sorry to be so absent this summer! we just returned from the second california wedding of the summer (fit into our schedule of selling our two homes and buying one in raleigh--moving the end of next week---yikes!) this wedding was my youngest (28 year-old) stepdaughter, caitlin's, and it was sooo lovely. the ceremony was in the carmel mission. what a setting! the reception was at the monterey plaza hotel, right on the bay. perfect weather all around. it was just extraordinary. i cried so much at the rehearsal that i was okay during the ceremony. caitlin is a total sweetheart and i am so happy for her and her new hubby, ryan. john and i stayed in a b and b, and i knew i wasn't far from melinda and wished so much i could finally meet her, but she seems to have disappeared. worrisome. i used wheelchairs in the airports. image be damned. hugs, all. i'll pop in when i can. diane Welcome back. We're in our new area of Dayton, Ohio...looking for a home now. Get some rest then come play. DeeTee ooh, what fun, dee tee! are you finding houses you like? diane Congratulations Diane! Sounds like a wonderful wedding. I am in the same position Diane. My eldest was married yesterday and I am exhausted. At least 13 for dinner everynight since Wednesday and even though they were helping it was hectic. Last night after the afternoon wedding and luncheon we had about 35 over for more food, booze and great talk. Ended the evening with our youngest, his girlfriend and my husband sitting in the garden under candle lights and stars talking until 12:30 this morning. I am beat but happy. Pictures of my garden at this site http://kEnglish1.photosite.com/ and better pictures of the wedding at this site http://jlee682.photosite.com/ (just in case anyone is interested. I was wearing the blue pants and shell with the sheer jacket over top (can probably tell with the prednisone face.) The little guy throughout the pictures is my 3 year old nephew. He almost made it to the alter - he was ring bearer - but my brother ended up carrying him and the pillow up instead. He did so well without 100 people watching him. My mom made and designed the brides gown and I embroidered the silk rose up the back. She and I did the bridesmaids dresses (who were fitted several months ago and only arrived for the wedding the night before - of course one looks the sh.ts) and she did the flower girls and my dresses and again I did the embroidery. Most turned out well. One bridemaid did not show up - still in India. Long story. It was lovely though. Anyhow back to my corner. I have 70 in my garden for an afternoon 90th birthday party for my mother in law in 2 weeks. Have to rest up and prepare - again. Kelly Beautiful pictures, Kelly! Thanks for sharing. Now we know what you have been up to lately. LOL Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. What a wonderful wedding, Kelly. Who ordered the perfect weather? Your pictures sure tell the whole story. What kind of a dog is that? I would love to have a place like that on the water. Your daughter made a beautiful bride. Kind of unfair to stick her in the mother-in-law seat! My mom said she and her friend used to ride in the rumble seat. She is 88 years old. The dresses are very lovely. My mother made my wedding dress and I didn't see it until the Tuesday before a Friday wedding! Everybody was teasing her that she would be pulling out basting stitches as I went down the aisle. She wasn't. Take a break, Kelly, and paddle around in the cool looking pool.

At [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >Kelly loved the wedding pixes, kelly! so much fun. diane The weather was perfect. The dog was shaved down the day before the wedding and everyone said he looked ugly but he was cool. He is my rescue dog - part bearded collie, and normally has hair almost down to the ground and looks huge. The place by the water is the restaurant and it is 2 doors down from our house. Our house is one house up from the water but we have water access. The spot was lovely. My daughter in law was very good natured about the seat. There wasn't enough room for my goof of a son beside her! Of course pictures were after the ride in the open so amazing they turned out so well. Sure wish the pool was mine. Could use it. That was my daughter in law's grandparents place. They nicely had a pool party for the rehearsal dinner. Roles were reversed on a lot of the traditional stuff. Kelly >The weather was perfect.

He is my rescue dog - >part bearded collie, and normally has hair almost down to the ground and >looks huge. I was looking at your wonderful slide show and suddenly there was this great big mutt in my face. Sure got my attention, just in case I had been wandering, which I hadn't. What a dog! :-) --- Joan Wow, Kelly. And what have you been up to in your spare time? LOL. What a picture-perfect wedding, and such a beautiful bride. I get tired just thinking about all the work that must have gone into it, but if the pictures tell the story, it was well worth it. That little nephew of yours is just TOO adorable. What a ham! Get some rest now, ok? After this, a birthday party for 70 will be a piece of cake, right? Hehehehe... Janet N. > Pictures of my garden at this site http://kEnglish1.photosite.com/ > > and better pictures of the wedding at this site > http://jlee682.photosite.com/ My nephew was born the same month as Melissa's baby. He is 3 years old and was a ham. You can tell the pictures were taken by his aunt and his grama! Kelly Isn't three a great age. Hope amazes me every day. melissa >My nephew was born the same month as Melissa's baby. He is 3 years old and >was a ham.

Can we hope for a book soon set in that beautiful area? Surely you took notes in between the other activities. :-) SignatureDon Kirkman hi don, the last time i went to monterey (5 years ago), my book CYPRESS POINT was born. but this time, i will probably set my book in north carolina (again), to celebrate being anorth carolinian! thanks for asking, diane Glad you are back and I hope all goes well with the move and all. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > sorry to be so absent this summer! > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > diane Hi Diane! Welcome back! Glad to hear the wedding went so well and that you enjoyed your time in CA. Good for you for taking good care of yourself and using the wheelchairs at the airport---makes a world of difference in your energy stores for the rest of your trip! Wishing you and John the best as you both finish up on closing on your old homes and then moving into your new home!!! Both of you be as kind to yourselves as possible during all of this stuff!
