Mellow Yellow Monday #141 - Ocean Beach Sunset - October 3, 2011

Friends got married at San Francisco's Cliff House on October 1st with
nature dazzling all of us with this magnificent sunset display.  May
Nicole and Kevin have a lifetime of such brilliant sunrises and sunsets
and all the joy that is possible as they share their lives on this earth!

My son, Jeremy, was privileged to be their best man.

Alphabe Thursday - "R" Is For Romance - February 10, 2011

"R" is for romance,

Such a wonderful thing,

It's that tingling feeling,

That makes your heart sing.

It's not just for Valentine's,

But for all the year through,

You can make life romantic,

In small things that you do.

A dozen roses are lovely,

But one stem will suffice,

If given with love,

And something else nice!

Just an evening at home,

Sipping wine by the fire,

Can be the best kind of date,

With the man you admire.

A casual afternooon,

Spent in the park,

With two star crossed lovers,

Can be such a lark.

Often times, romance,

Continues to bloom,

And next thing you know,

There's a bride and a groom!

Keep nurturing romance,

Treat your honey with care,

Let them know that your love,

Will always be there.

"P" Is For Pooped - Alphabe Thursday, 5-6-10

"P" Is For Pooped - Alphabe Thursday, 5-6-10

I am nowhere near finished with all I have to do before heading to Sacramento tomorrow morning.  I'd better make a list or I'm sure I'll forget something, like my shoes for the wedding.  I did get out today to Costco and buy all the wine for the rehearsel dinner.  Though the restaurant charges $15/bottle corkage fee, I was able to get a good Italian blend, which got a 90 and Best Buy in the Wine Spectator for less than the least expensive bottle at the restaurant, even with a corkage fee!  I just finished the poster board with the photos of the bride and groom at various stages in their lives - got a little teary, at times, looking through all Alex's photos. 

I am so pooped right now, I'm thinking maybe I should just go on to bed and get up at 5AM and pack.  I do hope everyone understands that I may be a little slow in getting around to reading blogs and responding to comments.  I'll catch up on Sunday and Monday when all the wedding stuff is over.  I kind of think maybe I shouldn't have tried one of theose bottles of wine this evening but I did need to sample it to make sure it was good enough for the rehearsel dinner, right???

Pooped I may be but I am so excited that, at this time, Friday night, I will be a mother-in-law!
