Fare Thee Well

All the fun has been had
All the friends are gone
All the food has been eaten
Where has the time gone?

The walls have been rammed
The soldiers lay slain
The town is in ruins
The people complain

The fields are churned mud
The Mines are destroyed
The timber is cut as the clay clods
Don't pretend to be coy

The sun shines down
On my patch of Snow
I shall Patrol it no more

This poem is in tribute to the tribe that just died on Tribal Wars. Sigh.

Other than that I had a fairly good weekend. I went to my Mom and Dad's and got two items done. (Well except for the clasps) One was the bog coat which really is a robe but it is getting thrown into the bog coat classification anyways. The second is a cloak I would love to keep for myself except for two things. (Well one very important one anyways!) The first there is a small flaw in the material in the hood of the cloak (I could easily live with this) The second reason is that I made it too small (Waaaahhhhhh!) It is exactly my colours and Raven when you see it you will agree! It is that light gray/ medium gray Clinton style cloak with the Green Griffon trim. It is warm and comfy except for the whole too small for my shoulders bit. Grrrr! I guess someone else will just have to love it. Sniff!

Oh one thing that amused me was that as I walked into the sun room at the farm I saw a jacket with a zipper lying on it. I took the hint and replaced the zipper for my Mom. After all it is Mother's day today and it was the least I could do to repay her vast kindness in letting me come out there all the time. Also since I had replaced two zippers the previous two times I had been there I could not plead ignorance in that area of expertise! Though I will state that I am not a professional. Just competent!

So yes unlike last year I had a much better Mother's day this year. The best is that Hubby found me a gift that I like a lot better than chocolates or flowers (though the chocolates wouldn't have hurt). He got me a graphic novel of the Anime that I have been currently watching. Hehehehe. I love my husband. Now if only he would do the dishes....
