An Engagement

Lots of busy stuff going on today - well, not really.

Margaret came over this morning - a nice Mother's Day present. She brought some canned goods, including the last of the 2006 tomato juice. I hope it'll last until she can get some more made this year. She also brought some just-picked-this-morning spinach, lettuce, and asparagus - and some cherry tomatoes. It's all SO good. I do love the fresh veggies.

I took her for some Chattanooga sight-seeing after lunch. We went by Studio 2 (and saw Vicki and Roger there), then around other places in the South Side. I drove her around Ferger Place - on the National Register of Historic Places. Such a neat group of older houses. We made a trip to Hobby Lobby, and then home.

We got the really big news then that Matt and Amanda are official engaged - ring and everything! Margaret says that although they're not going to graduate until December 2008, they're planning to marry in May 2008. Just about this time, Amanda's mother called Margaret, and they had a long talk about the date, place, other possible plans, etc. The wedding will be on 17 May 2008 at the country club in Johnson City, with the reception to follow there.

This will be the first wedding in that generation! And we're not surprised that it's going to be Matt and Amanda. They've been together for over two years now, and it was pretty obvious to all concerned. It'll be fun to see how it all develops. I can say this, since I'm only the grandmother of the groom, and have no part whatsoever in the planning or execution of the event - just a delighted spectator.

Today's picture is of one of the Spanish Peaks from Cuchara Road, CO. I'll try to get a picture of Matt and Amanda ASAP.
