We went to Africa yesterday morning.  We arrived at 9:30 am, before most other tourists.  The VIPS are allowed in a half hour early, while the plain folk have to wait until ten to arrive.  We roamed amongst the lions and elephants.  We dug and looked for fossils.  We went on a safari bus and […]

I met Laurie last year at her sister, Rebecca’s wedding.  We met again, so I could interact more with Laurie and her soon-to-be husband, Greg, for their engagement pictures.  Laurie told me about her wedding–ever since her parents moved into their house in the country, she had always wanted her wedding reception in their backyard, […]
