tvordljOne more sleep! Yay!
Been sending positive thoughts and getting everyone that i can to think same in hopes that the volcano in Iceland stays corked until Graham gets here tomorrow afternoon. After that. Thar She Blows for all i care. :) It is looking hopeful that it won't go in the next 24 hours at least and that's all that matters (touch wood)
The old Halifax central library will be closed after this weekend. Not sure when the new one opens but it must take some doing to shift all the books and materials over so I expect by the end of September it will open its doors and I can hardly wait. I've been watching and recording the building process and now I want to see the inside! Drawings are "concepts" are never the same as the actual thing. I love the new building but many don't. They didn't tear down anything historic, either. The site used to be a hospital. They built a new one and tore down the old one. The spot was a vacant lot for awhile before the library was conceived and built. I notice that a lot of libraries, arts centres and museums that are built these days are really beautiful and uniquely designed buildings.
This is my last day before vacation. Picking up the rental car tomorrow, gotta get some wrapping paper for my niece's wedding present. The wedding is Saturday and we're all very excited! My cousin is arriving for a visit tomorrow, also very excited about that.
Made an appointment with the hotel event manager for Sept. 11 at 11 so we can have a taste test and see the venue. I also saw a really nice wedding ring that's a bit different. Will take G. to see it and see what he thinks. He's going to wear his dad's if it fits or if it isn't too thin to resize. I don't recall how heavy a ring his was but he did wear it for a very long time. He never took it off after his wife died 30 years ago so it's got to be a good 50 to 60 years old. Hmm. I know they had a 25th wedding anniversary. Not sure if they celebrated their 30th before she died. If they did, it was not long after, I think. Anyway, if his ring wasn't a heavy band, it might be too thin to change if it doesn't fit him. If that's the case, we can find him a new ring. The one I saw that I liked was less expensive than I thought it would be but it's mostly silver with some gold bits so I guess that's why. Oddly, it doesn't look wrong next to the engagement ring on the gold band but I want to see what Graham thinks. I was at the Mall a few weeks ago and found a few other ones I liked so if this one doesn't end up suiting, I have some other options. These ones are all non-plain gold bands, they all have some sort of decoration on them. A plain band is also an option of course.
