Went to my mom's house for dinner and dessert was YUMM!



 

10-23-20

Today was an important day.
I went on a hike with my former student, whom I shall refer to as Rocky. We walked and talked, and it turns out, she really likes Squirt, whom she went on a hike with just last week. It was quite interesting to think that they might actually become a couple.
But, he lives in Oregon.
So....

Want to see some of Dan's stained glass pieces?
I'm so proud of him for finding an artistic crafting hobby, learning it, and getting GOOD in one month!

Dan has been doing stained glass for the past month and he is quite good. We carved out a corner of the studio for him and I like sharing it. He is much NEATER!

This is is not a tray of cinnamon buns. But, I worked on making these items for a long time. Today I wedged them up. Recycled clay! It's a great batch.

This day we had dinner with Squirt and Rocky and Nana and Gwennie and I brought Gwennie this butter/cheese dish that I made.
Squirt and Rocky went on a hike beforehand -- where they met for the first time.
(Rocky is a geologist, hence her nickname. ) It was a lovely evening! A life-changing day for sure.
Squirt leaves tomorrow for Oregon. He's been home for several weeks, what with the wedding and the gallbladder surgery...

Need I say more?

Two days after the wedding, Squirt was in some serious pain. We thought it was his back. Eventually we took him to the ER and he was diagnosed with a sick gallbladder. He is in the hospital and had surgery today to remove it. We haven't slept much in days and Squirt has had a terrible time. So much worry. We hope and pray that all goes well. The gallbladder was dead and had probably been the cause of his back pain for many years.

This vase, Aza made in high school. It has two openings and so we called it the Mexican wedding vase. It was at her wedding!

It's rehearsal dinner time! The gang is all here and we are socializing outside to be safer from Covid.

People wear masks when they are in the house... for the most part.

Two days until the wedding! I'm making mints here... paddling the fondant.
And I picked up the flowers yesterday and have them in buckets in the office and started putting together arrangements. Dan's parents and siblings are arriving today!
