Th, 3/24/11: Deposits finally came in from couples we interviewed
several weeks ago and I am sending out first drafts, material from
which they may select. We have a dance processional with swing
music, a handfasting and a Jewish interfaith wedding on the books.
Plus I seeded a patch of earth yesterday with radishes, spinach,
urach, scallions, beets, swiss chard - plus we seeded broccoli,
tomatoes, tomatillos for growing in our indoor kitchen garden
window. Spring is here!
Fri 3/18/11: Artists Rep production of Jack goes Boating by

Jack & friend blossoms as they fall in love; his best friends reveal
the tension in their relationship; excellent production through Apr.
17th worth seeing. Playing with our granddaughter Sylvia continues

Wed. 3/16/11: Quite the day! Girl wanting to marry a fellow in a
local jail came over after I found another officiant yesterday to
officiate the wedding in Pendleton; daughter of couple celebrating
their 60th wedding anniversary came over and we planned the event,
spoke with parents over the phone - they are so excited!; and another
groom called to check in on our pricing and style for a loosely
interfaith wedding. Feels like another period of intense activity.

Wed, 3/9/11: Lovely wedding interview this evening with couple getting
married at Leach Gardens in August. Their Irish roots tingled as they read
a handfasting vows piece and they resonated with the depth of both Rilke and
Anne Lindbergh - Gift of the Sea. For a great photo, check out:

Wed.3/2/11: Retreat time at Breitenbush Retreat Center: We snowshoed
on either side of the Gorge Trail and, surprisingly, the main bridges
on both sides were down, so the length of the snowshoe was dictated
by the downed bridges. We brought along our cross-country skis, but
given the mixture of rain and snow, making sleet, snowshoeing was a
great alternative.

Th, 2/24/11: Preparing for Mexican/American wedding next weekend;
Grandfather wrote a Spanish poem to commemorate his grandson's
marriage - pretty awesome!
And a couple from Warms Springs, getting married at Kennedy School
this weekend called yesterday to say that their officiant, a friend,
couldn't make it, so they were looking for an officiant. In case of
heavy snow, we can walk to Kennedy School, so we couldn't turn them
down. Up to Breitenbush for SSHR and hopefully lots of cross-country
skiable snow!

Fri 1/14/11: First wedding for me of 2011: an elopement in our living
room of a lovely N. Portland couple, with their dog and 4 friends,
bubbles, corsage and all.
They were so very gracious and lovely. They will have a larger party
next month. I set up an altar in the living room - a new addition.
Perhaps this will attract more simple ceremonies to our living room!
Pictures to follow.

Wed. 1/12/11: Skype interviews are a bit weird, but so nice to
actually get to see the couple. The people who find us and think
that we are a match for them are just so special. There are just so
many incredible young people out there finding each other and
choosing to get married. This couple is talented, creative,
interested in ecology and environmental concerns, wanting a "green
wedding".
