Photo courtesy of Mergriet van Wijenhorst (Amanda Poirer-Kratz) This weekend was a pretty big weekend in my Laurel's group of apprentices.  My apprentice-brother, His Excellency, Baron D'Unstable Peregrinator, was made a member of the Order of the Laurel.  Our Laurel all gave us things to do as we could - so I volunteered to make … Continue reading Surprises, surprises. . .
