My little sister and her husband were married last January in St. Paul, Minnesota at Northwestern College in a striking Romanesque chapel. Lovely wedding. Just found some photographs that my aunt took.

We rented He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not from Netflix last week. Excellently psychotic performance by Audrey Tautou of Amelie fame. We returned it but somehow it was either lost or stolen in the mail. First time that’s happened.

Looks like the hurricane’s heading to New Orleans. I hope it doesn’t sink.

Ran errands today. Mechanic, pharmacy, bookstore, liquor store, more pharmacies (why doesn’t anyone around here carry gentian violet?), KMart. My wonderful husband bought me Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology while we were out.

Another one?

Well, for us, in almost any event, at least this one won’t be as hectic.

At a doctor’s appointment yesterday wee E., as Nathanael calls her, weighed in at a whole six pounds and twelve ounces, finally overcoming her birth weight. She’s getting so big and can’t seem to shut her eyes. And speaking of anniversaries, ours was July 31, but it seems wee E. has far overshadowed that. We dropped her off at her great-grandparents’ home in Destin Saturday night and went to eat at McGuire’s Irish Pub on a balcony over-looking the bay (well, mostly, but not if they keep putting up blasted high rise condos) and then went to the beach, smoked a cigar, watched the night sky and kept wondering where Evelyn was.

We survived the hurricane intact.

Well, I tried to upload the wedding photographs a few minutes ago but it seems I have the wrong disc. Soon.

Is anyone coming to Trinity Presbyterian’s Family Advance in November?
