generally for tea. I love pancakes and will be having mine for breakfast -
and possibly again for tea. Even though I'm still not well there's no way
I'm missing out on my pancakes. Nice. I'll deal with any repercussions as
they arise. Ok - on with the show, which includes a cute new story by one of
my favourite bards. See you next weekend.

- Centerpiece
Scrolls - Xena Unites The World by the CXG and Friends and Greek
Translation by Pany on Mary D's site
“Xena Unites The World”. That’s the theme of our centerpiece. It means
that, without Xena, we would never have met, a group of people from
different sides of the globe. It’s an homage to our friendship and to fans
all over the world. The title is written in English and Greek on the top of
the two arches that “cover” it. The centerpiece depicts Xena and
Gabby’s travels around the world, when they “visited our countries and
hometowns”. The base is the world (and we had no queries making it flat,
since those two travelers believed it was), the black lamé material
surrounding it and covering the arches represents the sky/the cosmos. Xena
and Gabby’s footsteps can be seen all over the map, going from one town to
the other. On each location stands a flag and from it a ribbon leads to a
tableau depicting that particular town or country (each member contributed
with tiny little things that would stand for their home-town). Hanging near
the tableaus, down the side of the base, there are “Gabby scrolls”
telling people about X and G adventures in that particular town (each of the
group members had their ideas developed into short-stories, which were then
written on the mini-scrolls).

that will be challenged by Kelly's past. Will Pat be able to forgive Kelly
for not telling her all of the truth?
