Let us ride together, Blowing mane and hair, Careless of the weather, Miles ahead of care, Ring of hoof and snaffle, Swing of waist and hip, Trotting down the twisted road With the world let slip. Anonymous riding song.
I was obviously born to be a sharp-shooter! I couldn't stand one more sleepless night next to "He Who Snores" and who can't be convinced to use the allergy nasal spray that the doctor prescribed. HWS was asleep, and snoring, when I came to bed so I snuck around, took aim, and got a good shot into one nostril, at least. There was some snorting and nose-rubbing, all without awakening my Prince Charming. I considered the second shot, but didn't think my luck would hold. I slid into my side of the bed, trying not to laugh out loud, and was pleased that the snoring had subsided.
Going to a wedding is usually more of an obligation than a pleasure. These grown-up friends of ours were anything but boring. (Please note clown nose).
The ring bearer was very cute. His handler was under instructions to prevent him cocking his leg on The Dress.
The palm tree was decorated by a nesting Egret colony and a couple of well dressed party crashers snuck in.
Can you guess which one of the above is the Genuine French Chef?
Bride and groom donned blindfolds for competitive cake decorating. We suspect the groom of cheating. What do you think?
It wasn't all goofing around. There were some teary eyes when the bride arrived on her Uncle's arm to the sound of Celtic Thunder - A Bird Without Wings.
If I were a tree, I would be a London Plane. I am gregarious but enjoy solitude. I am English in my heart and soul, but still have room for other nations. I have lived in six countries and picked up a French husband along the way. We have a wonderful, kind, strong-minded daughter who has become a "Human of whom to be proud". I am a magnet for the lost. I foster collies (and collie cousins and the occasional, accidental, cat or crow). Those I have saved have saved me in return. I notice the world around me and often talk to strangers. Traveling alone is interesting, liberating and fulfilling. I am good at most things that I undertake but have few formal qualifications. I am able to have and treasure friends with whom I disagree about almost everything. My life is not over. Who knows where I am headed?
