Friday Night Writes

So it's Friday night, and yours truly is being a slug on the couch. Zoe and I had a great dinner with my mom at Teala's this evening, and now we're basking in the glow of post-fajita bliss. I know, we should be out on the town partying the proverbial hardy, but...boy, this couch feels good. Zoe went to Texas Art Supply (fun!) and found some neat calligraphy stuff, and she's practicing Roman letters with a dip pen. It's beautiful but painstaking work, and the thought of doing all our invitations this way is a bit daunting...

We checked out the lovely Italian Cultural Center on Thursday as a possible reception site. Essentially a historic home with a small banquet hall built onto it, we found the setting and the staff to be wonderful. We'll be going back with a few more sets of eyes to just make sure the space will be comfortable for all our guests. I'm rooting for this place, but there are probably others we should check out. We've definitely ruled out the Czech Cultural Center as too ritzy - HGO holds their annual holiday parties there! That's life on a budget. But the Italian Center is lovely, and I think it would work great. Stay tuned...
