A Vintage Wedding

With the NBA season over, I’m stuck with the E! Channel and their roster of “stars”.  It is important to enclose that word in parentheses because I am talking about the Kardashians.  Kim’s lavish ceremony certainly got people talking, with one blogger calling it “America’s answer to the Royal Wedding.”  THAT raised a lot of pencil-thin eyebrows. 

However, I find beauty in simplicity, so I am partial to low-key, solemn ceremony with a touch of vintage.  These are some lovely pictures of a Vintage Wedding.

Calling Captain Planet

Some bad, really BAD people are out to destroy the beauty that is Palawan.  We’re talking about mining here, folks.  Onlyselfish, uncaring individuals want to see the destruction of a natural wonder for cheap money.

It only takes a few minutes to get the word out.  It could take a lifetime to rebuild these islands.

So what are you going to do?

First Death Anniversary

It has been a year since our grandma left us.  She was God's gift to us, and was very much a part of our lives...from our idyllic childhood to the time we left home to try our hand at independence.  I will never forget her last gift to me: a promise that she kept.  She told  me a month before that she was going to see me on my birthday.  She had been in the ICU for almost a week and had not opened her eyes for days, but when I came to see her on my birthday (I was telling her what we had for lunch), she opened her eyes and looked straight at mine.  She kept her promise even though she was too weak by then.


Three days later, she died in a hospital room surrounded by family.


The words I wrote for her epitaph are my heart's gift to dear old Lola.  


Love always, love forever.
