Another whirlwind weekend. It has become the norm rather than the exception. This one swept in and brought an array of emotion. It began with the unexpected loss of my first cousin. She was 50 (which use to seem very old but I am not that far away from that number myself and the older I become the younger that number seems~) and was found in her recliner after family had unsuccessfully attempted to reach her by phone. She always said she hoped she wouldn't have to suffer as her mother had and it is a blessing that she didn't. At this point it appears she left us in her sleep as there was no evidence that she tried to use her phone to call someone or anything. She was a beautiful woman inside and out and will be missed by all who was blessed to have known her. I can still hear her laugh.....................
Saturday brought an entirely different set of emotions. My husband's first cousin married the love of her life (after having been part of his life for around 20 years.....) and marked the beginning of their life together as Mr. and Mrs. It was absolutely beautiful. A beautiful day (the wedding was outside); temperatures were only slightly nippy; the scene was at a Plantation House around Knoxville and it was such a lovely site and served as a perfect backdrop for a wedding; I so loved the crafty decor and the colors she chose; and it just could not have been any more beautiful!!!
Took a few good pictures that I will share. I am still a work in progress with regard to photo's but I really enjoy taking pictures and sharing them. It has been a hobby of mine for many years now. I suppose I just want to make sure that I have memories and since my memory is not very good I am able to enjoy my memories thru photo's. Hope you enjoy these. I have so much on my plate right now and so many ideas of things to blog about. My intent is to put my thoughts and ideas into words so hang in there with me and keep checking back!
