Katie and I have had virtually no time to work on anything this week.  Well, that’s not entirely true.  Katie has had time.  Me?  Not so much.  So this week’s training challenge is being postponed to next week.  In it’s place I’ll share with you a bit of our weekend.

Saturday was Bruce’s Aunt V’s 95 birthday.  We arranged to take her to lunch, and several family members came along. She didn’t know that other people would be there and became more and more excited  each time another person arrived at our table in the restaurant.

After lunch and back at her apartment a great nephew shared a very old photo album he had inherited from his mother.  In it were photos of Aunt V’s family, including her mother and her aunts and uncles when they were young.  Aunt V spent a good amount of time pouring over those pictures, telling us who everyone was.

It was a tender moment and I was trying not to cry.

My husband and I  had a wedding to go to that evening.  It was in an outdoor venue quite close to where we live, so we hugged Aunt V goodbye, wished her a Happy Birthday again and headed over to the wedding.

They sky was getting dark as the wedding began.

but everything went well and they were married before the first rain drops fell.

All in all a lovely and celebratory kind of day.  And to top off the weekend my husband and I are going to Ann Arbor this evening to listen to the season opening performance of the symphony.

Life is good.
