Just got in about 30 minutes ago from Houston. Left here about 9:30 this
morning and helped the eldest grandson and his lady set up a park
pavillion for their wedding and then attended the wedding.
We furnished red, hidden, and butterfly ginger blooms for the altar plus
other plants, flowers, and ferns. All picked fresh from our gardens this
morning. Granddaughter-in-law and one of her friends did the rest of the
decorating and did a jam up job in going Hawaiian.
Miz Anne made herself an outfit yesterday of flowered bellbottom flowing
trousers and a red top to go with it, she wore a straw hat with a fern
crown around the brim. I wore my red, white, and blue flowered Hawaiian
shirt, khaki trousers, and my summer hat with the flowered hat band
around it. Bride wore a skintight blue satin looking outfit and the
groom wore slacks and a blue and white Hawaiian shirt. Their little girl
wore a flowered dress with matching scarf and carried the rings.
Both of our children and their children were there so we had a mini
reunion too. A good time was had by all of the 60 or 70 friends and
relatives of the bridal couple and we came home exhausted.
I think the flowers contributed to the gardening content but just in
case, our green beans, cucumbers and squash are still producing like
crazy and the heat is around 100F daily with a 96% humidity.
Life is bery, bery good.
