The Wedding in NJ

This is a picture of the Sarah and Warren, the newlyweds from the wedding we went to in NJ. Megan, our oldest was in the wedding too. Megan and Sarah have known each other for about 24 years! The wedding was on an island in Stokes State Forest. The island was heartshaped, which was really nice and overlooked a beautiful lake! The reception was held in a building near the island and it looked like a lodge in the West. The hall was a long oblong and at one end there was a stone fireplace (which we didn't need, but it looked beautiful). One each table the bride and groom put a picture of themselves at places they have visited during their courtship. Each table was named for that place instead of having a number. John and I were seated at the Silverton, Colorado table. Sarah had surprised Warren with a trip there and they rode the train, which is a beautiful scenic trip. It was so good to see all our friends and visit with them all. We also saw alot of the kids that our girls went to grammar school and high school with. It was a beautiful day and we will hold this wedding in our hearts and minds for quite some time! Congrats and best wishes to the newlyweds!!

I'm Back from my Trip to NJ

Hi Everyone! I'll catch up more later, but just had to say hi to y'all. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was really fun! My niece's graduation was very nice-we couldn't go because they moved it inside because of the weather but we celebrated with her afterwards. I'll stop by later and give me details!

Currently reading and listening to.

I am currently reading The Water is Wide and I'm listening to The Hot Flash Club audiobook. I am enjoying both of these books alot. I'll let y'all know what the finally vote on these books are!

Getting ready to go to NJ on Friday!

Friday John, Teddy and I are leaving for our trip to northwestern NJ for a wedding. We will be staying at my parents house and visiting a little and going to my friends daughters wedding. We have known Sarah (the bride) since she was 4 yrs. old and she happens to be Megan's (our oldest daughter) best friend. Megan is a bridesmaid in the wedding. Jenny and Kevin will be coming too! My niece, Tawny will be graduating from high school on Friday night so we will try to go to that too! On Saturday we will have brunch with our friends that we used to live across the street from and then at 5 the Wedding. Then we get back in the car around 6 a.m. Sunday morning and head back to Charlotte. I have to get back to work and John has to get back to run the office. I wish we could have left Monday, but that just isn't in the cards. It will be good to see everyone and visit even if it is just a short trip!

Walked around the garden yesterday and found these!

This is a daylily in my back garden that I brought from NJ when I moved here 4 yrs. ago.

These are Coral Bells (Heuchera's) from my garden. I love all the colors!!

I just thought I would share some of my plants from my garden. I have to transplant some things this morning and get my heliotrope in a container near the front door. I bought 3 plants this year and the fragrance should be wonderful when you come through the door. Thought it would be even more wonderful for the wedding in August!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE!

I know we are mostly women on here, but I thought I should wish all the Father's out there a Happy Father's Day. I hope y'all have a great day!!

MY NEW HAIRSTYLIST IS WONDERFUL!!!!

My new hairstylist, Ashley was wonderful!! I showed her the pictures and she was so excited about styling my hair that way. She also had this miracle Aveda powder that when I take my hardhat off when I'm out at a project I won't have flat head anymore!! It's just like magic. She has been with Harmony Salon and Spa for 4 yrs. and she was so nice and listened to everything I explained to her. I am so happy!!
