I'm glad I'm headed out to San Francisco for Interim today!
A little window into our life of serenity and peace...
I'm glad I'm headed out to San Francisco for Interim today!
Anyway, Carter helped out by icing my birthday cake that my friend Prentiss had made the night before, while we were waiting on the bread to rise. Luckily, no one had 37 candles so I had an easy time blowing out the three we could find.
It takes a long time to bake bread. You mix it, knead it, let it rise, punch it down, let it rest, shape it, let it rise again, then bake it. All in all, there are about 3 hours of "down time" when the only task you have is to wait on the bread. I didn't really plan it this way, but I think this is a really good skill for me to learn at this point in my life. Life is really good but it's really full and really busy. Perhaps every once and a while, I can carve out 3-4 hours when my only task is to wait and watch my bread rise.
By the way, Betty gave me a jar of sourdough starter and I successfully made two loaves of bread last weekend. Yum!
The first game was a Legion Feild and over 4000 fans showed up. The boys had a blast. Here they are in their replica BSC beanies.
Here's the best picture of the bride and groom. We love Christie - just look what she puts up with...
The reception was a blast. Cousin Brad was a hit on the dance floor. Check it out... Yep, he's the only dude out there.
And he managed to keep his beverage steady no matter what the move. Impressive!
Sharon, who I affectionately referred to as MOG (mother of the groom) totally let loose too:
I guess Kelly and Beth are doing their best Angelina Jolie pout.
