Veggie Wedding Fun

Howdee all,

Before I show you some lovely photos of our daughter, Samarrah and her Jeff together.

I want to show you a few my Niece Tara and Sicksta Lori took.
The theme of the wedding had much to do with herbs and veggies.
Tara and Sicksta went with the theme..and this is what happened? :)

The onions that they are holding were what the flower girl held instead of flowers. :)
I will leave you with the rest of the photos.
Enjoy!

Slowing down….

Howdee all,

With Samarrah and Jeff's wedding only 4 days and all the pieces of the puzzle starting to fit together nicely…

cape visit_076Its time to take a cue from this critter....

cape visit_072And slow down a bit…

cape visit_069

We need to slow down enough to enjoy all of the special moments of this upcoming Wedding weekend to its fullest.

Lexington walk_137

Samarrah and I had acupuncture appointments yesterday which helped us both relax.

We both needed that. Allot of stress involved in planning a wedding.

All is done, now we just sit back and watch it all happen.

I may not post anything until after the wedding…maybe a teaser photo, but until then.

Wishing you all a very Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Slow Down and Enjoy!

A busy mind…

Howdee all,

The Wedding is just about 17 day away now…

  I sleep, eat and think wedding allot these days.

Lists of things to do go thru my head all day and night...

I needed to clear my mind so I went for a walk.
