MISSED THIS YEAR'S "TWELFTH NIGHT"

     Ever since I attended my first event as a S.C.A "newbie"--last year's Twelfth Night--dressed  in borrowed garb, I vowed that this year I would attend wearing garb I made.
    What could go wrong? I had a year to finish it!
    Picked out a pattern, cut it out, sewed it with help from those more experienced on the sewing machine than I, and waited for the date and place to be announced.
     Everything was a "go."
    Except on one of those January weekends when the northeast had a horrific snowstorm, the plans I had made with my family to celebrate our own "Twelfth Night" was cancelled as they were driving from New Jersey to Virginia and the roads were treacherous. So, (you guessed it), they only open weekend for them was the one coinciding with the S.C.A.'s celebration and I had to cancel my plans to attend it.
    The good news is...I'm ready for next year...weather permitting.
