The Wedding

My Current 10 Favs Include more than one person.

1) I love Kilts and Best Brothers – and yes the kilt was worn au naturel as demanded by tradition.

2) I love the women who make my sons happy! Heidi who has been married to

Tom for 9 years and says she could not have had a more perfect husband, and

Mary Beth or MB who has just married my son in the Kilt.

3) I love that both men are good men, well regarded, who love laughter and

general silliness and are devoted to their wives.

4) I loved this wedding that was so laid back that when the minister asked what

symbols they brought to signify their love, the bride answered our rings..but

they are in the other room. Yes everyone chuckled and waited while the maid

of honor set off to retrieve them.

5) I love my exhusband who gave a wonderful speech about his son and even

the exe’s wife who to my knowledge had no disparaging remarks to make about

me…at least that I heard.

6) I love my son, the groom, Ryan, who believes in his roots and family and

who wore a kilt to honor my mothers family the Jenkins.

7) I love my son Thomas for his devotion to his family, his crazy humor, and

his wild appreciation of life.

8) I love MB’s family who have taken Ryan as one of their own.

9) I love my sister Jane who provides more support than she can ever know.

And yes the bra..when she saw my perfect dress she said a strapless bra would

be perfect. I do not have one I said. Yes! you do she said as she whipped

her dress off and promptly gave me hers. Right there. Right then!

10) I love my grandsons..Tom and Heidi’s sons who think I am the coolest

grandma in the world..because I tell them so

And really there has to be one more..sorry Mama Kat I know I am breaking the rules.

11) I love every reader, every one of you who comments on my blog. You are the best!

It's been an interesting time adjusting to 'retirement' after a long career in nursing. Forty odd years actually and the challenge has been to try and figure out who I am. It seems that for the largest part of my life I have defined myself as a nurse. More so than a mother, wife etc - you know all those tags we hang on ourselves and for what reason? I am still learning, still searching, and still evolving I guess. At first it all seemed a little confusing, trying to sort out the what and the who and the like. Now it has become a great adventure. I have so many wonderful models that I have met here on Wordpress. It is amazing how close you can feel to those who brave the pages each day or week or month to share a little of themselves.
