My, you HAVE been busy! And what a gorgeous bride and handsome husband! His relatives look wonderful in their array - we tend to look a bit dull beside them!
Are you going to have a rest now???
Yes, I am being a lazy bum right now. But I have a lot to do before school starts up in 2 weeks: a high school reunion (41 years, isn't that funny?) and a 4 day camping trip with friends, and some major tidying up around the house. I need more summer!
My African sister brought a ceremonial outfit for me to wear at the rehearsal dinner, but I look like a house in it. Still, it was fun.
It has been a busy summer, hasn't it? Glad to have participated in a lot of it with you. :)
Wow! What wonderful photos! Looks like you had so much fun - what a variety of events.
Now time to hunker down for school. May you have a great year.
