We're back from Vermont where we attended services for my brother in law. The weather held during the outdoor ceremony at the cemetery, and the rain that did fall during the reception and then the gathering at their home was light and intermittent. I figured that was my brother in law letting us know he was right nearby with us all. There were lots of people, friends and family I did know and some I'd seen before, and a few were new to me, but we were there with the same desire: to recognize my brother in law's effect on us all and to celebrate his life. It was a good day.
The rest of the day will be spent packing for tomorrow's trip. We're going to try for one suitcase and a carry-on for each of us. Southwest is the airline we'll be flying, the ones who advertise that they won't nickel and dime us for things that they should provide free. It remains to be seen what they do offer us for the cost of the fare. I'm not bringing a laptop with me so this will be the last post until at least Sunday evening. I'm sure those of you who read this will be fine in the interim and will hardly miss my pearls of wisdom. ;-)
Yesterday I moved a few steps closer to completing my pendant, but there are more steps left so I doubt I'll have time to start another project. I'm looking forward to finishing this one, though, and will wear the piece with pride. I do plan to find out from the instructor some details about making hammered pieces including cuff bracelets. I just need to know if they're harder or easier than I think they'd be to make.
Time for a nap and then back to packing. See you next week!
