We left mid-day Friday for Kansas City to attend our daughter's wedding reception -- 2nd marriage for both, they eloped 2 weeks ago. Arrived at midnight Friday, up Saturday for a somewhat leisurely breakfast, then hit the road for 'the ranch'. Yes, she married a cattle rancher who lives outside of KC -- about a 90-minute drive from the airport hotel.
We arrived, got a tour of the ranch, some discussion of their plans for the future (building a house on recently acquired property), and a short 4-wheel ride with our oldest grandson, Jake. Then, they had chores, so we went into their small town for a bite of lunch. Met them at 4pm to set up tables, decorate, etc., for the reception at the 4H community hall.
It was fun - a chance to meet their friends; both from KC and from Burlington. Food was good too -- BBQ. Country music, cowboy boots -- relaxed and fun.
Drove back to the hotel, then up early Sunday morning to catch the first of 2 flights back to San Diego.
Congratulations to Gailyn, Bobby, Jake, Nick, Sydney and Ally -- a beautifully 'combined' family.
Friday's activities also included a bit of time in front of the video camera, filming a class in the morning. I am not so excited about this one as the previous, so need to watch it. It was a great group of students, however. Just not sure that I hit all the 'markers'.
My theme: staying calm/balanced during the holidays. Alignment emphasis: Inner/outer spiral. Apex pose: ardha hanumanasana (or full hanumanasana, if accomplishable). It was fun and comments were that getting to the pose was much less effort-filled than in previous attempts; so that tells me the sequence worked. Need to watch it, tho; 'proof's in the pudding', they say (whatever that means!?!?!)
Today: Watching video, teaching at the Library, perhaps I'll take in Ashley's class. Unpacking and house stuff.
Hope your day - this Monday before Thanksgiving - is a good one.
