An autumn wedding

It's hard to believe my sister's wedding has come and gone. The weekend that we prepared for for over a year went by so quickly. It was elegant, simple and beautiful. All the families got along well, many stories were told, tears shed and memorable toasts made. These moments were caught with the expert eye of Lindsay's best friend, an excellent Atlanta-based photographer named Angela Georges (also known for one of my favorite blogs "My Daily Struggle"). She even caught my dad in his pajamas opening his bedroom door to tell all the "kids" to "keep it down!" on the night before the wedding during some late-night revelry. I will spare him the humiliation of posting that photo and other incriminating evidence caught digitally.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
