Weddings and Funerals

I’m not much of a royal wedding fan.  I don’t remember Diana and Charles’ wedding too well, probably because I was newly here in California and caught up in my own adventures.  But I do most certainly remember Princess Diana’s funeral.

I was down near San Diego for the weekend.  My beau and I were staying in a little motel in Encinitas.  It was a hot September night.  The Santa Ana winds were blowing and there was no air conditioning in the room.  My partner slept, but I stayed up til the wee hours and sat crying silently on the end of the bed as I watched the service.  Besides the awful loss, it was such a romantic tragedy.

I wish Miss Kate and Prince William all the best.  From what I’ve seen, they seem charming, confident and comfortable with each other, and, so far, with their other constant partners: the public and the press.

Sure would be nice if the divorce rate started going down for a change, royals and all….  Yes, I wish them well.

P.S. I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge this month – a blog a day if I can.
