One last shot at Mama's house before heading to the church


Isn't she absolutely stunning? 


Miss Jen's amazing Banana cake








There are so many dearly held thoughts and moments from that day that I'm treasuring up but haven't yet got into words. For now these tiny shots (from many people's cameras) will have to do as a beginning. 







Back to my (Virginia) Home


A new evening tradition with the siblings began this week: a chapter of George MacDonald and a morsel of something yummy!! This week that meant a lot of wedding cake...which we never got tired  of in the least. That Lemon!!



My Mandevilla quickly weaving its summer curtain of blooms around my picture window


A summer storm rolling in on the marsh
