Wedding stuff. Not ours for once!

There is a lot of wedding stuff going on in my life at the moment. We’re under the 90 day mark and it just occurred to me today that I actually have to investigate getting our marriage license. Also, I have a ton of work to do on the sheet music for the choir. Yay?

Greetings from Huntspatch… er, I mean Huntsville

It’s hard to believe that my trip is already over and I am heading back to Boston tomorrow morning.  I have been pretty busy with everything going on with the family.  It was good to see everyone, and it was good to have the chance to see some of my friends that I had not seen in several years as well.  Wow, so much has changed in just three years.   Anyway, I managed to take some photos.

I love cashmere

Those of you who know me know that I refer to the cold part of the year as Cashmere Season.  (The hot part of the year is Involuntary Sweating Season.  I hate that part, thank goodness it is almost over.)  I have even gotten Geoff into some cashmere sweaters.  Naturally, I never pay full price.  Paying full price is for suckers.  Regular readers around here also know that I get daily emails from Etsy.  This little gem popped up in my inbox the other day and I just didn’t know what to make of it.  Especially in AUGUST.  Who advertises this in August???

The closest I will ever get to owning a restaurant

Those of you who are regular readers know that Geoff and I love food.  We love to eat it, to cook it, to bake it.  We have more cookbooks than we have room to store them.  Sometimes I think this blog is in danger of becoming a food blog.  Or, at least, a blog about our favorite restaurant.  Ahem.

Kittehs in love

Of all of our furry children, Bucky (Buckminster Charles the III), is probably the most personable.  He loves people, is always around to greet newcomers, and can often be seen sitting in the window.  Years ago, when I lived on Beacon Hill in an apartment with a completely enclosed courtyard, he was often known to not only go window to window and visit my neighbors, but also to leap vertically to the second story and sit on their window sills to make his presence known.  He has always been very smart, an amazing athlete, and on top of everything around him.

Kevin Smith is another dachshund lover? Who knew?

I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised to see that Kevin Smith is apparently a dachshund fan.  He owns a short-haired mini named Shecky.  I am a fan of his work, and I have owned dachshunds forever, and yet I never knew he had a dachshund.
