22198. arkymalarky - 7/8/2007 6:15:55 PM Judith, the wedding sounds like it was absolutely wonderful! I'm just glad y'all got there in time for pictures and the reception.
The train wasn't Amtrak, was it? I just imagine them quietly dotting the entire American landscape at any given point in time. 22199. arkymalarky - 7/8/2007 6:19:34 PM No, I can't wait to tell The Gathering. It will be a smaller, invitation-only affair this year. Bob and I are getting too old for surprises. ;-) 22200. judithathome - 7/8/2007 8:14:15 PM I don't know what kind of train it was...we didn't get close enough to see.
I just HAVE to tell you this, though...if you hadn't given me that Hové stuff, I'd have never been able to get dressed yesterday. Heh. 22201. alistairConnor - 7/8/2007 9:46:37 PM Summer was nice.
It was yesterday. Unfortunately, I was stuck inside doing wallpaper.
Now it's back to the regular program. Storms every day. We had a beauty just now : our little road became a raging torrent, and pretty much disintegrated for about 20 yards just in front of our gate. Huge chunks of tar seal washed away, and there's a trench about a foot deep in the middle. I'll see if I can manoeuvre around it tomorrow morning. 22202. judithathome - 7/8/2007 11:55:28 PM Sorry to hear about your weather troubles...we've had a lot of that here, too...roads sinking, yards washing away. Luckily, the picture below is the only result of all that rain for me:
 22203. betty - 7/9/2007 12:10:19 AM that wedding sounds sweet and wonderful. many years to them.
AC-when summer comes you have to stop dealing with the house and go out and play. It is the most important thing I have learned living in the Great Lakes region. 22204. alistairconnor - 7/9/2007 10:55:07 AM Oh Betty, I already have. I left the house this morning, I'll be back for a couple of hours in ten days' time then away for another week or so. Let it rot. Rain or shine, it's playtime.
Or nearly. I've still got two days at work. I'll be staying at my girlfriend's place, she'll be getting off the plane from Country X about now... 22205. Ms. No - 7/9/2007 5:20:54 PM What a fabulous wedding! People think I'm not very "southern" and even less "Texan", but the very idea of a cowhide patterend cake and groomsmen in western tuxes makes me kind of swoony. I've never been much of a one for big hair, but I do loves me some cowboys. 22206. Ms. No - 7/9/2007 5:22:56 PM Arky,
What??? No more unexpected visits from Todd? I'm heartbroken. sob!
Definitely tell everyone hello for me --- and at least Mose should be safe this year since I won't be making the margaritas. ;-> 22207. arkymalarky - 7/9/2007 6:10:42 PM Haha! I wish you could meet Mose's new beau. I think you'd approve, but Judith can give you a report!
22208. Ms. No - 7/9/2007 8:53:31 PM I want pictures! 22209. arkymalarky - 7/10/2007 12:15:43 AM When I get to civilization I'll email you where to look. What's your email? I don't have it handy. 22210. judithathome - 7/10/2007 12:29:57 AM You'll approve, MsNo...trust me. 22211. Ms. No - 7/10/2007 2:44:51 AM Cool! bridgeburner99 at yahoo 22212. arkymalarky - 7/10/2007 11:53:18 PM Did you get it No? 22213. Ms. No - 7/10/2007 11:57:13 PM I'll have to check it when I get home --- I can't follow the link from the office network. 22214. Ms. No - 7/11/2007 12:03:16 AM Scratch that --- I did manage to get through --- what a doll!! He looks so happy!
Just on appearances alone I'd think him the better match for Mose --- and I don't mean because he's such a looker but because he looks fully engaged in the world and the people around him. He looks thrilled to be doing whatever he's doing and that makes me think of Mose and how engaged she is with the world and the people around her --- and how that was the biggest mystery to me about her ex. He seemed to be a watcher and a brooder rather than a doer.
I'm thrilled for her! 22215. arkymalarky - 7/11/2007 12:32:52 AM Oooh, you're a good people reader. I think the link shows how much happier and more carefree she is. Of course some of that is finishing college. ;-)
Thanks for responding. I have a neurotic worry about sending private stuff to the wrong email. It intensifies with this gizmo, but I'm getting better.
It's nice to be online at the cabin, but, unlike the laptop, it's too much trouble to become a habit. Good for a rainy afternoon like this one, though. 22216. Ms. No - 7/11/2007 12:42:51 AM I'm a relentless people-watcher. I suppose the prurient version is that I'm a voyeur, but I think maybe that only applies to people who'd rather watch than do. I like to participate, but I can't help but be interested in whatever everyone else is doing as well.
According to the internet test I'm highly accurrate --- at least at telling the difference between a real smile and a fake one. I can't remember where it was but I took one of those odd picture-based tests --- not unlike the Boobie test --- where you had to decide if the smile was real or fake. It was kind of neat. 22217. wabbit - 7/11/2007 1:15:06 AM Spot the fake smile!
