Chance = Change

Last evening, at the lovely chapel of St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Main Street, Peter and I attended the wedding of Wendy Mitchell to Nicholas Piper: a Barter Theatre Wedding if ever there was one...lovely...the bride wore white, and her attendants were in various and lovely black dresses...they all carried small bouquets of deep red roses..the men were in tuxedos and it all looked very wintry and pretty. She made a gorgeous bride. And since they chose to have it between performances of MODERN CHRISTMAS CAROL, most of the Acting Company got to be there...the reception at the Martha was mostly family, I guess, as all the actors had to go do an evening performance. We stopped in briefly to leave our little envelope of gift money, and then Peter came home to change and I came home to do more packing for our move, which is quickly upon us!! It felt good to be in a dignified and celebratory chapel for a sweet reason, and even though neither of us is particularly in agreement with the Episcopalian philosophies , I found the service refreshing to my spirit. The Yonkas left yesterday with our washing machine and dryer, and our table, so the place begins to look sparser..and packing and moving look possible, at least. Today, I guess our last sofa will be picked up by one of the younger actors and that will be that! We do have gorgeous new furniture waiting for us at Kiser's, and the leather sofa will be glorious to have in our lives, but, since I tend to give inanimate objects names and feelings, I feel the sofa is sad to leave us, and that makes me feel bad...the new dining table will also be lovely...as will, finally, the gorgeous rolltop desk i splurged on for myself! I mean, one day, I simply needed something to make me feel better about leaving here, so I let myself want it and then a couple of days ago Peter went to see it again and told me to get it! So...it is travelling with us back to NYC!! It will help me feel better about all this change...material objects always seem to do that...sad, but true...at least, human! Well, back to packing boxes!
