He's a keeper :)

Local Wedding Venue

I photographed a wedding here at Dover Bluff a few weekends ago.
It was a Saturday and had rained all morning.
The skies parted and things cleared up for a very nice evening wedding.
It was held in the back yard of a private residence over looking the marsh.

This is a nice view of the Marsh from the back porch of the home.
This is a shot from the side yard.
The cake was so pretty and so delicious.
Close up of her bouquet.
The un-wanted guest were horrible!!!
Yellow flies, sand gnats and mosquitoes, oh my!
I knew they would be and I wore long sleeves and
long pants and used two different kinds of bug spray.
They also had sprayed the yard twice that day
but it didn't seem to help much.
I looked a little out of place with all the
pretty summer sun dresses but I was there to
 get pictures not look pretty.
Several persons commented that they
wish they had covered up more.
It's not always this bad, sometimes it's worse!
We didn't have a cold winter to kill off the bugs
so summer will be hot and miserable.
So thankful for air-conditioning,
which I have been using off and on since February!

Can't Quit Thinking...

And wondering...

Just how the wedding plans are going for Lady Mary and Matthew.
I can't wait to be a guest at that wedding.
I bet the cake will be just awesome!
And, Mr. Bates, how is he doing behind bars?
And poor sweet Anna...

And what in the world will we do
when Grandma-ma, Dowager Countess,
 Dame Maggie Smith leaves after season 3???
Can't somebody stop her or yet offer her more money?
Please stop her.

What an awesome cast!
I was excited to learn that most of them have
signed contracts through season 5!
Love, love, love Downton Abbey.

You already know I'm crazy so this
will not come as a shock to you.
Every now and then I have to pull up any
 episode of this show and listen for a few minutes
 just to get a quick fix of that British accent.
Ah, just what I need to get through the
 day and the real problems in life.

Barn Charm # 43

I'm always looking for barns.
And I have to take what I can get!
We don't live in a rural area.
So I was excited to find this barn! 
Took this picture at the Jacksonville Zoo last week
when the girls were out of school for teachers planning day.
Just wish there would have been a few Warthogs in there.

These pictures were taken last week at the Jacksonville Zoo.

Cell Phone Saturday #12

Spring has sprung here in south Georgia.

 And we have been Kite flying a lot in the last two weeks.
Both GRANDgirls are really good at flying kites.
I started teaching them at age 2.
Now that they are 7 and 5 they are real pros.
Makes a Gigi proud.

I bought little cups for the nursery at church and they
were on the kitchen counter so I wouldn't forget to
take them. Reagan called me to come look at her castle!
She was so excited! I had to laugh and
be happy about her creativity.
 (I still had half a pack left for the nursery.)

I've shown you mine now you show me yours!
Cell Phone Saturday!
