The Wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!










The wedding was beautiful!! Nothing could have gone more smoothly. I only have pictures of Jenny right now. She was a beautiful bride!! Jenny wore my wedding dress for most of the evening and then when it came to the dancing she wore the dress she was married in while in Jamaica. She and Kevin were so happy! The rehearsal dinner was another story-not so good :(!! I am not going to be negative about Jenny and Kevin's "home" wedding though-atleast everything went wonderful there!! Enjoy the pics!!

The Sunday Stroll around the gardens





















My banana tree is getting huge!























My backyard garden is doing so much better since John mulched it. It holds the moisture in much longer than no mulch at all. John will be walking Jenny around this garden to get to the patio next Saturday for her "home" wedding. The top picture is my coleus. I have about 4 different colors and textures, but I thought these looked beautiful! The Japanese Painted Ferns are doing just great this year, even with the drought conditions. The banana tree is up to the second floor-it just keeps growing and growing! Kind of the Jack and the Beanstalk route!! Just thought I'd share my yard with y'all!

Sherri has a new ride!







Yesterday John and I just went car shopping to see if we could lower our high car payments and we did!! I got a 2009 Toyota Camry. I love it! I will love it when I got to the gas pumps too!

THE HONEYMOONERS ARE HOME!!!!































The Honeymooners came home yesterday afternoon from Jamaica! We picked them up at the airport at 5:00 brought them to our house for dinner with Megan and Ken and then we took them and Cash, their dog back to their apartment. It was really good to see them!! Hope you enjoy some pics!

The Kids are Married Now!!!




Hi Everyone! Jenny and Kevin called the house this afternoon and talked to John-they are married!! They tried to call me on my cell but for some reason they couldn't get any Verizon cell phones to ring. Jenny sounded very happy John said. She told him the ceremony was beautiful but she did feel sad that we weren't all together. He said she and Kevin got sunburned too, which isn't surprising with their really fair skin. We are very happy for them and can't wait for the US wedding on the 30th here at our home!! The picture above is the resort where they are staying and got married. It's called Swept Away Couples Resort in Jamaica.
