A Weekend Afternoon Remembered


Bridle House, Roanoke, VA- June 11, 2011

Before the afternoon...
We spent the morning with my daughters wedding dress. The train of her dress reminded me of perfect whipped cream, with a bit of appliqued lace. Bits of the bodice reminded us of fragile phyllo dough. It had a row of buttons up the back that neither of us remembered. It is just a fantastic dress. 

We arrived home to a flourish of helpful friends and a wonderful husband. All things were in place by 12:55 and guests started to arrive promptly at 1.





With lunch prepared the men took off to a near by brew pub. 
A house filled with what a house loves to be filled with- 
love and laughter.
 

She glowed while receiving enough books to start a small library. 
Each book inscribed and circling her with good words and love.

Party Remnants

This celebration allowed many people the opportunity to bless a young woman as she moves toward a new place. I am grateful to everyone for their love and their help.
I was able to even find small heart for my other blog-
(Our Wild Hearts)

Presently


NYC-NY-May 14, 2011

Heading toward July 23, 2011

In November I went with her to try on dresses In a Room Called Grace.

Words to describe my part in the process might be 
careful, awkward, tenuous, tentative, measured,
followed by prayerfulness

some more prayerfulness

always prayerfulness

Blogger is insisting that prayfulness is not a word- which I find very amusing. 

We had a lovely day in New York City.
We arrived via train to Penn Station 




 
and took a cab up to the home where the party was being held




And then we saw her standing in between the traffic -
 waiting for us and talking with a friend.
I am the mother of a 30 year old daughter 
and my heart still sings when I see her. 

What a wonderful celebration for the future bride and groom!

No Apologies



Spare Bedroom, Blacksburg VA-  A long time ago

I keep this basket of comfort -

it makes me smile.


Yellow Baby, Cloud Pillow, Raggedy Anne, Rocky Raccoon-
just to name a few.

stay


While I go 
and visit.
