The Arrival of Someone New

Here is little someone new in our family. He is a rescue kitty, who was found with a sniffy cold, and had to take meds to get better. He is perfect now. He was only One and a half pounds on his visit to the vet, and was perhaps 6 weeks old.

Mary of the Angels Church Chicago

St. Mary of the Angels Church in Chicago has quite an enjoyable website with a video on the restoration of the church. This church churns out weddings, one after another when the sky is blue, and probably when it is not. Besides being breath- takingly beautiful the resident musicians provide music befitting such a place.

The Bridesmaid and the Flower Girls

The most precious little girls, nieces of The Bride, carried a chain of orchids in their auntie's wedding. Sometimes sister Carolyn tried to keep them in line. We do not have a picture of Carolyn or the other dressed up children, all on best behavior for the festivities. Here Suzie is a bridesmaid in yellow silk, with a bouquet of white and yellow lisianthus and baby's breath.

The Wedding Guests

The wedding guests came from far and near, but mostly far, and some even further. Bernice and Tara were there, but no picture of Bernice, and there are no pictures of the men!

The Wedding

Here are some photos of pretty Suzie, pretty Emma and pretty sisters and sisters in law of the bride. And of course, The Bride and Groom.

The Museum - The Art Institute of Chicago

Here are some highlights of our visit to the Art Museum of Chicago.
The museum is pretty big so you have to look at the maps and plan out where you want to go. We went to see European paintings and the Impressionists, mostly. But we did walk around the beautiful building. Alan took pictures of me outside.

At the end of our tour we found the American Collection. We took pictures of each other with some famous paintings.

Anniversary Party

What better way to celebrate your anniversary, than to invite the bridesmaids for a party? And the main event must be, eating a scrumptuous cake. This cake came from The Dessert Works in Norwood MA.

The guests who enjoyed the party, were Lenore and Kathy, the best bridesmaids, Grammy, Suzie and Alex were there, and Steve, Stenni and Emilie came too. One bridesmaid was missing.
