Greg's Wedding

"Man down - Man down". That is the typical joke from the single guys when a buddy gets married. However, in Greg's case, it is all good as they are both happy and a perfect fit for each other. Other than Janelle being a Redskins fan and Greg getting dropped on his head as a baby and being a cowboys fan. But I am sure their minister has been helping them with that! :)

First of all, it was at a very nice country club mansion. Had that "old school money" feel to it and its was very nice, tasteful, and really well kept. Here as some pics of the place.
It was a beautiful day. High 80's and the sun was bright and right on us. Not normally a problem, but the minister was a bit late. A lot late. So we all got a little extra sun in. A lot of folks wore black or dark outfit (mostly guys) and it got real hot. After 15-20 minutes, Pat got the bright idea to stand under the tree and search for shade. That started the stampede and next thing you know, 10-15 folks were with us. We hung out, talked to Greg's family and friends, and waited for the minister to arrive. Here is a picture of Pat.
Next thing you know, the music changes and we scatter for our seats. Greg with his best man, and his lovely bride to be, Jenelle. with her father.


The wedding went along with out a hitch. The inside of the mansion was nice and bright and open. Being the dork I am , I forgot to charge my camera, so that's about it for the pictures.

The rest of the afternoon was great. A very nice reception, followed by dinner, drinks, dancing and everyone had a great time. The wedding party all did funny dancing on the way in and it was a hit. We stayed pretty much to the end. Not sure about that garter belt thing! Jenelle is a big redskins fan. So there may have been some trickery in that. I will have to talk to her and see after they get back from their honeymoon.

Greg will surely have more pictures when he returns.

It was one of the nicest weddings I have attended and both Greg and Jenelle (mostly Jenelle Greg says) did a terrific job and performed the planning and work themselves. It was a work of love and it showed.

Rainy Day

That old saying. A rainy day at the beach, beats any way at work or home.





Is True!

Week 2 - Can we do it?

Yes. Two weeks at the beach is awsoom. the first week is getting settled, groceries, etc. Plus the days of driving there, unpacking, etc. You really have to learn to relax. Here is Rusty honing his skills.



and just chilling to see if we can go for a walk.

Back to Normal


Woke up to a fabulous morning. Bright and shinny and sunny. Looks like it will be a nice and hot day. The surf is still a little high, but that is ok.

The Weekend

Turned out pretty nice. Saturday was hot and sunny and the surf action was great. I spent the time watching football and Nascar and got a little sun. Pat got a lot of sun and watched no TV. We both drank a number of adult beverages. A perfect compromise.

Sunday was overcast and rainy in the AM. The sun came out in the afternoon and the surf was very rough and the rip tide was dangerous. We spent the day in and out and I again watched a lot of football. My fantasy teams were killed and I need to look on the wire for some new players.

Rough Water

Today is a beautiful day. Nice and hot in the AM. We chilled on the deck for a few hours and are now watching the surf come in. It has picked up and the surf is rough and white-capping. There is a storm out in the atlantic and hopefully will not grow. But something is up.
