Housewarming

helwenThe housewarming party went very well! Not everyone who wanted to could make it, but there many could, and there will be other opportunities in the future for getting together. We gave tours and also learned more about the house from some folks who came here. Tasty food was had (thanks family, friends, and neighbors!), and I introduced one of my SIL who is now GF to pretzels she actually likes.
Lyle had started tying off the warp on the barn loom and Henna was willing and able to finish that off and start the housewarming rug going. She also helped a number of new weavers who wanted to add to the project whenever L or I were called away to something else (which was often). It is looking quite amazing! I want to leave it on for a little while longer, in case some folks who didn't have a chance would like to come and add a few rows to it. I haven't had the chance myself :D
Most of the family came near the beginning of the party hours, with nephew C, niece B and their son W coming later -- the sap is running well, so he had to time it for between jobs. SCAdians, neighbors and farming friends came throughout the day.
Weather was sunny and parking was manageable.
Today we're both in a good bit of pain, no doubt a combination of the long hours of moving things out of the main areas of the house, probably not hydrating enough during the party, and standing for long hours. Next thing on the agenda will be to un-stow some of the things we stowed and get back to finding proper homes for things, but it's kind of nice to have a clean house to do that in :D
So, we got a few useful suggestions on some issues around the house, have some nice things to add to the decor, and some tasty leftover treats too. But best of all, the house is being filled with good memories and good will, which is one of the best things you can do with a home.
Be well, everyone!
