    Hi folks, just thought I'd drop a line and let you know I'm still around.

    My real is super busy, I started doing an occasional volunteer position and turns out is little more than full time now. lol Plus all the other stuff real deals us.

    Hopefully, in near future will calm down some.

    Plus, my internet decided to be a little dicey. Joy! Joy!

    I do try to keep connected by logging into forums and posting fun pictures now and than.


    You all have grand times in game and out of game.

    thinking about you guys lot.

    Lady Marjo von Wispfelt in Sosaria

    Lady Marjo von Wisperfelt in Sosaria,
    In her garden there stood a pear tree grand,
    And when autumn came round, the golden tide,
    And pears were glowing far and wide,
    Lady Marjo, when noon rang out, would first
    Fill both her pockets full to burst.
    And then, when a boy in his clogs came there,
    She called: ”My lad, do you want a pear?”
    She would hail a girl that chanced to pass:
    “Come over, I have a pear, little lass!”

    Many years thus went, till the noble and high
    Marjo from Wispfelt came to die.
    She felt her end. It was autumntide.
    Again pears were smiling far and wide.
    “I depart now this life” Marjo said.
    I wish that a pear in my grave be laid”.
    And after three days, from this mansard roofed hall,
    Lady Marjo was carried out, `neath a pall.
    All farmers and cottagers, solemm-faced,
    Sang: ”Jesus, in Thee my trust is placed”,
    And the children lamented, with hearts like lead:
    “Who`ll give us a pear, now that she is dead.?”
    So the children lamented. It was unkind,

    As they did not know old Marjo´s mind.
    True, the new one is skimping niggardly,
    Keeps park and pears tree `neath lock and key;
    But having forebodings, the older one,
    And full of distrust for her proper son,
    Knew well what she did, when the order she gave,
    That a pear should be laid in her grave.

    From the silent dwelling, after three years,
    The tip of a pear tree seedling appears.
    And year after year, the seasons go round,
    Long since a pear tree is shading the mound.

    And in the golden autumntide
    Again it is glowing far and wide.
    When a boy is crossing the churchyard there,
    The tree is whispering: Want a pear?”
    And when a girl chances to pass,
    It whispers: “Come here for a pear, little lass.”

    Thus blessings still dispensses the hand
    Of Marjo von Wispfelt in Sosaria.​

    I am also still around, online every day ever since I started. I would like to visit Wispfelt again, but can't find it. I have a character (Ian Macalver) with a house to place. I remember that Wispfelt is somewhere west of Britain, but that's about it.

    @Kishember - If I see you around (or you see me), I will happily take you there. Everyone should see the Wispfelt garden at some point!

    If you see me in IRC (Alex_Caember), just toss me a PM! :)
