A Wedding! I Love Weddings!
Friday, May 16, 2008 at 09:44PM 
TG and I are headed off to Atlanta on Saturday to attend the wedding of my beloved cousin, Donna's, daughter Amy. We plan to spend the night, then go to church and out for lunch on Sunday with my dearest childhood friend, Lisa.
By the way, the relationship of Amy, the bride, to me is not second cousin! As the child of my first cousin, she is my first cousin once removed.
Just so you know and don't go around all weekend saying "Jenny's in Atlanta for the wedding of her second cousin!"
I'll winkle a promise out of another wedding guest to send me theirs. I'm awfully good at winkling!
How I love my cousin Donna. She's someone I wish you all could meet and get to know. When our daughter, Stephanie, married in 2001, I don't know what I would have done without Donna being there to lend moral support. Donna, if you are reading, which I doubt (but sometimes, happily, she does), thanks again for that, doll ... you know I loves ya! Can't wait to spend tomorrow rejoicing and celebrating with you and Dale, and of course the radiant Amy and the lucky David.
Unfortunately Audrey took my camera with her to Chicago this week. Consequently I do not have it and will be unable to share pictures I myself took, but I'll winkle a promise out of another wedding guest to send me theirs. I'm awfully good at winkling!
Meantime, below I have left two little pieces of writing that I hope you like. These happen to be recent submissions (of mine) to the literary site Six Sentences. I wrote them this week and just felt like running them by y'all.
Far Above Rubies was inspired by a snippet of dream I had this morning in the precious dozing moments I enjoyed right after TG left for work. He smells so good when he kisses me goodbye, it always sets me dreaming.
Windy City Wishing is ... well, it's just what it is! A little story.
Until Monday ... later y'all!

Shame about the camera, but don't you have a cell phone you can take pictures with? Mine actually produces quite decent snapshots - many of the pics on my blog were taken with it!
Have a good time in Atlanta!
I've tagged you with a little challenge for when you get back home.
Good idea but you know what? I just got a phone a few months ago that doubles as a camera, but I was too cheap to by the data cord that would suck the pics out of the camera and put them on the computer! LOL! Your camera phone does take very good pictures!
How lovely about your cousin, Donna! I have some fantastic relatives myself (and also some in the other category) so I can relate. I knew you would enjoy the wedding!
And I enjoyed your two shorts that you left us with. Both hit the spot and came full circle with me. Both were my type of stories. Wonderful description!
Aw, thanks for that, Keli! I enjoy your blog immensely. You make me laugh.
Audrey took the camera to Chicago where she did NOT take pix of Johnny! AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
I know! RATS! He was arriving as she was leaving! Timing is everything after all.
