"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."

Really wanted to get down this year since by brother is living in Columbia, SC about an hour or so away, but doesn't look like it's happening.

A bit of incentive for folks to come on the 14th: If all goes according to plan, my squire may be receiving a public knighting by myself and the assembled Fiatians right smack in the middle of the faire! Is it a safe assumption you guys'll be there all day?

Absolutely! I would be honored to bear witness to such an event.

Excellent! My squire and I would be honored by your attendance, and I'm fairly certain the fairegoers will get a kick out of it, too! If all goes according to plan, I'm hoping for around noon or so, though times may change to suit schedules. Stay tuned!

Most excellent. I'll try to have the camera handy. We're hoping to drive most of the way down there on Friday, so it should be possible to get an early start on Saturday.

So far the weather report for the weekend down at CRF looks good.

*keeping fingers crossed*

Yeah, I looked at a report this morning for CRF that said 72 and 73 degrees, partly cloudy to sunny, all weekend! I'm tempted to wear my 14th C armor all weekend. I definitely gear up tomorrow, but we'll see how I feel on Sunday. If I do wear the armor twice, I may leave the shield and helm in the car on Sunday and let the hair be free and the shoulders light of weight. :)

Just a quick update on the knighting - it's looking as if we may do the cermony in front of the Faire instead of inside, as some wish to attend, yet can't afford a ticket. Either way, I'll be both inside and out, so feel free to keep an eye peeled for the red and white!

Well, I'm back from CRF. What a great weekend, and I'm tired. :) I'll post some pictures soon.

It was great to have a chance to meet Sir James and several of the other Fiat Lux knights, including witnessing the knighting on Saturday! It's a shame NC is so far away. It took us a good bit of the day today to get home, even with driving about 2 hours of it last night.

And it was of course nice to see our forum friends there as well!

It's hard to believe another faire season is drawing to a close.

Photos are on my website now. I added a selection to my 2009 faire page and the whole batch off the camera in it's own page:
