The Day Approaches
The great day approaches when I marry my lady love, Sandy. Saturday, October 6th, a date we picked out a full year ago. Arrangements are in full swing, and last night Aunt Susan arrived from Maine and is staying with us. Today, my daughters Lynne and Michelle arrive from Northern California, and tomorrow Sandy's son Michael, wife Carolina and daughter Elena, plus Carolina's mom and dad, all arrive from Fairfax, VA.
Friday is the rehearsal at Wayfarers Chapel, and a late lunch for the wedding party at Avila's Restaurant on First Street in Santa Ana -- one of our favorite family Mexican restaurants. After that, the blushing bride Sandy and Aunt Susan are off to get their nails done at Pam and Kim's salon (Sandy even persuaded me to get my nails trimmed and buffed up -- a first for me!!). You'll meet delightful Pam and Kim at the reception.
We'll be going to the Wedding on Saturday in my best man Joe McAleer and Shelly McAleer's big motor home, so you'll see it parked at the Chapel. This is a "return favor" since I was the driver of the same motor home for two of Joe & Shelly's children's weddings -- Leah's and Deena's.
Joe's Garage Auto Museum (no relation to the McAleer's) will be jumping for our wedding party-reception, and in keeping with our Recovery it will be both alcohol-free and sugar-free. Even the cake will be made with non-sugar!!
After the wedding and partying, on October 12th Sandy and I head of to Italy for our two-week Honeymoon. We promise to post many pictures and keep you all up-to-date on that trip, too.
Well, I had my last business trip as a single guy, and keeping with tradition took my camera along -- to New York and Washington, DC. Got some nice pictures, and here's one of Times Square in NYC.
The week before I also had another chance to visit the Eastern Sierra and Bodie, and here are two images from Mono Lake and that old mining town.
