Nothing to say?

Every time I have sat down to post to anything lately, I find myself at a loss for words. Well, I guess that isn't exactly true--I am seldom at a loss for words. But I haven't had anything to say that I felt was worth the effort to type out. Not just here but on various lists that I am on. I just don't feel like saying anything I guess.

Last weekend I drove the kids over to Godric and Margaret's for a workshop day (SCA) and Sunday we went to youth fighter practice. It was good--but strange without Jossil. We will go to fighter again today. There is a tourney on the 28th. They have decided to have it as a memorial to Jossilyn. It was the tourney she won last year.

So Kaleb will be fighting and since he had not been to practice since Jossilyn went into the hospital in January, he needs to get some in before the tourney. The last one he fought in was at Birka, the weekend Joss became sick again. He was second in his division and the boy who beat him has been fighting many years more than Kaleb.

It is very quiet without Jossilyn--something we have all noticed.

We did not go to SCA dance practice last week, but will next Sunday. (It is every other week.) I think that will be harder for me than fighter without Jossil . She loved to dance like nothing else--except sing.

With the event coming up Kelsey and I have been sewing new garb. We have also registered to go to the Pennsic War this summer. Two weeks requiring garb! We have lots of sewing to do. Kaylin and Josie will probably not go with us, but we are planning on taking them to some other smaller events. As long as the weather is accomodating.

We are thinking about getting a puppy in time for Josie's birthday. We have been wanting one for a few years now. Jossilyn's diagnosis and treatment made it impossible. Before she relapsed in Jan. we had decided to get one. (Josie loves dogs.) Then of course, when the cancer returned we were back looking atno dog until a least a year post-transplant again. After much consideration, I have decide to return to our original plan.

It's nice to see your post...
I think it's good you're dipping back into SCA though I know it will be a mix without Jossilyn there too. I think a tourney in her honor is a lovely tribute. Hope you are taking care.
