Smooth and Satisfying Sunday

[Harriet]

Got photos of the quilt posted in Arts, Crafts and Needlework thread. Looking at my quilt photo from the venue, against a February photo of where I was in working on the top then (but in my well-lit sewing room), I can see that the lighting in the venue's space was very low. Oh well, maybe the photographer will have gotten a shot, or maybe the couple will help me hold it up in the sunshine, or maybe it's just as pretty in low light, lol.

HRH and I keep thinking of mini-stories and snippets of conversation to tell each other. I'm so glad to hear he had a handshake and conversation with groom's father, and they teased each other about having to become kin or something silly like that. I do want us to have relationship, and neither of these gruff men are the type to start much of one. Sigh. In short video from dbil, I now see that behind me, dd and HRH had decided to hold hands walking the aisle, the way they used to do when she was little. I've never thought of it and will have to ask dd if she'd seen that done anywhere or just wanted to do it.

Thank so much for all the kind thoughts. We're a little sad, of course. Getting a handle on being the two of us again.

The couple said they were coming by here today (newlyweds making plans - ha!) because her car was left in our driveway. I wish she'd bring us some cake or other fun things - they really had so many. Neither of us got a bite of cake, with so many people coming to our table to chat. And I heard it was raspberry lemon. Also, there was cheesecake, which I don't really need but gee ... .. Certainly not trying to contact them today, though.

Harriet: thanks for sharing the description of the day with us! And for posting the photo of the quilt. I love the colours and the design.

My day is going quite well. I got out for a short walk and moved the car back to the cottage and plugged in. I also sat on the dock for a bit and watched a storm blow in and over without it coming to anything. The sun is out fully now but it is chilly out so I'll stay in.

I read on the porch for an hour. Just an hour left to go with my book.

For the biggest bookkeeping challenge, I have one account left to update and then reconcile. And I discovered I had NOT paid one of the credit card bills I was reconciling. Normally I pay things quite quickly and then take months to reconcile but this bill got tossed in with the other paid bills. It is due on Wednesday so that was a dodged bullet.

I've been watching Dick Van Dyke shows while I work and will now do that for the last account to be reconciled. Then I'll heat up my dinner. After dinner, I'll finish the book and maybe chip away at the little things that need doing.

It's just 6:30 and the dishwasher is going and all the pots and pans and utensils are clean. Sink is shining. Plus dh and I both had a nap this afternoon. Just as I was falling asleep, he decided to join me.
