Sad and happy times

 

Even on a long sad journey to the funeral of a dear friend's son, we found beauty. Priscilla and I drove to tiny Iuka, Mississippi and spotted this little tiny church. 

 

We pulled over to stretch our legs on the Natchez Trace to find Indian mounds. 

 

It was a wild and isolated area. 

 

Thought I would post a picture of Kathy and her sweet John. He will be missed deeply. 

 

Candy had a birthday and I gave her little mini bulbs. When I visited a few days later, look at what happened! 

 

Down to the last week before wedding. Tying up loose ends. Cool cake stand. 


Some of the rugs we will use. 

 

Called in some professional palates to create the signature cocktail. Mary Grace, Ryan and I experimented until we found the perfect simple pink drink. Bubbly, fun and sweet. Sounds like someone you would want as a friend. Ryan found pink navel oranges to garnish. Wish I could think of a cute name for it. Pink navel? No. 

 
 
The flying lanterns came in. They will be released over the lake as a memorial to one of Ivy and Tripp's friends who passed away last year. He should have been at this wedding. Every time Ivy and I tell someone about this, we get teary eyed. Hope it is beautiful.
