Pandemic wedding
We had a lovely weekend helping to celebrate my niece's wedding in Iowa. She was married on the family farm where my brother lives. She was a beautiful bride and they had all created a beautiful setting.
It's not easy to host a wedding during a pandemic, but they made it work. Everything was outside, masks were provided, plenty of social distancing was able to be done, and people were careful. Yes, the whole this (like life these days) feels a little odd, but it didn't detract from the beauty of the wedding or the joy of the celebration.
On Saturday we were able to spend time with my mom and other friends, and today we stopped back by my brother's and were able to help with some clean-up. Having fourteen willing and able hands means that cleaning up can happen a little more quickly. It also meant that G. had a lot of time to play with the barn kittens.
Did you know that G. really wants a kitten? I might have mentioned it here a time or two. G. has felt the need to mention it to us approximately every ninety minutes for the past year. Out of the blue, G. will say, "I want a kitten," and go back to whatever she was doing. The only difference this time was that there were actual kittens to want. Kittens who were ready to go to a new home. Kittens that my sister-in-law would be more than happy to see go to a new home.
Well...
Meet Apollo.
We came home with one very happy girl.
