Wedding News

Good evening , dear friends. Wedding preparations are in full swing around here . The girls and I spent the day on a whirlwind tour of surrounding cities in search of just that perfect whatever-was-on-the-list. We happened to step into Hobby Lobby's bridal sale and that was certainly fun. We loaded down the suburban and raced home with our treasures. They are now ensconced in the front hall , all organized on a big table.

The Hiers family came over today and helped tremendously on the wedding preparations. Michael Hiers spent the day hammering- but we shan't say what, and his dear bride Katie was unpacking and scraping, but it's all a secret, until Saturday. Samantha , the eldest daughter , helped in every way imaginable.

Glenn T. , electrician and traffic engineer extrordinaire, was seen on the property with tool belt a-swinging , preparing for the RV needs. A phone call revealed that the Davis family was at a store in Valdosta shopping for wedding stuff.

Wow, what friends !! We certainly could not host this wedding or any other event, really , without the combined effort and love of family and church family. God bless you all.

At supper tonight, we teased Wesley that in two weeks at this exact time , he and Cleveland would be waiting for a particular cell phone call from his father.......................................

A Tid-Bit on Hats...

HOW TO WEAR A HAT


How to wear a hat? With aplomb, knowing you are absolutely right. Rules are yesterday. How you wear your hair, your size, how you feel at the moment, are what count. Perhaps the only "rule" to consider is that of proportion. A large hat balances a narrow outfit or it's opposite, a skirt on the scale of Miss Scarlett's hoopskirt. A small hat is fine with both the narrow and the billowing silhouette. A hat with a brim is worn straight on the head, unless you're under ten.
But you may find, for instance, that if you're small, a big hat isn't wrong:It makes you look devastatingly fragile. If you're tall, a high crowned hat may only make you more majestic. One of the greatest enemies to hat~wearing is self-consciousness. Stand tall...

The Wedding Shower

Hello, Y'all!
This memorable night took place a few weeks ago, and I'm sorry it had taken me so long to post~It was so fun to do it later rather then right off, because it brought back a flood of precious memories of the evening!
As you can see from the pictures {Thanks, Dear Aubry!} the precious folks from our gathering did the most beautiful job of preparing a huge sit down dinner, with fantastic food, wonderful fellowship, and lovely decorations to make it that much more special. What a blessing! They are each so wonderful. Thank the Lord for such an uplifting and kind family in the Lord!
Well, I will scoot off to bed...Tomorrow brings a huge trip to the plant nursery {!!!} and yard work~I'm looking forward to a day in the summer breeze! Hopefully it will be breezy. If not, Oh well. :) 'Twill be jolly being with Mum, the girls and my Five Little Indians!!!

Arrivederci!!

Love in Christ Jesus,
Adeline

Charming...

Mrs. Kim P.'s beautiful menu~Everything was so delicious and lovely~it all just took my breath away when I walked into the dining hall!

Mrs. Conley R. and Mrs. Kathy Rsl. enjoy chatting after dinner...I really enjoyed eating dinner with the Rsl. Family and the S. girls~We talked of languages, and homeschooling, which led to science, which led to, after dinner, the discussion of Mrs. Kathy's experience in the science class at gov. school~ I never knew they used little piggies for experiments in there! How interesting. My experience with learning about animals by observing their carcasses was when my sis and I skinned our poor pet calf a day after it passed~our precious calf is now forever upon our memories, and to this day, her spotted fur graces the wall of our boys bedroom...

Our dear little family observing something with amusement... :) Is not Bret a cutie!!??

Mrs. Joyce tending the coffee table~'twas so neat and nice.

The faithful gift bringer~inners and the gift taker~outers enjoy the goings~ons...

It was such a joy to watch Wesley and Rachel open each gift~each so beautiful and thoughtful, each meeting a need in the practical areas of the wonderful home they will build by God's grace alone!
Ah, and such a pile of delightfully fluffy feathers for her little nest!! What a feast for the eyes! But, truly, all feathers, no matter how frilly they may be, are needed. In the female mind. :)
What a precious group of friend and family in Christ that the Lord has blessed us to know and one~another with!Admiring a beautiful mirror from A&K, above~and that's Mrs. Joyce T. in the mirror.
