Here Comes the Sun

Here Comes the Sun

Welcome to The Dating Profiles Meme. This meme is based on a feature from WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. This is a bit different than an "answer this question" meme. Either you have used sites such as Match.com or Yahoo Personals or you’ve read them. Weekly, we scour those on-line dating sites to respond either a person's profile or often their headlines as most of us would really like to do. We use only "lines" that are gender-neutral. So, your mission is to respond to ten we choose each week. Seriously or with humor is your choice! The spelling or grammar errors were in the original profiles. Join us each and every Friday!

Autumn Nuptuals...

My sister Lura is getting married! I'm so excited!

Lura has been dating Albert for a of couple years. They actually dated in high school, but each married other people. Now, 200 years later, Lura and Alby are back together and planning a fall wedding. Neither wants a wedding in the traditional sense, Lura and Alby are looking to host a small, relaxed party in a nice room.

Last week she sent me a "save the date" magnet for my fridge. The magnet is quite nice, it has a picture of her summer garden in full bloom. Lura said Alby suggested they use that color scheme for the wedding flowers and the invitations. Lura explained she had something else in mind.

Since this is the second time for both of them, and the wedding is planned for the end of September, Lura would like to incorporate the colors of autumn in New England, tying together the decorations in the room, the costumes of the wedding party, the flowers and the wedding invitations . Alby really liked that idea and suggested an estate with great function rooms on the edge of some conservation land.

I think this will be a fabulous day. I've been to the estate Alby suggested. On a cool fall day, it will be beautiful with the foliage just turning. There are superb gardens on the grounds that I'm sure will be just bursting with mums and asters and other cool weather plantings. The estate has some really interesting opportunities for portraits and candid photographs.

Lura and Alby make a great couple. They are quite devoted to one another, and to the celebration of their marriage. I'm glad they found each other again after all these years. I'm sure they will be very happy together.

SWS 02.27.10

Sorry my family had to go.

Check out more SWS over at Cate's place.

Please, help me choose...

Sorry, I have been away. I'm sure there has been lots and lots 

of people freaking out because of my absence.

However, Mum's 80th birthday was February 18th.

We will celebrate next Wednesday evening.

I want to make her a birthday cake, but I have a dilemma.

It is this: 

do I make a fancy-dancy cake 

with white frosting and colored flowers 

(I would have to color frosting and re-learn flower construction ) 

or do I make the less fancy, but no less impressive cake 

that I can do blindfolded while hopping on one foot

Mum will love anything I make because she's awesome 

and she only really wants to hang out with everybody.

But which cake do you prefer?
