hopefully some bread as well.

[Ariyana the hugging wench]

I want to thank Everyone for the wonderful time we had Saturday night. And of course first and foremost to Captain Humprhey!

To Tink and Belle for being so wonderful. To Jeff and Chris for the music to smile to! To everyone for the wonderful hugs and kisses!
It was great to see faces I have missed like Peter and Lucy (oh and to behold my Lucy glowing as she was!!) and to meet new friends and to put faces to names...
I hope everyone found thier way down to the kitchen for the castle shaped chocolate bliss cake or the chocolate chip cookie dough brownies... I did leave a plateful when we finally departed somewhere after 1:30. It was much harder to leave everyone than I had anticipated...
I hope it isn't too long before we can all meet up again!
Until then..

I too want to thank everyone for the welcome that Mike and Mona and I received. I was really nervous. I have to push myself to get out and meet people cause of my disorders.  Last time I came at Sarah's invite and she introduced us around. This time we met people ourselves. You all made us feel really welcome. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I had a wonderful time as usual.

Many thanks to all, as usual I cannot wait until the next one.

I will post a link to the Photos once I get them downloaded.

I brought back lots of memories, and seemingly a head cold as well. but it was a small price to pay for the fun had!

[LadyHawkeontheHill]

I concur, just not on the head cold thing...

[Angus]

I'll share the cold if you so wish... 

[humphrey]
