"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Dharma's wedding shower

A big event - but leading up to a bigger event in just a little over two months - a wedding shower was held for Dharma on 9 September.  Me not invited but I heard from my sources that a good time was had by all.  In the preceding weeks I was overhearing lots of planning conversations by those in charge, and much more work went into it than I heard about. 

Held at Dana's place. 

A highlight:  Dharma's sister and grandmothers provided a video greeting!

Here are a few photos . . .
