It is August and somehow the summer seems lost. The weather has not been typical hot hazy and humid but rather coolish, more grey and windy. I almost did not notice that I am missing summer.
I have had 2 wonderful daughter dates. Number 1 daughter believes "get the dress, the event will come" and she set out to prove it. The first was an evening in Stratford, dinner and theatre - Cyrano de Bergerac with both daughters as well as friends, another mother & daughter. This was so lovely. The play was filled with wonderfully coordinated sword play, great costumes and highly charged dialogue. I think that the essence of the story - that love can drive lives was well served.
Tonight was a promise dinner - an upscale local (London) restaurant known for its expensive menu. The promise to dine there was well-kept, the meal not quite as wonderful as its promise. The company however was the best! Thanks DD #1. After dinner we cried our way through "My Sister's Keeper", a story of love and giving so much that it hurts.
Even the son and his sweetie made it home this weekend. I really love having the adults "who used to be my kids" around. My sweetie and I love having them in our lives.
In the studio..... we are becoming more and more organized, the sewing machines are starting to hum. A few mending jobs and a newly cut out dress is the start of my stitching life in Lakeside. Another 3 weeks of moving related jobs and then I will be free. I also have socks on my knitting needles.
I threw away all the old lists and am looking forward to having a fresh start!
