Bullet point wrapup

Wow so much has happened since the past time I posted that I can only resort to bullet points. Otherwise this post is going to be a novel!

• Antigua: beautiful, lots of work, lots of productivity, lots of inspiration.

• As Green As It Gets tour: amazing. Seriously inspiring. The young women who were working on their own projects like making purses, sewing their own bags for tea, making chapstick, helping with the coffee business – their determination and bright hopes for their futures was just incredible. It was great to get out of Antigua, speak a little Spanish, and see the smiles that Guatemalans are known for.
• Seattle: lovely. I think the weather was trying to make up for the last time I was there. Goodbye clouds and rain. Hello beautiful sunshine, cool weather, and nice breeze. Between that and the weather in Antigua it was just that much more difficult to come back to Houston humidity.
• Dawson wedding: what fun! The Bergman clan plus the Aussies made for one great party. Megan (and I’m sure Cress and the rest of the crew) did so much work to plan all the details. The setting was gorgeous, the band was rocking, the afterparty was a blast right up until the part where we waited for an hour and a half for cabs. Guess the evening couldn’t be 100% perfect, right?
• Etc: biking in West Seattle, yummy gigantic ice cream cones, laying in the grass with PB and Ranger, rolls, rolls, rolls, baseball game and singing, “nice, nice, nice”, and more.

And now my puffy face and I are trying to take it easy, read The Glass Castle in preparation for book club, and look forward to all the fun that August will bring!
