What a wonderful Lilies War - I threw all the things, I shot arrows from the Fyrdraca, I fought with (beside and opposite!) Otmar and Melchor, I made a spear point with Reece Reinhart's forge, I sang, I even danced (shh, nobody at Lilies saw it) and had such a good time with so many friends. I laughed, and smiled - at Three Rivers Players I laughed and smiled so much my face hurt. I am still smiling now. -Hirsch

On Thursday of Lilies War, the Huscarls joined the us at the Fourth Company Tournament on the battlefield. Before the battle begin they announced how much they appreciate us and all that we do for them. Then they unveiled the surprise. The most beautiful shirts were designed for us, a Lady with period jugs of water and a pot of soup walking up with a smile, ready to offer her hospitality to all who are in need. She looks like a goddess. The Huscarls gave each of us a shirt. Then the spoiled us with a table full of fresh fruit, sandwiches, veggies and cake. Thank you all for making us feel so very special. It brings tears to our eyes just thinking about it. HUZZAH!!! to the Huscarls!

I had a great time at the Lilies war. I was surprised to have so many take my flax class since it's a little out of my box. Thank you all who took it. Packing went smoothly, but was grueling in the heat. Big thank you's to Grannamer Sin, Dori the leather lady, Furi, Randolf, Talia, and all else who helped set up or take down. So, made it safely home for a 3 hour nap before going to work for a regular 8 hour shift, came home and crashed for 8 hours and then mowed the unloading areas and unloaded laundry, garb, fence-hurdles. I had Nate let Axle out and he came racing down by the truck where I was and high fived me. He then jumped into the back of the truck where it took a bit of coaxing to get him back out. Once back out I harnessed him up and we unloaded and haled stuff around to put it away. I am anxious to finish post war packing and start working on next years projects.<

I am still thinking of all the fun I had at Lillies. It was the longest I have been away from my family in a long time but there was so much to do I stayed busy.

Thinking back I think one of the coolest things came at the end. Apparently during the 8 day stay at Lillies one of my tires went flat. On the way out I was stopped three times by people telling me it was flat. One of them did not even know me.

I stopped at the first gas station and put air in my tire. I have not had any problems with it since.

To the Outlands fighter called Roland: I just want to say a hearty Thank You for fighting for Maeva (our daughter) in the Children's Tournament on Friday.</span>

Thank you for the war. Good job izzy with the kidos. Thanks you glass working guild, Marshals, and the rest of staff.

-Henry

Just a simple thank you for an awesome time at Lilies War. It was my first and just simply amazing.

Oyez oyez oyez: These are your morning announcements..  

For the love of god, don’t let your dogs crap on the list field. Some fighters insist on falling to the ground when they die, and they do not enjoy residual amounts of dog crap on our fighting clothes even after you “cleaned it up well enough”. I speak from personal experience… Yeah….</span>

There will be a class held this afternoon on the lilies war metabolic effect. Explaining why you haven’t been eating as much for the past 10 days and how you managed to live just fine. </span>

Gentles are reminded to work slowly on reintegrating into normal life, half strength Gatorade, pickles, and camp food are easy ways to help get you back into the vibe.</span>

Please don’t smoke in the porta johns. That’s pretty disgusting and for the love of god I hope you wash your hands when you are done with that. Your lungs will live just fine on normal air for that long.</span>

My girlfriend and I went to our first Lilies, and we had a fantastic time in spite of the terrible heat. We're looking forward to coming out again next year!

Had an awesome Lilies again this year even if we did have to leave </span><span class="aQJ" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">Friday</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;"> after fireworks instead of </span><span class="aQJ" style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;">Saturday</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;"> afternoon. We did have one surprising revelation though: Last year the road along the archery field had huge rocks making it difficult to walk on BUT also forced the car traffic to go really slow should they damage a vehicle. This year the rocks were gone and we had a huge problem with cars going at a much faster rate of speed down the road, even though walking was much easier. Made us quite concerned as there is a large number of children during archery, etc.</span>

I want to thank all who made my first war awesome! Thanks to everybody at camp who welcomed me and made me feel like I was a part of the family. Thanks to everyone who ran the thrown weapons range and those who threw with me. The novice throw was a blast! Thanks to the individuals at the archery range who were willing to talk with me about learning how to shoot. I am so excited about all things SCA that are in my future!</span>

I would like to thank all those who volunteered in the consultation tent at Lilies this year. You made being in charge a piece of cake.
