Yeah, but you're a lot closer now than you were a month ago at this time, FD! Yayyy!!!
Yep, we're home. I left with some Masonic dude and came home with the Grand Master of the State of Wyoming. We have a couple of days before we pack up again. Our first trip was supposed to be to Jackson, Pinedale, and Evanston, but that break got kinda hosed and we have our first visitation now scheduled for Friday. But it's just an overnight, so we can still leave for the other one as planned.
We had a blast at Grand Lodge. I had bought this perfect dress for the installation but it needed a couple of minor alterations. Note: Be careful when you have a dress for a major event altered. Have a couple of fittings. Try it on before you leave town. <sigh> I looked like a Jimmy Dean sausage. I don't know what she did to it, but she totally changed the fit of the top. It gapped, it kept sliding off my left shoulder, the entire dress kept trying to migrate north, it was way too tight in the bodice. But I had no alternative, so I wore it. A very wise lady in a bridal shop once told me, "If you have to touch the dress after you have it on, it either doesn't fit or it's not the style for you. You should be able to put it on and then never have to tug, shrug your shoulders, or fidget." Yeah, well. I took a gabillion photos, but I am still trying to decide which ones to post. Over on FB I could post the whole lot of them because my FB consists of most family and Masonic friends, many of whom are in the photos. But I don't want to photo blitz Grand Lodge photos on you so once I decide I'll pop them up. Katie had the best time!! She met two little friends there, the granddaughters of Senator Mike Enzi.
Got a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I hurt my ankle in our room as we unpacked on Saturday, so I lived on Advil for 4 days. Pretty swollen and discolored, but I don't think anyone noticed except Ken and Katie, because they were getting me ice during our respites in our room. Still haven't completely finished unpacking from this trip, so I need to get busy and do that, wash clothes, and repack. Glad I keep the "essentials" bag always stocked and never have to mess with that one!
