On a positive note, I am extremely happy to report that I have in fact found a dress for daughter #3's wedding and it is currently hanging in my closet. Last Monday evening, while unable to sleep, I "surfed the net" and found a couple of dresses to go in search of. With my eyes widely dilated from an appointment at the retina specialist, the Englishman and I headed to yet another sprawling mall. Trying on the first of three dresses, I came out to get the Englishman's opinion. He immediately said, "that looks like you". And so it was decided. What clinched it was when the saleswoman said that she thought it was meant to be - it was the only one left of that particular design and it was in my size. She said she wasn't sure if I believed in such things. I assured her I do and agreed wholeheartedly it was meant to be!
Much to do this evening, so I will keep this short, leaving you with a picture. (No, not of the dress. That will be revealed after the wedding!) Here are some of the beautiful peonies from my front garden. The first peonies I ever saw surprised me in the Spring of the year we moved into our first home. I have tried unsuccessfully to grow my own in subsequent houses. These are finally flowering and look stunning against their dark green leaves. Enjoy!
