Wow.. What a remarkable day.
You know, I think the worst part of the whole day was how beautiful Greta looked in blue (because I'm not interested in her, natch).. And when a beautiful girl looking beautiful is the worst part of your day... It was probably pretty good.
Mine was a lot better than that.
Esten, Olivia (! All the way from Michigan!), Sam (Yay!), and, ohmygosh, Kimberly all came to the wine party! It was really fun, and then after dinner, minus Livi, we had a kazoo jam session and Sam learned to play. I did hymns, Esten butchered patriotic songs.. I played a bit of "Name that kazoo-derived abomination!" with Kimberly.
And then I went and sang, which was wonderful but just a little embarrassing. Greta was too pretty for my own good, but.. It's ok. A very good time was had by all, and actually, I do think I did a really nice job on "The Green Fields of France", even if "Ashenlied" was significantly more so-so. That's to be expected - it's a much harder song for me, and a bit less singable in general. Oh well.
And, oh my, what a day it was. I'm going to read more Dresden Files because I can't stop myself, then I'm going to go to bed.
Oh! And Kimberly read the wine chapter from Father Capan... She reads quickly and read it all. I am hungry for the conversations that may come of it - I hope not overly so.. But, so be it.
Thank you, Lord, for my friends and family, and for this remarkable day!
