I know I said I'd be scarce this weekend, but I just wanted to stop in and see if anyone noticed the new, super-cute banner in the sidebar. This blog has just been accepted into Delightful Blogs! Thanks Lynda!
The wedding rehearsal and following outdoor pot-luck went well, in spite of being a little soggy. It absolutely poured from about 11am to 3pm.
Driving to the rehearsal, our windshield looked like this:
The outdoor party started at 6pm. Amazingly, it stopped raining and besides some very wet grass, everything was fine. The boys had an absolute blast playing with Bert's grandchildren (Ok, so now, when these two get married, Bert's son will be Am's stepbrother and so his kids will be... our boys' step-cousins? Wow! It's hard to keep track these days!) and everyone got a chance to catch up. Fun!
Since Bert's daughter-in-law and I were the only ones on kid duty, we spent quite a bit of time together at the sandbox and trampoline. It was nice to get to know the other daughter-in-law of the family better, and I was really interested to learn that they live in Seattle, one of the few cities we would ever consider moving to.
The clouds parted slightly, and a beautiful mist rolled in just before sunset. The result was amazing. I have never seen such a gorgeous summer evening!
Today the sun is shining, the birds are singing- It's a perfect day for a wedding!
And since I didn't get a chance to post it yesterday, here's my WIP for the week- Some more of the hand-embroidered wool felt tissue holders that everyone's been wanting!
Congrats on your delightful blog addition!
