Opposites attract...
Mood:  crushed out
Today is the sixth anniversary of a knot being tied... literally. My cousin bound my hand to Kristin's because when he and I laid down the nuts & bolts of the ceremony he was going to perform, we weren't certain if the rings would arrive in time. (There were issues with the jeweler) As it turned out, we had the rings but went with the hand-tying bit anyway because it was cool. So you can say that on March 25th of 2000, Kristin and I literally tied the knot... or my cousin Chris tied us in knots. You be the judge. ;o)

Anyway, Kris and I had a wonderful day. We spent it together at Point Defiance park in the heart of Tacoma. Now, Tacoma isn't exactly known throughout the world for its breathtaking vistas. Frankly, it isn't even known throughout the state for them either, but Point Defiance is cool. We spent our anniversary as any couple would, exploring the first European settlement on the Puget sound, talking about the ins and outs of 18th century cooking technology with some guy at Fort Nisqually and then shopping at a fabric store.

Romantic, ain't it?

There was a picnic involved too, and some steaks cooked in cast iron. Not to mention some of the biggest tastiest reddest strawberries I have ever seen. So it wasn't all history-nerd stuff and sewing.

I did chew out the store manager of a Joanne Fabrics for implying I was an idiot and/or knew nothing about textiles. So there was sport as well!

Anyway, it's time for this week's Scotland. It;s a quick sketch this week because I've had other things on my mind. Anyway, it's called 'Opposites Attract' and it's dedicated (as ever) to my wife.

Ex animo...
Scottie
