Eolia Mansion Wedding : Sara and Tim, Harkness Park, Waterford CT

Posted in Weddings

Sara and Tim

I’m not gonna say much here (except when I can’t help myself) and let the pictures tell a story of an amazing day.

Part One of Two:

I wish I could say this little guy was practicing Superman moves, but NO! Took a header on the slopped path at the Amphitheater. I felt my wrist break all over again. Thank goodness some loving and kisses brought him back to rights.

Maddie won my heart-not only her sweet nature thru the day, but as I was leaving she pulled on my hand, very shy, and handed me a calla lilly.

I very nearly cried.

MAZEL TOV!!!

This cake was one of the most beautiful I have seen. Having dappled in cake decorating in my younger days, I was blown away by the detail work.

Simply gorgeous.

Part 2 tomorrow, or when the storms end.

Date: May 1st

Ceremony Location: Eolia Mansion, Harkness Park, Waterford CT

Reception Location: Eolia Mansion, Waterford CT

Caterer: A Thyme to Cook

Cake: Yummy Cakes by Lynn

Flowers: Hoelck’s Florist

Time it was and what a time it was,

Posted in Personal

It was a time of innocence a time of confidences.

Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.

“Bookends” Simon and Garfunkel.

One of my favorite of all the S and G tunes, and a photo from the way back machine.

Rocky passed a few months ago and Mom and Dad miss him terribly.

I remember this day (4-5 years ago) vividly. In a lifetime of beach visits, this day was was perfect. Late summer/early fall. Empty beach, long walks and running dogs. And time alone with my Pop.

Washington DC, Engagement Session, Cherry Blossom Festival

Posted in Weddings

Such a GREAT visit to DC over Easter weekend with the Cherry Blossoms at their peak!

Even tho it started shaky with the train being canceled the night before because of the record flooding in Rhode Island, which made me get on a plane (!) it turned out to be a fabulous weekend in my favorite city. Except maybe Boston.

Had a great visit with Morgan and Jerry with delicious restaurant fare and my first ever Melting Pot experience, but what I really came down for was to see the Cherry Blossoms at their peak and for Emily and Patrick’s engagement session.

Here are a few of DC and Morgan and Jerry; Em and Patrick will be up soon.

Union Station at about 4.45. In the morning. No flash and hand held. Helps when I haven’t had coffee yet. I love trains and their stations.

Morgan and Jerry and it’s a wonder the other half million people didn’t get into their shots. YIKES! Lotsa people.

So rare that I take the time to smell the flowers so these were a real treat for me. So colorful, especially compared to the early Connecticut spring that seems more like hurricane weather with all the rains.
