Was preceded by a visit from Scott - now living in West Virginia. We had a great lunch followed by homemade apple pie and ice cream - hence, the expansive smiles from him and Annie!
He brought me a 30 lb watermelon and the Art the (Yard Art) Chicken. Art is now in residence on my desk at work and has the job of making everyone who sees him totally forget the problem they walked in the office with. I love him:
Friday began with a super important meeting (went so-so) and was followed by my going downtown to give a workshop to a bunch of science folks.
I don't know if it was the great lunch or good presentation or both, but the participants really enjoyed it. It was then a quick change from professional clothing to summer dress as I headed to a wedding in Rockport.
I got stopped for my out of date registration sticker by the Rockport Police! He felt very bad about the fact that he just crashed my elated I-just-finished-giving-a day-long-workshop-and-am-headed-to-a-wedding-mood...so, he personally escorted me to the pavilion. Maybe I can still talk to the judge and get out of the ticket. The wedding was fabulous -- outside, with the beach in the backround, many friends on a short guest list. I felt truly blessed to be there. Some of my dearest friends and of course the bride and groom:
Saturday morning, I got a call from Annie - who wanted to come over and talk to me. A bit unusual as we usually head to breakfast, she bopped on over to show me this!
Yes, she is OFFICIALLY engaged. Super happy, super elated, and so am I. I am absolutely smitten with her beaux who is a jet pilot for the Navy, and know they have a wonderful future in store.
Saturday night another bunch of very good friends celebrated the birth of a new grandson at an awesome baby shower -- fresh grilled fajitas, lots of friends and great conversation. The baby, a whole three weeks old, even enjoyed it!
Upon my return from the shower, Audrey joined me for the night so that her Mom and John, her sweetie, could attend a costume party which, coincidentally, marked the unveiling of her ring (I will not show John in costume...suffice to say he was a VERY good sport about dressing up as a superhero :)
I love this picture -- this is one happy superhero!
Sunday was wonderful mass at the Cathedral followed by service work downtown and much conversation with family and friends.
I caught this sunset at the end of the day. I felt so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends in my life and this seemed to be God's seal of approval:
