Memories

The stay-at-home order to help stop the spread of the coronavirus is getting very long.

It is almost unbelievable that this is happening.

Even going to the supermarket sounds appealing.

But, because I love living, I'm sticking to it.

The Easter decorations from the front porch came down and I brought a few different ones out there.

One is a really pretty crocheted heart that is quite old.

It's still filled with potpourri and lovely faux flowers.

I remember the day this was purchased.  

There was a local arts and  crafts fair.

My late Mummy used to love going places, especially to arts and crafts fairs.


It was a terrible weather day but we ventured out anyway.

We each bought a heart potpourri. 

Her turquoise one is shown in this post and mine was purple.

Hanging it out on the porch made me sad and happy at the same time.

I miss Mummy and hope she was looking down from heaven when I hung her crocheted heart on the porch!

Making a Memory: A Wedding in May

Golden, memory-making moments make life worthwhile and weddings are among them.

It's great to witness two people pledging their love for each other in front of God, friends, and family. A family member's recent wedding turned out to be quite enchanting in every possible detail. The bride's embroidered and spangled wedding gown, complete with a magnificent sparkling flowing train, as well as kettle drumming and a blare of trumpets in the church, announcing the arrival of the regal bride about to come down the aisle, all contributed to the memorable day.

Attendants wore navy blue cocktail length dresses with single strand pearl necklaces and silver shoes.  The attire looked sophisticated and elegant. They carried bouquets of roses and calla lilies.

At the reception, ornate chandeliers sparkled above as well as a rotating round mirror-covered ball over the dance floor that sprinkled thousands of light beams over everything.  The little children loved trying to step on the moving beams of light!

Tall vases with calla lilies and flickering votive candles adorned each table. The three layer towered cake had white on white scrolls, navy blue ribbons, and fresh roses on top and along the sides. Truly, the cake could have taken one's breath away!

The long table where the bride, groom, and attendants sat had a white cloth covering it and lighted beneath were hundreds of white lights, giving it a very Hollywood style look.

People dancing, a nice meal, champagne toasts, an evening of merriment, and sharing the joy of two people in love made the wedding so very special.

God bless the newly married couple. May He shower them with blessings as numerous as those light beams at the reception!
