i’m going to make an effort to download those photos. i’m not even sure where kevin’s camera might be, which is where all the pictures are.
i took video. three hours worth! we’ve watched more than half of it.
today…another lovely fall day. warm and sunny and beautiful.
the problem now is that we keep losing things. i just found out that i lost one of my favorite cookbooks. it’s called “make ahead entertaining” and i’ve had it for years and years and it’s by this old couple named mable and gar hoffman. i don’t usually know that much information about something, but i’ve looked at it enough to have memorized their names. there’s a funny picture of them somewhere on the book, and they look cheerful and very midwestern. their whole wheat herb cheese bread is scrumptious, even though i haven’t made it in a very long time.
there’s a bunch of other stuff we’ve lost, too, more serious things, because i’m sure i could find that cookbook on amazon in less than a minute.
hey, we saw “cats” on wednesday night and it was great, and i’m going again tonight. randy is bustofer jones, and he’s really funny. he comes in from the back of the theater and gives out his card to members of the audience. dad thought his costume was the best of anybody’s. dad really loved the show, too, by the way, which is unusual. dad is pretty critical.
i’m wearing something more comfortable to the show tonight. on wednesday i wore my new FABULOUS dress i got in hawaii, and a big flower in my hair that i bought at the airport in Kauai right before we left, and these very very spiky tall green heels that randy gave me for christmas last year or the year before. he gave them to me to go with a lovely green skirt and sweater, and i was actually thinking of wearing that outfit tonight but then i said to myself ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? because kevin won’t be with me to drop me off at the door and any amount of walking at all in those shoes is way too much.
i need to wear them sometime when i’ll just be sitting. or lounging.
tonight, sensible shoes.
here’s a photo from the day after the wedding, the lovely and delicious brunch at amy and jim’s house. i wish i had some of that food right now, as a matter of fact. kevin has foil on his head here. i’m not sure why he has foil on his head. i was pretty out of it the morning after. also at the table are paolo, kelly, christine, and bev.
and here’s the backup cake. i had planned to buy a backup cake, but then at the last minute decided i had PLENTY of free time to make a backup cake. so i did that, and i wasn’t going to decorate it. but then i made so many flowers that i had all these leftover, so i put them on the backup cake and it sat right next to the other cake and amy started cutting it when the big cake was being cut, so it was all eaten but there was quite a bit of one of the carrot cake layers left. a good thing, because then we had plenty of leftovers.
damn, i’m going to go look for those hawaii photos now.
i keep thinking about hawaii. i wishe we could go back really soon. but there are other trips we’ll take, but we’ll go back.
ok ok ok,
saturday grace.
