Cat Lindon Got Married..... and I helped!


Hello Dear Readers!

Greetings from London!  The flight back was ok, I managed to rest my eyes a bit before landing, hopping in a cab, dumping my stuff and cycling to work!  I also am working at the sewing shop all weekend so there is no rest for the wicked.

Speaking of work, here is a picture of the sweat shop my sister was operating before the wedding.  Here we are assembling boxes, cutting paper to put in them, filling them with wedding M&M's and tieing them up with ribbon!  Well, SOME of us did, Patrick is dj'ing in the back there.  What did we do before Spotify?

It was all worth it though, the wedding was splendid, and Cat and I were knock outs!
There was lots of food, dancing and general merry making (open bar!).  Cat and Jeff make a lovely couple, don't you think!


I also had a great time hanging out with both sides of my family (The Baums on my mother's side and my dad's brother and sister and their families).  There was also a girl there who was a friend of the girlfriend of a friend of the best man (got it?).  Turns out though, she works for the company who has the contract my dad's company is taking over, though she didn't know that the Cat of Cat and Jeff's wedding that she was going to was Cat Lindon.  She sees him every Wednesday, apparently, small world!

My aunt gave me a splendid quilt in blues and purples which is currently gracing my bed as it gets chillier in London, though still unreasonably warm.  In exchange I gave her this lovely Ice Queen I made out of the lilac cashmere my friend Lucy brought back from China.


Just her color too!  You can see my Greek flashcards just under her elbow on the left, didn't have too much time for knitting and studying but I wasn't too far behind when I went to class Thursday night, so I seem to have made out ok.  We also took a family trip to Walden pond, one of my favorite spots in Mass.  Sigh, so hard to come back, but nice to be home.

Off to relax with Chris, we hardly go to see each other this busy week!

Cheers!
