Stockbridge sunday

May 15, 2011 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg

In an hour or two, I'm headed west to Stockbridge to meet Danica for a dress fitting. Anticipating spending a day standing still in my nickers, I wish the sky wasn't so gray. Yesterday, Greg and a friend of ours went for a walk on the Quabbin reservoir through the relocated town of Dana, or what's left of it from the early 1930s, when it was razed to preserve the watershed. Being in a totally green, abandoned yet domesticated space was an antidote to the last few weeks at work, which have been full of humans, paperwork, and not having time for lunch. 

Wedding planning is going well. We have daily RSVPs to our online Google form, which is fun to watch gracefully populate. My bridal shower invites are out for local friends who seemed willing to help with craft projects, and we're going up to Maine next weekend to walk through logistics on the farm. The process is no longer overwhelming, nor am I concerned with the inevitable disasters of planning a three day vacation for eighty people.

The only lingering worry I have is that Greg will be absent for the six weeks before the wedding, working in Baltimore. As you know, his absence last year was why we got engaged in the first place- because who wants to be separated by so many unappealing states? Hopefully we'll have lots of projects to keep us busy, and he won't get stabbed on the bus.
