The dining room table has flowers for you. Alstroemeria like I carried at our wedding, but dark pink. Plus culinary ways to a man’s heart. Spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, your favorite. Tortilla chips and salsa. Dr. Pepper with real Imperial sugar, and some funky pink grapefruit soda for you to try.
Cocktail pumpernickel bread with thinly sliced radishes, warm unsalted butter and salt a la James Beard for tomorrow evening before our event. I’ll even use my cutters for fluted rounds to decorate.
I braved the holiday crowds for you, dear and they were pretty scary. Even parking was an adventure. btw, you haven’t told me your ten movie choices yet, though I know Star Wars 4-6. Let me guess. Anything by the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen. The Queen, and Memoirs of a Geisha. I nailed it! Way to go, Dee!

Something old was my great-aunt Owee’s wedding pearls; new, earrings from Jackie; borrowed, a pearl and gold bracelet from Jackie; and blue, the silk ribbon holding the flowers. The flowers were a gift from Joan H. She and Jackie were witnesses and Joan’s husband Jim officiated and wrote our vows. Six years next month! Seems like yesterday but my hairdresser says there’s more gray….
I love your picture. You are radiant!
I guess men don’t read this blog. This was a test. Bronte sisters, Jane Austen, Memoirs of a Geisha??? All movies/books I know and love but no computer geek would like them. Star Wars, yes.
Ha ha. I fell for it…I read those titles and thought, “Wow, Jim really has varied tastes in movies!”
Love your wedding pic.
Finally, someone got it. Let’s add anything by Merchant-Itory to his list. More “real guy” movies. Merry, Christmas, girlfriend.
