The Voice of a Friend

I didn’t realize that I was anywhere near “the dumps” emotionally today. Then I got a call from, Ismay, a good friend in Darach. It was so good to hear her voice and I am in such good spirits now that I feel like I must have been in the dumps before.

Emails just aren’t the same as hearing a friend’s voice. Of course that is not the same as being able to get a hug from a friend, but I’ll take a phone call any day!
Anyway.We gabbed about stuff going on at both ends. They, the fair folk of Darach, have been repainting the shire war cart that Bob helped build once upon a time and discovered that when Bob’s device was painted on the war cart (as was everyone’s who helped) a leg was left off of the dragon. So now Bob and I are thinking of calling our household, “The Inn of the Three Legged Dragon.” Hmmm… wonder if we can get that past all the usual heraldic hurdles? Our new storm door has a spot for a brass name plate that would be perfect to display that name. ‘Course it may have to be “Three Leged dragon Inn” or something similarly shorter. I have several pithy signs and illuminations running through my head now. All sporting a three legged beastie. LOL!

After talking with Ismay, I REALLY want to go to Estrella next year and wish even more that we could do Lilies this year. Sven and Kolfina are going to be there. Need to get serious about planning to make it happen! (after I finish planning lesons. Oy!)
