Food poisoning scare

We had a wonderful party yesterday afternoon. Probably fifty folks showed up in waves. Our neighbors enjoyed the back patio while Susan's friends from work staked out the living room and the kitchen. There were plenty of foods. We over-ordered for 70 folks. We have 3 shrimp and 1 sandwiches trays left over. I should have put them in the refrigerator immediately. Well, come to think of it the refrig was pretty packed. The trays sat in room temperature for at least 3-4 hours.

This afternoon I re-boiled the shrimps and we ate them. Two more days and we will be on our honeymoon Alaska cruise. I felt a bit dumb now risking food poisoning before this important trip. Just have to wait and see...

My seasonal allergy is gone!

Before our wedding I had the heating system filter replaced. We also vacuumed our house a little more frequently and the new bedding. The rains might have washed away the pollens or we are now well into spring when pollens are not as prevalent. Well, my allergy is almost gone now! I still have a little sniffle in the early (say, 5am) morning and some nose blowing. But the allergy severity is much less. My sleep is much, much better at night. Oh, life! Healthy and beautiful life!

Got married

We got married on May 7. It was a beautiful day after a couple of weeks of weird weather going from heat to snow to rain. The photo session at the photographer's studio was quite fun; we were able to have many pictures, poses, groupings with my son, our little Pomeranian, Miss Sheba which behaved impeccably well - I think she enjoyed the exhibition - and our friends. We went to Chautauqua Park for the wedding ceremony with the local Municipal judge. We are now married!
