Timeline of Activity:

2012 Stepping out of Reeve office in August. Stepping into NR Exchequer soon after.

• Steppes 12th Night: Turpin and Elyssa. Stayed at Asoph and Michelle's. Asoph feast - very tasty.
• wInterkingdom: Lucet class. Not very polished, but I met some very nice Calontiri and sat with them at Feast.
• I received my Grant in February in the form of an Iris at Kingdom A&S, held in Eldern Hills. Presented by HRM Amelot (and bearing her token) in the presence of HRH Elizabeta. It was definitely a surprise, and a welcome one at that. I'd almost talked myself out of going to the event but came back around when a caravan was assembled, and anyway, I had bearded hats to deliver to Adena before Company of Wolves the following weekend (for a tribute to her dad). I got one ribbon from M.Michelle and one from M.Beorhtlic - the one Elisavetta had made for Aelfwyn, complete with a rockin' pin from Aelfwyn.
• Gulf War XXI: Turpin, Isolde, and I stopped by New Orleans on the way to Site and Turpin bought us hats from a street vendor. I ran the camp kitchen and was staff at Volunteer Point. (JP Land.) Octavia sammich ninja'd! I got my very own "flash mob" led by Nik when he hunted me down through Merchant's Row (on VP business) to give me a MOG Cog for running the kitchen. The Guard was so involved in playing "Weeping Angels" that they ended up attracting the attention of HRH Elizabeta, who had also been looking for me to give me one of her shmexy unicorn pins to put on my pretty rainbow ribbon! It was a good day to be me. :-)
• Adlersruhe's Lady of the Lake. Cooking competition. Our presentation was very simple but easily documentable: stewed meat, rice, tea. Our competition was a very elaborate, fancy (semi-documentable) meal: roasted chicken, bread, mead; and a mixed-medium hodgepodge meal: custard, bread, starters, something with bananas in it.
• Roswell with Shannon, the Swede, Charles, and some others!
• Triumphe VII - of the Apocalypse! Autocratting with Reis
• Coronation of Jean Paul II and Gilyan II Feast with Charles

2011 Reeve

• wInterkingdom: Bread class for kids!
• Gulf War XX: Emma ran the camp and Charles ran the kitchen. (JP Land) I got just short of 30 hours at Troll and Waterbearing.
• Sent my stuff to LPT, gained a son in Vailathai.
• Triumphe VI: Ran Waterbearing and Troll at the same time. I wouldn't recommend it. Haemon's feast went over VERY well. Court got interrupted by a ridiculous storm that knocked out some tents. I got a Thistle in Lampwork Beads and Charles got his Crane.
• Went to Adlersruhe's Passa des Armes with Karl and Toinette. Won their A&S competition. :-D
• Winter War Maneuvers: I had to miss it for my work conference. :-(
• Bryn Gwlad's Candlemas with Gilyan and Emma and Niki, staying at Pug and Myfanwy's
• Wisenfeuer Yule: Helped watch Adena's book at her Pelicanning. Highlight of my life: Carrying the Giraffe Rising Star in Adena's processional! :-)
• Award of the Province's Honor.

2010 Took over Reeve in January. Moved out of Fratopia in June. Moved into Fallinghaus.

• wInterkingdom: Weaving Solar
• Gulf War XIX: King Owen and Prince JP
• Went to LPT with JP and Gilyan (since they'd promised to go if the date got moved off Tourney Season).
• Triumphe V: Elyssa's Booze Feast!
• Winter War Maneuvers: Sammich Ninja

2009 On the tail end of being Seneschal. Fratopia. Started at FPP in October.

• wInterkingdom: Weaving Solar. First year.
• Gulf War XVIII: We shared space with Namron. We hosted the Northern Region Dinner. (Liliana coordinated the Land.)
• Triumphe IV: Charles Squired to Owen.
• Chemin Noir: Apprenticed to Beorhtlic.
• Winter War Maneuvers

2008 Seneschal. Moved into Old Frat in May, then Fratopia in June.

• wInterkingdom: Adalia's Knitting Class
• Gulf War XVII: Rode with Rhiannon and Toinette. Short War. Card Game.
• Triumphe III:
• Winter War Maneuvers: I think this is the year I fought. (I fought at the year of the Men of Scutum Calendar.)

2007 Stepped out of KM and took over Seneschal in July.

• Gulf War XVI: Took my white Lumina. It broke down one town before Site. Very traumatic.
• Triumphe II: Sabine, Isabella autocratting. Zorya running Archery.
• Winter War Maneuvers

2006 Moved in with Rhiannon in December.

• Gulf War XV: This was the second year we took Thirsty. (I think this is the year I helped Maggie with Land.) I had the Card Game going this year. It didn't fall on Spring Break. I was in the car following the bus, and that car's water pump seized on the way home. I spent two nights with Asric and Tim Hardin while the car (his grandmother's) was in the shop.
• Thirsty broke down in Namron on the way to Gothic in the late summer.
• Triumphe I: Feast Steward with Aline as my Second. That was the inaugural year for the Mooneschadowe Kitchen Party because Charles loves me and wants me to be happy.
• Blood of Heroes: The Damn Dirty Foreigners ride again. Magnus committed atrocities and Eirik got blamed for them.

2005 Knight Marshal, starting in July. Moved into Fighter Frat in May.

• Gulf War XIV: Cold War! Spent a lot of time at Troll. Green 6-person nylon from my parents. Charles was LDGC. We took Thirsty the Magic Shed (the Bus) to War. Mahdi was crown. I had the Card Game in full swing. I think this was the year I only brought flip flops for footwear.
• Guardian XXV: Charles autocratted. I was M.Maggie's Second in the kitchen. This was the year with the white sausages. Ollj, AnneLyse, Kat, and a handful of others stayed up late to get this done after Maggie blacked out. This was also the year when we had surprise Calontiri coming out of the woods in such numbers that Rhiannon wrote a Treatise on Poo to account for the rest facilities.
• Blood of Heroes: Return of the Damn Dirty Foreigners. I think this was the second year we brought the bus to this event. They'd told us the year before that we couldn't use the couches to block the goal post unless they had tabards, so we sewed couch covers with bulletholes so we'd be able to use the couches. They still argued that we weren't using the couches legally.
• Winter War Maneuvers: Shannon and Sarah were allowed to go with us because we had a Certified Canadian caravan driver following the Bus.

2004 (lived alone, no office)

• Gulf War XIII: JP's Knighting! Did a lot of Waterbearing. Double-long Army half-shelter tent.
• Guardian XXIV: Helped Mark von Mainz in the kitchen
• Blood of Heroes: Introduction of the Damn Dirty Foreigners. We had the bus and therefore List-Side couches, at the rural site with the tiny grocery store at the end of the road, and we bought steaks and kitchy Christmas mugs for the Feast of Meat.
• Winter War Maneuvers: Charles told me that girls don't go to this event. Shows what he knows. Bonnie went the previous year. I sammich ninja'd this year. I think we took the bus this year. Adena, Emmalina, Dani.

2002 (lived in Kerr-Drummond, did RHA)

• Gulf War XI: First War! Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. Army half-shelters in the Mooneschadowe Ghetto. The highlight of the War was chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire while I attempted to make grilled cheese sandwiches. We stopped by Gulfport to hang out on the beach for a little while - until we all got 2nd degree sunburns. Then we went to dinner with Ian's dad in Lafayette, LA.

2001 (lived in Kerr-Drummond)

• Ainar and Mercedes' Investiture, at Will Rogers.
