In Search Of

I love weddings. In fact, I love the wedding cake almost more than any other part of the wedding.
I've always had a fondness for the bride and groom wedding cake toppers. Now days, it is not cool and you do not see them on modern day cakes. I have 4 bride and groom cake toppers and would love to have more. Let's face it, if you collect something 4 is not enough.
So, I'm put the word out for my ever growing obsession with rescuing these fading symbols of matrimony.
If you see a bride and groom cake topper at an estate sale or a garage sale.
please let me know. The older the better and under $20.00 the better.

Fall---Dancing Leaves

Carter said the leaves were "DANCING IN THE STREETS"
It's fun to watch the boys enjoy playing with something that doesn't require batteries or gas. All natural free fun. When is the last time you played in the leaves?

A must See for ME!

Not only does it look like a good girl movie.....my Harry is in at as well.

The Bridges of Madison County

We caught the last hour of the movie last night.

If you want to stir up a great debate in my house, than talk about the movie

The Brides of Madison County. We've seen this movie at least 7 or 8 times and even took the time to stop at all the covered bridges when were going through Iowa (which I highly recommend). For some reason though, Chris and I see this movie from two totally different views. His is one of nothing more than a woman who had an affair and mine is one of love and loyalty. Don't you love the the line

"This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime"

I'm most definitely not endorsing having an affair nor do I think it's right but I do think the male view of this movie is way different than the female view. I feel a little bit like Francesca when she says....................... "They fail to see the beauty of it all"

A lot of things that are beautiful so often get over looked every single day.

Take the time today to notice the beauty of what's around you.

Anne Geddes

Last night I had the great privlage of getting to go to an an author event on the plaza. Anne Geddes was in town and I was able to listen to her speak about her life and photographs and then was able to get a copy of her new book "Labor of Love" signed. It was such a great experience. This book is about her life story and I found it very enjoyable to read.

For those that don't Anne she the one that takes all those great pictures of babies that I'm sure you've seen at some point. It was a great time and love the new book.
