show and tell

I love this set. It's from England. No, I didn't go there. I got it from a past tenant in one of the properties I rent. The whole set, can you believe it! It's so fragile looking yet feels strong when you grab the handle. But, do I use these? Not often. They sit on display on a buffet.



















These however, are the mugs TT & I use most. Did we buy them? No we got them from past tenants who left them behind. Does this seem like a pattern? Yes, it's the story of my life. Needless to say my initial is not "R". Why do I like these mugs? They're just the right thickness to fit your lip when you sip. A cup must be either white or a light color inside so that you can see the color of your beverage well. A black inside makes it impossible to tell if the liquid is water or coffee and how dark the coffee is. Coffee must be dark and rich.

Garden Wedding

This is my third try with this post. Having problems with inserting photos. I’ll get the hang of it.
Sorry, BB, couldn’t think of any original addictions. TT would tell you it’s the computer and the kids would agree. But it’s the way I relax and unwind (after a full day of WORKING on the computer.) Sounds like the ramblings of an alcoholic defending their drinking. I’ve always spent time daily reading and replying to emails, then I discovered blogs and one by one there were new ones daily I began to read, eventually comment to and now I’m slowly venturing into one of my own. You can see where this is going…
The wedding at our house was yesterday. All proceeded without a hitch, except for the bride and groom, of course, who are now permanently hitched. Guests began arriving around 1pm. The weather was perfect. We had to wait a moment to start while the groom searched for the license in his trunk.
TT performed the ceremony, beginning with a short talk on the joys and realities of marriage, focusing on its origin and counsel found in the Scriptures. The breeze was blowing lightly and it made the bride nervous wondering if the slightly top-heavy vase of lilies behind her would remain standing. However she loosened up for this final part of the ceremony…
After some family pictures and greetings from guests, all came inside for a traditional Mexican wedding meal-Chicken Mole, Spanish rice, pinto beans, ensalada and wedding cake.

After the meal the guests visited for a while then filled some take home plates for later (some may consider this tacky but its tradition
here in TX)

Then came an end to a perfect day. Off they were to the honeymoon and a new life together. It was fun but I look forward to getting back to normal. Did I say normal? What’s that?
Since I can't get more than 3 pictures to publish, I'll post this then post pictures. You'll figure it out.
