Day Two: Four Months later

Well, my double goals of blogging frequently and reading scriptures everyday needs a boost. I'm inspired by my older brother Carl, who just started a blog on his summer vacation from teaching middle school science in New Jersey.
On the docket for today: hemming R'els wedding dress. This is the second wedding dress I've made. The first was for my sister Maggie, 21 years ago, when I was expecting my fourth child, third son. He came, as expected. And the dress was a smashing success, including a lace-ladened train. Now my sixth and youngest is a senior in high school. R'els dress is much simpler, but a challenge since I haven't done serious sewing for quite a few years. I won't describe it or show a picture to make sure it's a surprise for Manuel, her intended.
