Two Weddings and a Happy Mother

Weddings

Welcome and wonderful

Even if a bit stressful

Diaphanous  gowns and

Decorations to suit,

Intriguing reasons and

No unhappy tears

Grooms who love their brides

Smash all thoughts of doubt and give freedom to joy!

My husband and I have much to celebrate this month and next month. Both of our lovely adored children will be marrying their chosen partners; our son on Mother's Day, yes, this month, and our daughter on June 27th, yes next month! We have known of our daughter's for over a year, the other was announced last Thursday!

They are both so very happy, how can I not be? I am lucky that both my husband and I will be at both ceremonies. We are lucky that both of our loves have chosen wonderful people to share their lives with.

Thank goodness I've had a year dealing with my daughter's wedding, to help me know what needs to be done and how to get it done for my son's. Thank goodness all of my family lives up in Asheville, NC where the ceremony will take place, and that they have helped in such a way that all is running, so far, very smoothly and we have everything, so far (don't want to jinx anything!) that our young couple has asked for.

Here they are, our loves,

A New Musician Coming Your Way

I don't usually, as you know, publish something like this, however, I'm willing to try anything (almost!) at least once. I'm helping a young artist spread the word about his music and desire to record his first CD. Please check out the link below and watch his video. If you like it, share the link with everyone you know. Even if you can't contribute, if you will share the link with all your friends and family, it can't hurt and will only help. "Word of mouth" is always the best way to get noticed... right? Right! So go for it. I hope you enjoy his video and what he wants to accomplish as much as I do. As a writer, I can feel/imagine what he wants to create...

Z is for La Zoom Bus!

Over the weekend, Saturday night to be exact, we were in Asheville, North Carolina to celebrate my brother and sister in laws’ birthdays/anniversary. They rented the La Zoom Tour Bus and chose the “Haunted Tour” for this event. There were 38 of us on board and because it was a private party we let loose and had a great time! Ask anyone on the streets that night how loud we were! Every time our "host" (a werewolf) said "Thomas Wolfe" we all howled, which happened every time we passed people on the sidewalks or partaking on the patios of restaurants. I love the idea behind this tour. We were treated to comedy, theatrics, history (sort of) lessons of interest, and a wild ride on an old revamped, artistically painted purple school bus.

If you have a chance to partake of this tour while in Asheville, it will give you a whole other side of that beautiful city than the “Biltmore” visit, which is also awesome in a different more serious way. I found it a wonderful subject to write about for the last day of the A-to-Z Blogging Challenge. What a way to end this amazing and insightful blogging challenge. I thank all of you who have graced my blog with your presence, and those who have chosen to follow me and keep up our relationship. I will keep in touch with those I’ve found, and because I’ve copied the list, will continue to visit all those that participated this year.

Here is the link for you to check out if you’d like.
