Sunday became another wonderful memory which we have tucked into our hearts. Thank you, lovely Amanda Leigh, for choosing us ~ your family!
As for me, I'm back in the Hive this week, cookin' up more honey...I've got a lovely show for which to get ready, some commissioned orders, and an Anniversary this week...43 years with the love of my life, sweet Ron.
For those who might not know this, Ron and I eloped just prior to his fraternity hell night! And they said it wouldn't last...well, it did last and I'm here to tell you that love gets better and better the longer you work at it!
Oh, we did get married in Church a few months later as I don't think my mother would've ever spoken to me again if we didn't! LOL
Have a lovely week, sweet friends. I'll be thinking of you and pinching myself for having such lovely people with which to share my life, virtual and otherwise!
