Unforgettable

"If there was ever going to be a Harris wedding, this is exactly how I pictured it."

Devin's words and our thoughts precisely. Laura's wedding did not go off without a hitch. Instead there were numerous fiascos and incidents that interfered with our original plans and performances. Firstly, it rained... and rained... and rained. Not a big deal for an indoor wedding, but for our outdoor wedding, whoa boy! Big deal. Secondly, bickering within and outside the family. The groom's parents had essentially disappeared when it came time to rehearse and the minister had an air of a dictator. Thirdly, the ren-faire was not an option to celebrate afterwards (what with all the rain and bickering).

Still, we managed to have a very unforgettable wedding. Laura and her groom were married and everyone was happy, soaking wet and all. Even all the brothers managed to calm down and politely seat themselves in the draping renaissance themed outfits.


17 Umbrella's........... $78
6 King-size tarps..... $100
4 Bales of hay.......... $20
Remembering the day your sister was married during a torrential down-pour...... Priceless.
There are a few things money can buy, and for the rest, there's the Harris'.

A moment of silence please.

This past weekend, Frank passed away. It was while I was away in MD, and so I did not get too say my good-byes. Kiki was watching over him and it seems he picked the peverbial bucket during the night after a healthly meal of crickets.

He was a good frog. Never caused trouble and enjoyed his meager surroundings. Even though his presence made very little impact on my daily life, he will be missed....

And by God, it does taste just like chicken!
