reception

had a good time at bubba & melissa's reception last night. there was family , friends, and food for days. aaron was jovial and entertaining as always, as was jackie. i enjoyed bro hitt's conversation, he seems very down to earth. i don't know why that always surprises me that preachers are not just ministers, they also have a wide range of intelligence and engaging personalities. bro johnnie carroll talked of his travels and places he's been to, makes you wish that someday you could do the same but for the joy of leisure, not evangelizing. jen is still as pretty as ever and good company , sis betty said she was not doing well but didn't elaborate. there were many others and faces that were both familiar and new. there are no strangers in these gatherings, everyone knows someone.
as usual we were running late and i failed to grab my camera on my way out the door, so we will have to look forward to when jackie can plug in and post some pictures for us. the couple looked very happy, and we hope for them a very long time of marital bliss, and all the other great stuff that is part of the package if one can weather the storms. many happy days for them is my wish.

New Garden

like many of us, it doesn't like it's roots disturbed.

the hand-me-down plants get a new home, i will try to make them happy here.
