Yes I was away for a little while. To a beautiful wedding in OR. My niece got married at a beautiful vineyard at sunset. An academy award winning cinematographer could not have set the scene any better.
It was also a wonderful time to see my brother and the rest of the West coast/Alaska family. We don't get nearly enough time together so all of us staying in the same house packed in together was fabulous. Nothing like those late night chats when it's quieted down. My brother and sister are older than me by 14 and 16 years respectively and because my sister is only a few hours away we have gotten to be really good friends over the years but my brother left for Alaska when I was about 6 or 7 and I never got to know him.
If I were to judge him by his children and their families and relationships I would say he is a very fine man indeed. He and his lovely wife have raised two beautiful children, though in their 30's we're closer in age! They are beautiful in every sense of the word, heart, soul, person. I must make a point of visiting more often. And also a point of getting to know my brother better. He's a good man and one I'd like to know.
Now onto Halloween, it's coming! I'm having a party Saturday for about 20 4 year olds! Yes you read that correctly 20 4 year olds. Should be fun and is only for two hours. Will post photos then with results.
In the mean time here's a cool bat blanket/wall hanging I made and will be using as a Halloween decoration.
