Weekend
Quick wrap up of what was a pretty awesome weekend.
Last days of school for My Tween and The Little Woman, yipee! They are at present with my momma, off doing summery I’m-not-in-school fun stuff like movies and lunch and shopping today. Wish I was too…..The weekend consisted of movies- Indian Jones, dum da dum dummmmmm, which I thought was pretty good. PetSmart visit which ended with the procurement of two hermit crabs - named Spongebob and….I forget. We’d gone in with the idea of getting hamsters (of which were to be named Ham and Cheese, respectively, if I had any say in the matter) and come to find the only hamsters available were these mean spirited Syrian hammies, which were just plain nasty, and didn’t hold the same appeal as say a teddy bear hamster all fat and fluffy. At one point the girls launched a full court press for a guinea pig, but c’mon, mama just got used the the idea of a hamster, lets not push it. We’d almost conceeded to fish, when the crabs were spotted. 70 bucks later and Spongebob and whats-his-name were on the way home.
The best part of my weekend though? Ontie and Oncle’s second wedding in a church built in the 1700’s with the look of new love on their faces after 25 years of marriage. It was the most touching moment, really just beautiful. The ceremony was simple and sweet, and afterwards we all piled into their home and ate good food and laughed and drank champagne and celebrated something wonderful. I made at toast to that effect, noting that to celebrate love is what matters- new love, all flowery and exciting, and especially love that is old, and renews itself on days like these. They give me hope, Ontie and Oncle do. Here’s to 25 more, right?!
