Over the weekend, our youngest daughter became engaged. YEAH!!!! Much excitement should ensue. It was sort of cute. The Keithinator called on Thursday to basically check it out with us if it was okay, made us promise to drop no hints, insisted that I would approve of the ring. He asked her on Friday night. On Saturday, when I was at the library, she called. All is well. She is excitd. I defintely do approve of the ring (although it looks like she may have to acquire a sling to help carry it arround.) We may be looking at a fall wedding which gives me 10 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds doable (maybe) and to let my hair grow long enough to do something with. My other concern is getting a wedding quilt done in that amount of time. But I'm sure I can count on some of my quilting buddies.
St. Andrews feast day was celebrated in church this morning. Much wearing of kilts, some piping, some inappropiate comments from the pulpit about going commando. I realized that piping can still make me tear up.
Tonight after feeding mommy and daddy, Dave and I went for a long walk around the point at Metro park. We got there sort of late and the sun was just going down. IT was magical. We could just make out Detroit, we saw a freighter. We were again attacked by very hungy squirrels. This time we were prepared with a bag of peanuts. The little beggars just about chased us across the park. They insisted on two at a time. Very cute to see them stuff one in each cheek. The lake was like glass and some of the big mansions across the canal were already decorated for Christmas.
