this is either "sweet dreams are made of these" or "i wear my sunglasses at night"--i can never tell
On Friday, the twins and I drove up to Athens to visit Lisa. It was very low-key--we wound up sitting around watching 300 and having girl-talk. Saturday we went to the Athens farmers' market and discovered the glory that is pineapple salsa, then we had lunch with Catt! And Lisa's friend Laura! At BW3's, of course.
Then we brought Lisa back Saturday evening so that she could come to the dedication of the new church.
Well, new-old church. The original church has been there since 1941, but over the past two years we've been building a massive addition--and so we've had Mass in the middle-school gym. Guess how atmospheric that was. But the new church is huge and pretty and we have actual stained glass. I am such a geek for stained glass--neither Bethel nor Nativity ever had real, representational stained glass, but now we've got one window in the church and two indoors flanking the little chapel that used to be the altar of the old church. Dad took about 300 pictures--I'll try and post some sometime.
Anyway we brought Lisa home, conveniently forgetting to mention that the ceremony was going to be an hour and a half or more...because we had to have the Archbishop come out and preside.
There's really no love lost between our pastor and the archbishop. I believe the pastor has referred to him as "Archie" in the past. ;) But they seemed to get along pretty well this morning, and the archbishop's voice was not nearly as soporific as it usually is.
Plus, he was all decked out in fancy robes. I liked his hat--it was gold and pointy and it had shiny red lining. It was, in fact, archbitchin'.
Then Christie drove Lisa back (she needs night-driving practice to get her license), and Dad and I watched the Errol Flynn Robin Hood. I'm not even mad at him for waking me up from my nap--it was a "great flick," as he likes to say. Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone being delightfully evil...and the wonderful camouflage of Will Scarlett who is really very fond of Robin, isn't he?.
So, that was my weekend. Mostly this rambling post was an excuse to distract myself from my newest OCD fear--sudden cardiac death. I swear, I ought to be banned from Wikipedia forever. That, or I should just take Mark Twain's advice.
Now maybe I'll write stuff.
