After that we went and visited an aunt on my father's side of the family and my cousin and her husband. Another nice visit and I got my Christmas present from my aunt. She is so good to me. She is also my Godmother. While we were there, they heard about someone nearby that had a tree fall on their home from the wind (no one hurt) and then the power went out. I took some back roads part of the way home and we had no problems.
This evening I walked to craft night across town. The wind is not as strong anymore and the rain has stopped here, at least temporarily. The drawn work embroidery that I learned about at the event last weekend, I worked on a bit tonight. I showed it to a friend that embroiders professionally and he said I seemed to be doing it right. We talked a bit and I told him I was thinking of doing something with it for modern clothes, not SCA and he brought down some books to look at. I have ideas and hope to actually do and complete them.
To end the evening I have been happily chatting with a friend from almost 30 years ago. We have seen each other at events now and again but haven't had lots of time to talk. I had questions that I thought he might have ideas for and we have been messaging most of the evening. Hopefully I haven't taken him from his family time too much.
All-in-all a very good day for us despite the weather. Hopefully the damage has been mostly superficial. Today was a happy day.
Lunch time!
