A Country Wedding!

Tennessee weddings in the country are something special!

Congratulations to Maria & Kyle!

The wedding was beautiful - from the location, to the weather, to the views, to the décor and of course the bride, all spot on perfect!

Meet Oscar, the weiner dog, AND ring bearer! He performed flawlessly and on cue and even stole a bit of thunder when after delivering the rings to the groom he opted to lay down and curl up on the brides dress train instead of going back to his bed. A great moment and one that you couldn't have scripted any better if you tried -

Maria and Loriann made the cake and the cupcakes, what talent!

OMG, SO darn delicious -

The flowers were all stunning!

I don't know how David pulled it off or where he got all these lovely flowers from but kudos to him for tapping into his feminine side and pulling off this beautiful feat -

It was all perfect!

We had a great time celebrating and SO thankful for getting to be a part of it!

Cheers!

Oops, slipped my mind that I had started this post back in July and it's been sitting in draft since, my bad.

My brother was up for a long weekend visit.  It was his birthday weekend, so we put on our mixology hats to make and enjoy several of these bad Larry's - 

Homemade mint chocolate martinis, right down to the chocolate rims!

OMG, so delicious 🤤!

Happy Memorial Day!

Wishing all a Happy and safe Memorial Day!

HBD Emilie!

Happy Birthday Emilie!

Love you!

HBD Alyssa!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Hibachi Fun!

Saturday night birthday celebration with friends at Ichigo Ichie, a local Franklin Japanese restaurant.

What a fun time!  We had a blast!

Roast duck, fried calamari and sushi to begin with then onto the feast above!

The beers were frosty cold and the food was fresh, delicious and plentiful!

"SUSHI"?!?!  Ah, yes!

Kickoff Celebration!!

Our sister company resigned their partnership with the New England Patriots.  In celebration of the signing, the company had a kickoff celebration on Tuesday morning.

The cafeteria was decorated in red, white and blue, Patriot colors, with balloons and snacks.

Jonathon Kraft, the Patriots president, was on hand, as was alums Joe Andruzzi and Andre Tippett.  Also, "Pat" the Patriot and Patriot cheerleaders!

Jonathon, Joe and Andre spoke to the gathering and discussed the Pat's, their careers and predictions for the upcoming season.

The discussions were followed with meet and greets, picture taking and autograph signings.

It was a great take and nicely done!

New England colored popcorn -

Their (4) heavy Superbowl rings!  We were able to handle them, and as you can see don them for an awesome photo op -

Also their (4) Lombardy trophy were also onsite -

Of course a photo or two or three, with signed autographs, of me and the cheerleaders - 

Happy Father's Day!

Wishing my dad and my brother a Happy Father's Day!

Miss and love you both very much.

Wish we were all together on your Tennessee road trip.  Enjoy your visit!

Here are two Daddy Long Legs, which I've named after them...

"Ichigo Ichie—one chance, one encounter"

Yummy yummy!!

A terrific Japanese dinner at Ichigo Ichie last night!

Our regular crew of nine went out to celebrate a birthday.

For starters we had duck, calamari and two different types of sushi, awesome sauce!

The food was delicious.  The chef was fun.  We all had a great time with lots of laughs.  We closed the place and all left with full bellies!

Definitely two thumbs up!
