Think I'm finally over the hump with the ear infection and tooth issues. Feeling much more clear-headed and able to function. Low-grade discomfort is such a distraction.
Had an okay week watching more Batman: The Animated Series. I finished up season one and got started on season two, which is much, much shorter than the first one.
Enjoyed the opening of season two with "House and Garden." Ivy can be very intriguing and watching her playing normal family ended up being fun.
Also enjoyed Ra's Agul's return. I like the fact he isn't part of the usual rogue's gallery and doesn't haunt Gotham like the rest of the villains do.
I'm hoping to finish out the year with the rest of season two and three, then maybe dive into some of my favorite Justice League episodes with Batman.
That's pretty much it for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Harvest Haven, an Organic Nature short.
Here's the mini-blurb:
The harvest season is a busy time for Eppie, but with their future set, she and Vin celebrate their life surrounded by family and friends. The couple takes the long weekend to recharge and bask in their brand of love.
And a snippety peek…
Eppie sighed. "It's
perfect."
Hannah, Emily and Dani exchanged
glances while Dani fussed with the skirt and crinoline of Eppie's gown.
Eppie stared in the mirror while
Hannah zipped up her dress. The design—lifted from a vintage Gunne Sax
bridesmaid dress their mother wore—suited the setting and Eppie's personality.
Dani did the sketch, scaling down some of the lacy elements, and Emily stitched
the frock from the softest fabric Eppie had ever worn.
Hannah put her hands on Eppie's
shoulders. "My brother is one lucky man." Her fingers squeezed
gently. "I'm so glad he found you."
Emily snorted. "And lost the
here-today, gone-tomorrow she-devil." She referred to Vin's ex, Shari.
Dani's lips twitched. "If we
wanted to be really mean, we could introduce Shari to Jordan, Eppie's
ex-bastard of a boyfriend."
Eppie laughed. "I don't
think either one will be around this area anytime soon." Thank whatever
ruled the universe.
Dani stepped back. "You're
right, Ep. It's perfect." Reaching out, she adjusted the draping of the
skirt.
Maj poked her head into the room.
"Room for one more?" Her eyes went wide. "Eppie, you're
gorgeous."
Eppie swiveled and gave her
friend a wide smile. "Maj! I'm so glad you're here." She motioned Maj
into the room.
Maj entered, flinging her arms
wide. "I wouldn't miss this. I've never been to a not-wedding before and I
wanna take notes … to hopefully use at a later date." She waggled her
eyebrows.
Eppie clasped her hand. "Does
that mean you brought him? You're ready to go public?" Maj had terrific
guy but scheduling conflicts and her job frequently kept them apart.
Maj grinned. "I did and we
are." She gave Eppie a quick hug. "I'll share more later; he's
waiting downstairs." Easing back, she met Eppie's gaze. "I'm so happy
for you." With a quick wave to everyone else, she turned and headed out of
the room.
Dani arched her brows.
"There's a story there, right?"
Eppie smiled. "There is.
I'll bet Maj will be happy to spill after the ceremony." She took one last
look in the mirror before picking up her bouquet. "Everyone ready?"
The three women gave affirmative
nods and preceded Eppie out of the studio.
Eppie trailed them down the
stairs to wait in the sitting room for Vin to arrive.
This is the next to last book in the series featuring Eppie and Vin. I've loved dropping in on a monthly basis to see them grow.
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
