First Dance

Introducing... Austin & Linda Lan


Happy wedding guests at Meadowlark Gardens

Another busy weekend started on Friday evening at B Family Fun Night hosted by John's brother, Mike, and his wife, Diane. Burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, cucumber salad, chips, watermelon, german chocolate cake and apple pie were on the menu (YUM!). Diane's stepfather showed off his newly acquired Corvette.

Saturday, we headed down to the Leonardtown beach house. Mike & Diane and their kids, Joss and Griff, were already there and we were later joined by my friend, Susan, who came down for the day. While Mike and John tried to get the boat started, Susan and I went out to a couple nearby antique shops. When we returned to the house, we had some leftover Texas Caviar and chips and then enjoyed some yummy crabs, steamed shrimp, burgers and dogs. After dinner, we took a walk down towards the pier, watermelon slices in hand. Susan described the watermelon as a "little slice of summer". How appropriate! It was a beautiful evening and Susan got some pix of the osprey that had built a nest on top of the tv antenna on someone's roof. After a round of ping pong in the clubhouse, we bid Susan goodbye.

Sunday started very slowly but we headed home at 11:45. We got dressed and headed out to Little Linda's wedding, which was held in Virginia at Meadowlark Gardens. The wedding was to take place outdoors, but it was so hot that afternoon they had it inside the atrium. It was a lovely ceremony and we enjoyed seeing our friend, Randy (aka Mangey), who was the wedding photographer. Nate was a dancin' machine that evening. My digital camera couldn't keep up with his moves, so I have no photos of him in action. LL and Austin looked so happy and are a wonderful couple.

Monday, John took the day off due to the late Sunday night. We headed out to take care of some personal business (more details to come), run some errands and buy stuff to prep for a bbq with our parents. We had some lunch, went to Target to buy stuff for the beach house bathroom makeover, to Home Depot and Lowes to look for flooring and the grocery store. We had a very nice evening with our folks but were sad to return to the reality of having to go to work the next day (or in my case, returning to the job hunt!).

Must go dig out my old PC now and look for some writing samples to send to one of the recruiters. Have a good one!
