Ours never stopped.

We stopped a few years after we moved to TX.  Prices of kosher products here especially meat and poultry are insane.

Good morning. What a beautiful rainy day here.   Packing suitcases and organizing our travel items. From formal wear to after wedding party. 
 

I am sure some are wondering how late I slept in. Well rested till 5 am. Then the cat wanted to play. The DH dodged the fur ball and slept till 7am. 
 

Someone googled my hair color. Guess it’s an Ohio thing. Land locked and all. 
 

So I’ll share a picture of the finished product. Been using this color off and on for years. The picture is from a few years back but shows the color.

 Oh. That good looking man next to me. Well that is my patient tolerant husband. He earned his spot in heaven many years ago by putting up with me. 
 

Keep us and our children as well as all on CC who has followed the wedding journey in your prayers. 
 

Pictures will eventually follow. 
 

The lions family. 

 

Good luck with the wedding.  I was given 2 very good pieces of advice before my wedding. 

1. Something inevitably WILL go wrong with the reception, given the complexity of everything being planned.  The only people who will notice or care are the bride and the bride's mother. No matter what happens, it's a fun party for everyone else, so don't sweat the details.

2.  As the groom, when my prospective bride asked me anything, the appropriate response was, "yes dear, whatever you and your mother want".

 

Enjoy the wonderful day!

Passaic County.  

Yes, love NJ tomatoes and corn.

 

So many people think of New Jersey in connection to Elizabeth and Bayonne and the whole area across from Manhattan. 
They don’t realize why it’s called “The Garden State, how beautiful so much of New Jersey is, and how good the produce.

I figure another reason we need to get back to cruising is t-shirts.  I put on my St Thomas t-shirt today and besides be faded, it is also tighter!

I hear ya.   Just last weekend I was saying to Hubby we better be cruising in September on our booked Oasis sailing as I need some new tank tops/t-shirts too!     I wear my islands t's around the house on weekends and as beach coverups when I am at the NJ shore.      They shrink easy😘

I'm going to find out if there is a difference between Jersey Corn and Tomatoes then growing them in Virginia...

Here is my garden in Virginia....have to fence it in otherwise all the deer we have would go to town on it.

It’s so healthy and lush! I hope you get wondrous veggies from it!

Yes, it's unreal. I only fertilized one time when the tomato plants were about 10 inches tall. Now the tomato plants are 5ft high.  They have 54 inch cages, but you can hardly see any of the cages now,  pretty much completely covered by the plants.

Everything is really deep green color.

I'm sure they do.

Taking a quick break before rehearsal and dinner. 
The dress is safely resting in our room. 
 

I have done a lot of practicing lately. Crying that is.  I’m doomed.  
Our hostess here already told me I am getting a “ skinny pirate” before I go down the aisle. 
(captain Morgan and Diet Coke).  
DH said make it a double. 
 

Stay safe.

That should take any nerves off. Good luck and I wish you and your family a lifetime of love and happiness.

Thank you.

Good luck to your son.

Portsmouth and Southampton are on the English southern Riviera and get some of the best weather too.

Thank you. He is loving life while working his dream job.

There is an apple tree in the back yard also. Looking to have our first fire in our fire pit tonight with a cold drink or 2.

You can see the garden in the back ground. We get to view the back yard from the sunroom and outside deck.

He works in the offices in FL and is just over for a few weeks to help get things ready.  He doesn't work for Royal.

Beautiful!     Enjoy a cocktail or two.     

If you give me your address I can bring scrapple and mojitos (that doesn't sound good together).

We have been stuck around temps of 95 to 100 for the last couple of weeks here in southeastern PA.    I am tired of the humidity, saying next week should be less humidity and temps in 85 to 90 range.

Wishing you and your family much happiness.  You've worked hard, now it's time to enjoy this wonderful weekend.  If there are any hiccups, just remember, the things that go wrong are the things that make the best stories to tell later!  Cheers!

You're one lucky lass 😉 

 

Wishing you (& al 😁) a very enjoyable cruise - every moment of it, including the much waited for C. Kate and her naked Bug 🌷 [remember, the "groupie from Israel?"]

 

Should you have a spare moment, post/s and pics will be more than welcomed 🙏
