I offically began the search for a new Goddess today. Been putting it off, because it just feels so strange.
Thing is, SHE'D have been all over me for putting it off!
And to anyone wondering, I've asked our first choice. Should she not be able/want to, I'll be open to suggestions.

Well, it's offical, Aubrey is our new Goddess. And I get the feeling Steph would heartily approve.

Someone asked me how Steph would feel about my announcing my retirement. Heh. She knew last year that this comming season would be my last.She'd been watching me go down hill for some time, and knew that I just barely made it through last year. She'd have HATED it, but she'd have understood Point of fact, the only real reason I'm going to attempt this year is in her memory. That's something neither of us ever saw comming. Hell, we'd discussed it often enough..........I'm a decade older and in waaay worse health. We just ASSUMED I'd go first. Never, ever even crossed our minds that she would! Sooooo weird, so unreal having it this way................. She'll be there, of course. The poet Kahlil Gibran ( hope I spelled that right! ) said in his classic book 'The Prophet' that....I'm ad-libbing here, so forgive me.....that 'a part of our soul remains forever, hovering over the places where we most enjoyed ourselves'. You just KNOW a good part of hers will be hanging around Faire. Especially when there's something nice in tights......................... Hey, some things never change!

Out shopping this past weekend and picked up a nice vase to put in the Grove along side Steph's picture. That way, anyone who cares to can place a rose ( or whatever flower you choose ) in it in her memory. She'd have loved that. Also found a nice, big glass mug to add to it in case people want to donate to the Memorial Garden fund.

I was surfing through the General Board, and when I came on this one, my first thought was "Even though I didn't know her very well, I should buy a rose for the Goddess' in Stephanie's memory this season." And when I saw your last post Dillasandra, I was like 'whoah'. I think it's a lovely idea. I wish you the best of luck with your retirement. I hope you enjoy this season with all your heart. We (cast) have big plans this year

Thanks. I'm looking forward to it, and to seeing all of you. That is, provided things work out..........see the Goddess/Grove thread.

She'd have been getting SOOOO excited by now. Counting down the days, and persisting in giving me daily updates on things I already knew. Fussing over her garb. Trying to remember where she put everything last year. Planning what to buy ( She saved all her Christmas/birthday/etc. money to spend at Faire. ) Polishing the life out of that sword of hers.
This is going to be SO damned strange without her.
Dog biscuits, I've got to remember to get dog biscuits. She always brought those........................
Damn, I miss you.
