You'll be pleased to know that, despite the cloudy, looks-like-rain weather we had for most of the day, I did not waste my day off, frittering away the time reading or playing on the internet.
Or, you know, not entirely.
There's one, last, little, step do on my Mystery Project, and then it's done.
Really, I can't wait to show you the whole thing.
Not only that, but I DID spend some quality time with my book, and with Chappy, and yes, I may have spent a little time online, too . . . And while it was wet outside when I got up this morning, it did not actually rain today. The sun even came out around 3:00, so that Chappy and I got to go for a nice walk.
But most importantly, as a good aunt, I don't want it raining on my niece's parade tonight. Or, technically, her prom. Mom went up to see her and take pictures, like a good grandmother should, and I, um, borrowed her pictures so I could share with you. (Yes, you, personally!) Gotta love that 1940s hair-style....
So, let's see . . . yep. That's really about it.
Let me think.
I trimmed Chappy's nails this morning, which was badly needed, but which he hates.
Oh, and I also transplanted my new violets so they can hang out with the ones I already had. They all seem very happy together.
Another author I liked passed away--Lloyd Alexander, author of the Chronicles of Prydian (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, the Castle of Llyr, Taran Wanderer, and The High King.) According to the obit, he was 83 and his wife just passed two weeks ago. That always seems kind of sweet....
Your niece looks fantastic! I love the whole package. The hairstyle was a perfect fit to the dress and wrap!

Oh, No! I'm sorry to hear that Lloyd Alexander has passed. I love the Chronicles of Prydain. I never saw the Disney version, but given the way they've totally butchered other great classics (think Bambi and Pocahontas) I don't really want to.

Glad to hear that you're nearly done with the mystery project! Your niece looks fabulous. I hope she had a wonderful prom. The violets? Gorgeous. I'm saddened to hear about Lloyd Alexander. I found the Chronicles of Prydain when I was a kid, and re-read them for the first time since then just last year. They're still fabulous.
