THANKS!!

[Norfolk]

The Baroness and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our Minnesota RenFriends who made last weekend such a wonderful time.  We enjoyed every minute!  Very special thanks to Lord and Lady Spicer for their hospitality, and for introducing us to The Widow, the Queen Mum, and Uncle Vanya. 

Also, thanks to MG and Trish for making major adjustments in their schedules so that they could join us for a bit on Saturday. 

Minnesota is one of our very favorite Faires, and there is no question as to why that is so:  It's the people, stupid!

It was wonderful seeing you and the Baroness again!  I hope to make it out to Colorado next year.  Keeping my fingers crossed it works out for me 

[Ms Trish]

So very glad we were able to meet up with you however briefly! Glad you had a good time at our faire    Hope to see you again soon!

[Butch]

Please allow me to add my heart-felt feelings of gratitude!  This was my second visit to the lanes of (Shakopee).  Your grounds are just so big!  The weather was so very cooperative, great planning!  What was the deal with those motorized glider thingees at the end of the day?  They seemed to be circling.  Oh well. 

Nice to see the Baron and the Baroness, and was so very nice to learn a bit of their history that dove-tails so well with their faire personna!  It was a pleasure to get to know you both better, thank-you very much!  Gauwyn and Adele, as always, I could not say enough good things!  Thank-you for spending so much of your time accompaneing my own personal "non-tourage" through the lanes!  Auntie Giggles, I sincerely had hoped to be judged by your fashion police; oh well!  It was so wonderful to talk with you.  I don't know if I mentioned it on Monday, but I really loved your garb!  It fit you so beautifully, and you wore it like an ornament!  It was perfect!  Muffin, I beg your pardon for my mistake of chasing someone through the lanes thinking they were you!  I saw only the long blonde locks I remembered from last year!  So good to see you ever so briefly!  Kiss-me-Kate, maybe you'll allow me to get you something to drink some other time, eh?  Ah yes, SleepyArcher/Lord Fondlebottom was so nice to talk to!  I love the FOPS!  I did catch Sapphire Glade at the gate after closing cannon.  She was controlling her feelings quite well; it was as if she hadn't written anything on that other thread!  Lord and Lady Spicer, so glad to see you!  Only wish I had spoken with you more!  Finally, so sorry I was unable to catch MG and Trish!  I was so hoping to see you two delightful ladies once again!

If I left anyone out, please accept my apologies for the unintentional slight.  I must admit that I had a bit more alcohol than normal, and the day gets a bit clouded!  OK!  I'm certain I will see everyone again!  HUZZAH!

It was great seeing everyone!! 

No worries, Butch! It's not the first time someone has mistaken Mandy for me or vice versa! 

[Marietta Graziella]

Butch!!  I was so disappointed to find out that our schedules did not overlap during your trip to MN. You are always so much fun to visit with at faire. I hope to catch up to you another time.

Thank you Butch! 

I was sad we my Fashion Police group did not find you either.  Although we did have to deal with some drunks while we were doing our bit.  Which took sometime out of our ability to track people down.

We weren't that drunk     hehehe

[Butch]

Comte de Gilbert, I was looking for you guys too!  My personna is that of a sailor from Calais; Englishman on the French mainland!  I was hoping to talk of these gauche Islanders who have the indecency to drink from leather jacks!  It is the same as drinking from a boot!

[Lady Spicer]

Lord Spicer and I want to thank all of you for visiting MN! Our command of names is not always good, but we recognize the faces!

We met several new people and greeted many others!  We hope you'll all visit again

[gusjodi]

It was wonderful to meet you! 

[CelticOne]

Lady Spicer! I grabbed a picture of you and your hubby near the gate around 2:30 - 3:00 on the 4th! I was the one having issues with her camera. Alas I didn't see your R/F badge or I would have introduced myself...then again I was in mundanes(though I did manage to find my R/F pin) that day and wasn't recognized by a few from our group up here. My apologizes and I hope we can cross paths again. *looks at photos to be sure* Yep I'm pretty sure thats you guys, same garb as in profile pic.

It really is one of the most friendly faires I visit in terms of seeing the regulars there, and how much they love showing you around.
