Selfie . just after camp set up. This year I did things differently. Saturday, June 10th, I set up my camp and spent a day enjoying its wondrous sights and fun. Then visited high school friends for a few days before returning to the War. In the early evening, Their Royal Majesties Ashir and Ashland held opening court on the battlefield. Their focus […]
Ladies Christine and Aleit checking in people. Yesterday, I joined with many others to celebrate 12th Night in the Barony of the Lonely Tower. These winter festivities extend my New Year’s celebrations a week and enliven my dreary winter. This annual event jump starts Calontir’s event calendar, with its striking armored combat and steel fighting challenges. Populace watching the two fighting list […]
Baroness Lady Milada von Felsenhof Until 2010 this caring woman, Lady Milada von Felsenhof, was my SCA role model. Her memory still is. I met her in 1991 at a Lonely Tower summer revel. Besides her yummy pie for the pot-luck lunch, she brought bubbles for the children. She didn’t just bring them, she played with the children with them. I […]
Calontir‘s Lilies War is XXX. I spent five of its ten days enjoying wondrous sights and adventures. Sadly I could not do them all. Not in the day’s numbers nor the picture possibilities. I missed opportunities. Even so – even with the sweltering heat – I had the best of times. Arriving late I set up my camp then attended […]

Looking for class handout files on old DVD discs… I stumbled upon more SCA photos! It’s been ten years plus since the Barony of the Lonely Tower held this Spring Fling Event. It was so much fun! Camping, cabins, catapults, classes, cooking and court. Have a look. Do you recognize anyone? Is that you? Maybe it’s what’s their name? Are they […]
Court of TE Aleksandr and Roise, Barony of the Lonely Tower
This was the moment he most loved about tourneying, that first glorious sortie with banners streaming, trumpets blaring, and the earth atremble with pounding hooves as hundreds of knights came together in a spectacular clash of sound and fury. ― Sharon Kay Penman, Devil’s Brood Have you ever seen Medieval-style fighting? Recently I saw SCA warriors preparing, so they could soon feel the […]

With Throwback Thursday Christmas Eve, I went hunting for a photo of myself to post. It took some time because I have heaps of old photos. But, I found this… 1954 Christmas Photo This was taken in 1954. Yes, I remember it well. I’m wearing my new Christmas red robe with the bunny on the pocket. A traditional present for kids in […]
