"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Well done!

Looks like that was taken near where I live.  :D

Sir James, yes it is.  I just got it recently, put the order in a couple months ago.

Thorsteinn, how close are you to Isabella E?  She puts the finished banners on the same pole and snaps a pic...this one is of mine.

Sir Brian, wherever Isabella lives!  And thanks to all...now I just need somewhere to put it- due to it being silk, it is at its best in the sunshine, not on a wall (where it currently is lol).

She's about 550 miles SE of me around Kingman, AZ. It looks to be near enough to High Desert conditions there.

I thought it might be since the colors match yours, but the background of the picture really threw me off. Congratulations on the new acquisition. :)

Excellent banner, Sir William.  Background in photo looks like the Waco, TX compound slightly. lol  ;D

Thank you, Lord Dane...if that were so then my banner is appropriately placed as I would be besieging them.  lol

Well..if you happen to have a siege crew & Trebuchet available, let's test it out for distance. I'll lay down close support with a Ballista & we'll do some Crusader-like manuevers.  It would be more impressive than the heavy tank armor driving through the doorway & through the walls used in 1993 by the Feds.  That certainly went well for them.  ::) Light the greek-fire!!!!
