  • Goodness. I have been quiet of late, haven’t I?

    Sorry for the lapse in posting!  This past weekend was fairly busy, AAMOF.  The highlight was the wedding Saturday of Jennifer, the mother of “little Kirsten” – Kirsten’s Jessica’s stepdaughter, and my eldest granddaughter – to Travis, who Jessica swears is a fine fellow.  Jessica and Jennifer (Jason’s exes) get along swimmingly, praise God.  ;^) 

    The wedding was held at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford at 5:30 p.m.  Ouch.  It was in the mid-90′s, and there were four vertical columns of seats – with an aisle down the middle, naturally – and the seats toward the back were the ones in the shade so guess where the guests sat?  Leaving the front rows empty except for the families of the bridal couple and the bridal party:

    That’s Kirsten, standing closest to her mother.  It was a lovely ceremony but I felt quite bad for those poor guys in suits, standing in the direct sunlight.  They were obviously hot. 

    Here’s a photo of Kirsten and Brianna that I took right after I got there:

    There was a breeze, which was pleasant but mussied up Brianna’s hair.  And the sun was in a funky position, but still….I thought they looked quite darling. 

    Speaking of darling, here’s Charles holding Bridgette, with Jessica looking on:

    Jessica sat at the very back because Bridgette is such a squirmy wormy.  Hoo boy!  She’s a handful, always on the go.  The reason Charles was there was to pour the wine for the reception.  Was supposed to be at the NASCAR race, but as is his wont, when Jessica sent out a call for help, he gallantly came to the rescue.  He’s a wonderful brother to her!  Spends Saturday nights babysitting, etc. which for a 22 year old single guy is generous, indeed. 

    A photo of Jessica and Bridgette:

    On the tables were disposable cameras, which Brianna snapped up and put to good use when Jennifer and Travis had their first dance:

    There was a barbeque dinner served, which was very tasty, plus two different kinds of sherbert punch.  I’m a big fan of sherbert punch.  It was a very nice wedding, and a treat to see Jessica, Charles, and the girls. 

    The Concerts in the Garden began on the 5th, so here is the annual fireworks photo;  what I like about it is that’s the moon to the right:

    Kenny is working on the front porch this week.  The back porch has been a huge hit with Dmitry and his friends, and that’s a fact.  Zhenya was over as usual on Friday night (he comes when he gets off work at Alcon, normally between 10 and midnight), and told me the next day that he and Dmitry sat out there and talked until 5 a.m.! 

    Last night was the start of this year’s Next Food Network Star, and it’s cool that there’s a contestant from Keller, where Kirstin lives.  And that contestant is a housewife.  Wouldn’t it frost all those professional chefs and cooks who are the other contestants if she won?

  • Lovely photos. And Charles is a fantastic brother and uncle! Every girl needs a brother like that. At least one.

    I watched the NFNS last night, too. I like the girl from Keller – she’s personable and pretty and obviously knows how to bake a mean apple tart! :)

    If I had a favorite from last night, it’d be her. Or the guy who came up with the veggie side dish after his “captain,” sunk him by chucking all his ingredients. Now THAT girl is one to watch – I think she’s got nasty character issues!
