FRIDAY

Packed for the weekend and got the car loaded then worked with Leofwyna getting several boxes of rummage sale stuff sorted and priced for the April sale.  Met up with PJ and Diane to leave about 9pm to get on the road.  I hung my little flashlight on my right ear so I could embroider on the banner all the way down to KC and got a good little section of word done thereby.

SATURDAY

Didn't sleep very well; for once a motel heater worked all too well and about cooked us.  Free breakfast was orange juice and Belgian waffles; not bad at all!

Got to the Coronation site in good time to be well settled for morning court. 

During Their Majesties'  Maerwynne and Luther's final court Mistress Katrei Grunenburg (Companion of the Laurel, Chiurgeon General of the Society, Baroness of the Court of Calontir) was elevated to Pelican in a beautiful ceremony.  My goodness, she is a busy, busy Calontiri!  Duchess Phaedra was awarded a Cross with a dazzeling scroll created by Mistress Fionn ( evil_fionn) and written by Drix ( trimguy ).  And Mistress Elasait (elasait ) got Her Majesty's QED for courtesy... hurrah!

And as always the ceremony for Their Highnesses crowning was extremely moving.  But this time haveing both Martino and then Ariel elevated on sheilds was breathtaking!

The site for the coronation was lovely and considering the weather a much better choice than originally indicated but it was a trifle close with the numbers attending.  I settled myself with my embroidery and visited with those who came into proximity and missed out on many others who were there.

During troll we agreed we'd stay for feast.  This was a thoroughly Roman feast that was most interesting and flavorful but unfortunatly my tummy didn't handle it very well... too much acid which kept me from sleeping very well.  At the end of the day since there was lots o'snow we decided to stayover at the motel another night.

SUNDAY

KC this morning was full of pretty snow and ice frosted trees and bushes against clear blue sky... got home about noon back into spring-like weather.

This afternoon I caught up with e-mail, job search and did some more sewing my my new blue linen cote adding another line of trim around the hem which used up the last little bit of that particular trim.

Really wish I could have been at Coronation--ah well, some other times...

Yeah, sometimes you can go and other times you just gotta suck it up and miss things. This is the only one of three events I'd planned on going to this winter that I made it to. Being sensible can really suck!
