[MR] 12th Night

[Nikki Petersen]

Greetings to all,

As many of you know, I was in charge of the hospitality suite at this year's
12th Night.
What most of you did not realize is that I was ill (don't worry it's nothing
contagious!).
The reason that very few people knew this was thanks to those around me.

Albina- This wonderful dear friend spent countless hours helping me in the
kitchen, then spent almost the entire event at my side to ensure that things
went smoothly. Everyone should be graced with friends like you.

Estevan (Albina's Husband) & Symon (My Husband)- Thank you both for putting
up with two grumpy, tired women. Ladies I'm sorry to tell you but the good
ones have been taken! These men hauled, fetched, rubbed tired backs, etc.
with out complaint!

Mari- Sweetie the coffee drinkers of Atlantia thank you! We show up on site
only to find out the the pot we had brought to make coffee in was missing
it's cord. Mari didn't miss a beat, she spoke to the hotel kitchen and poof
we had an unending supply of coffee. For that and all of the other numerous
fires that never got a chance to start before you put them out, thank
you!!!!

Matt- Run, run, run, I don't think I saw you slow down the entire weekend.
Thank you for all your help and for all the laughter.

Ruby- Go Pack Go!!! Believe me that was a much needed stress reliever!!!

Cat, Meave, & Aibbin- Ladies I am proud to call you sisters! Thank you for
jumping in and helping, for the back rubs, and for the laughter and love, I
wouldn't trade you for anything!!!

Gracie- Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what I love to do! I
know you will understand when I say that I wouldn't have wanted to spend
12th Night any other way!!!

All Who Donated- YOU ROCK!!! Thank you for all of the unexpected treats! It
seems like every time I turned around there was something new and delicious
on the table! You all really stepped up! I thank you, and Atlantia's bellies
thank you!!!

Atlantia- Thank you for eating! There is nothing more that I love in the
world of the SCA then seeing people eating and enjoying food I have
prepared. Thank you for all of your warm comments, recipe requests, and
laughter & good cheer!

To everyone I listed and to those that my frazzled brain has forgotten-
Thank you for making my first 12th Night one I will never forget!
