There was a rumor floating around Katie and Joe's wedding that Michael Phelps was there, doubling as a waiter. Amazing how he could be both in the pool in China and in Connecticut at the same time. Didn't seem to matter to the bridesmaids.

Katie and Joe

Some of the memorable moments from Katie and Joe's wedding at Water's Edge.

Another glorious August day (can you remember an August when the weather's been more perfect?). Congratulations to both of you and your lovely families.

Kristen and Kevin

Catching up just a bit, August 9th was a very special night in more ways than one. On a perfectly beautiful August evening Kristen and Kevin celebrated their nuptials on the water at the Inn at Longshore . Incredible flowers, once again, by my good friends Chris and Peter of Elegant Effects.  Couldn't have been a more splendid day. Congratulations to both of you and your families.  And what you didn't know was that in addition to Kevin's folks celebrating their anniversary that day, it was also Liz and my anniversary (and a pretty big one too). And while we obviously weren't together that day we were certainly with each other in spirit and anticipating our September anniversary celebration for five nights in Napa.  So congrats, K&K.

Can't think of anyone-other than Liz- that I would have wanted to have spent August 9th with and I look forward to years and years of celebrating our mutual anniversaries.

Eighty-five years young.

Pretty hard to believe, but today dad turned 85 years old, but then if you knew him you'd also find it unbelievable. No one has more energy, more zest for life, more interest in discovering new things, more friends,  more great-grandchildren, more love to give or more love showered upon him on a daily basis from all of his friends, family and admirers. We love you very much, dad and wish you the most amazing day! Wish we could be with you and hope to see you soon.

 

The Competition

Lots of catching up to do on the blog front, but thought I'd share this one little amazing moment of yours truly and "the competition". We all know how competitive it can be out there, but this is truly ridiculous. I won't be intimidated, I won't be intimidated, I won't be intimidated...  photo: Jim Grout
