Something Old, Something New

Mom came down to visit this weekend and brought her two kittens with her (much to the chagrin of my 11 year old cat, Ophelia). Here's pictures of Abigail (the bigger kitten) and Madalyn (the lil' one) and one of my Ophelia
I was scared that the kittens would wreck havoc with all the wedding stuff that I have around the house, but Mom's been keeping a watchful eye on them and they've been remarkably well behaved. Thus far, no wedding things damaged and we've had quite a few chuckles over their boisterous shenanigans. Unfortunately, Ophelia is not as pleased with the visitors as Ed and I are. She's been a bit grumpy!

We took Mom up to the Bristol Renaissance Fair on Saturday. It was a great time! She enjoyed checking out the shops and people-watching. Ed and I went in costume. Here are some pics:


Mom hasn't been down to visit in a while so it has been great to have her with us. I got to show her all of the wedding things and she brought us down our cake cutter. It is the same cake cutter that she and Daddy used on their wedding day in 1964. One side of the blade has their names engraved on it and their wedding date. She had our names and our wedding date engraved on the other side of the blade. All I need to do is create a little floral spray to decorate the handle and we're good to go! Mom also brought down fresh vegetables from her garden as well as the garden of my brother and sister-in-law. YUMMY tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, snap peas (and did I mention that she also brought us a homemade apple pie, some apple spice cake and chocolate zucchini cake? Mmm mmm good!)
