Happy Birthday! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Thank you, IG. I’ve been reading and following your exploits avidly. You know that I’m praying for you during this session.

Good Morning! Today is moving day. I’ll be staying in a hotel the first week, so I’ll leave some of the piles in the livingroom until next week.

There are several open houses to attend in DM this afternoon, and a dinner tonight.. then a breakfast in the morning. The swearing in is at 10:00 tomorrow morning. Mr IG is following along, and will return home tomorrow after the swearing in.

I know it is early days yet, the wedding isn't until Summer 2012, but I think I have found my mother-of-the-bride dress. Here is the basic patterm. I am on a major diet and am hoping to get down to a size 6 or 8. I'll make the dress to a mid-calf length in a dark red crepe. The challenge will be if I can find an appropriate lace for the jacket. In the back of my mind is to order the fabric now, with perhaps a matching gauze, then tat or crochet a special lace. I am thankful I have 18 months to get it done.

The best to you, IG!
So, will the grans be able to visit with you at the condo?
