One month anniversary
Barbara and Anthony have been married for one whole month. They are very happy and blessed.
I'm going to try and post a few photos at a time. I'm truly savoring them all and reliving the most beautiful day ever...
Barbara got ready at the home of our friend's Kent and Donna. George found something to keep himself busy while he waited for Barbara to appear...
Here's me and George...I have no idea what was so funny. We were just having fun...
And when Barb was ready, she made a graceful entrance down the stairs to her father's waiting arms...
*sigh* She was just sooo beautiful...
This pew was one of many in our church that were replaced with chairs a few years ago. Barbara is famous in our church because she, unbeknownst to many people, kept a log of church events on the underside of one of the pews. When they were removing the pews, they found the "diary" and ended up keeping that pew in the church just for that reason. Donna and Kent were among a few who kept a pew for sentimental reasons. (A lot of us miss the pews...but that's another story.)

Speed Update...
You may be familiar with the movie "House Guest" with Sindbad. Anyway, there's a scene where he's playing speed golf to get away from some bad guys.
We adopted this concept and for years have come up with different ways to implement it into our lives. For instance, we play speed scrabble where we don't keep score and you have no more than five minutes to create a word, and speed bowling where you use any ball and throw it before the pin changer is finished (we haven't gotten in trouble yet for this one *crossing fingers*). It's good for laughs and keeps things interesting.
So ya, this is a speed update since it's been awhile since I've been here. So hang on, here we go...
Memorial Day at our Pastor's house. Cooperative flowers:
Same day at the Daddario's house. Daisy watching the ping-pong match...
Tommy got a hold of the camera and I played with the images...
The next weekend. My daughter, Me, Mom and sister...
Tommy doing a kick flip on his skateboard while jump-roping with a surfboard leash...
A gorgeous day on the cliffs above the ocean...
Our neighbor...
Daisy...
The truck down the road...
I love my Xanga buddies and read the subs everyday. I just spend most of my time on Facebook and don't get over here that often. So, I hope you're all doing well. Thanks for stopping by...

Tommy's 23rd birthday
Tommy's birthday was this week, he's 23 years old...
...so he invited a few friends over for a bonfire with s'mores, and a rousing game of ping-pong billiards...or something, I dunno what it's really called.
You set up cups with some kind of liquid in them...
My guess is this is a college game and usually the liquid is quite a bit different from what Tommy and his friends used....
They had every kind of juice and soda they could find in each of the cups. LOL..they all had stomach aches by the end of the night.
It was just good old fun...they had a blast...
Daisy wasn't allowed to play the game...
Happy Birthday, Tommy!!

My other child...
Barbara got so much attention over the past three months, that it's only fair that I remember that I do indeed have another child.
Tommy very graciously faded into the background for the moment so Barbara could have her day, but as soon as Barbara and Anthony took off for the honeymoon, Tommy grabbed George's arm and insisted he get photos of himself skateboarding in a tux at the skate park just down the street from the wedding sight.
LOL...he's just too funny, that guy.
A few days later, he brought his new girlfriend over for dinner. We've been so busy with the wedding that we haven't had a good chance to get to know her. Alex is a lovely young lady who is now fully aware that when she comes over to our house, she must be prepared to have her picture taken at any moment...
So life is getting back to some normalcy...and Barbara and Anthony are back from a fantastic honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I'll be posting more wedding photos as they arrive.
I hope you're all having a great week.
Oh ya, I'm supposed to remind you to go vote for your favorite flower picture at iliveinmycamera. I entered a photo this week. Thanks.

The BIG day...
Barbara and Anthony got married last Saturday, which explains why I've been AWOL from Xanga for several weeks. I thought I could keep up, but alas, I was planning, planning, planning.
It all went beautifully...it was an absolutely PERFECT day. The Lydells will have our images for us soon, but for now, I'll share the ONLY picture I took all day. When George walked Barbara up the aisle and got to me, I handed her our camera (that Mark had fitted with a fish-eye lens) and she took this shot...
It was an absolutely classic moment and started the ceremony off on a very fun note.
I'll have more later...but for now...even though it's nice to be back in Xanga-land, I still have lots a catch-up to do.
Hope you're all keeping cool where you are....it's ridiculously hot here.

About Me

Married 25 years with two adult kids. I run a small photo business with my husband, and actually started taking photos myself about four years ago when my husband bought me my own camera cuz he was tired of me telling him what pictures he should be taking.
