Just wanted to buzz in and say hi. I'm writing from my parents' house in North Dakota! For real!
My sister's wedding on Saturday was great: beautiful bridesmaids (who got hungry during the pre-wedding picture session and sent my husband out for pizza, which led to trouble when we were called for family pictures), magnificent bride, relaxed groom.... Hambet SLEPT through the whole wedding (thank you Guardian Angel!) so dh and I got to see the whole thing instead of strolling around in the parking lot. The reception was a lot of fun, too.
Yesterday was also a big family day (the groom is the youngest of six, I think, and they are all married with kids.) My mom had about 30 people for brunch. Now everyone is on the way home. We will be staying through the week. Nothing exciting planned. We might go out to my grandmother's farm this afternoon to pick some rhubarb, and later this week we might go to a lake in Minnesota.
Oh, avoid that interstate that runs between Rockford, IL and Beloit, WI. Just north of Beloit we got stuck in a horrendous, chew-your-leg-off-to-escape traffic jam. We were making sensational time until we got stuck there on Thursday.
