• My great-niece Paige got married on Saturday.

  It was a blistering hot day, but things went well and, despite the heat and mosquitos, the setting beside the creek was lovely. 

   

  The wedding party was nearly upstaged by small fry – there were more young children – 2 and under! – at this wedding than at any wedding I remember, and they were all remarkably good and beautiful.  Maggie doesn’t qualify age-wise, but she was our own princess-flower girl and she plays the role to perfection!

  

  And Kael, as nephew of the bride, and honorary ring bearer, stole his own share of the limelight! 

  

  I’ve only posted a few photos here, as I know that 37 of them would crash many computers!  Here’s a URL to my facebook photo album, to see the rest: wedding photos

  There were also a few incidents that made the day more exciting than needed to be, such as one of the bridesmaids collapsing and passing out from dehydration and heat, and my poor nephew, Justin having a car accident as he left the ceremony.  But fortunately neither event was serious, the festivities went on and Paige & Curtis are off on their honeymoon in the Poconos. 

  I actually made it through not only the ceremony and the reception but on to another party at our Pastor Bill’s house, to say goodbye as he and his family are leaving the area soon.    Happy for new opportunities for them but sad to have another link broken with them.  It was hard enough when the church dissolved – at least they were nearby.  Now they’ll be still further away. But thankfully, with 21st century innovations like the Internet and Facebook, I’ll manage to keep in touch. 

  Feet are ok, although they didn’t like the full day out in the heat.  Couple of days in bed should have things soon back “together,” and we’re on to the next festivities – Labor Day weekend and a visit from my sweet baby boys!  And of course, whatever the Weekend Warriors come up with in between.  Faron managed to get the porch power-washed and half of it weather-treated in that miserable heat, and plans to do the other half tonight after work, bless him.
