I’ve been absent from my writing world for a bit here… I was having fun preparing for and celebrating my daughter’s wedding with plenty of family in town and lots of meals at our house before, including the rehearsal dinner for 75. I’m cooked out and ready to write and chat with my writer friends around the world! Here’s an informal photo to show how truly beautiful the whole event was.

Cheap wine in Jerusalem? Ancient inscription may dump on the wine but it bolsters the notion of an organized hierarchy in the city of King Solomon. Who knew that wine had so much to tell? I love this kind of historical insight from the mundane tidbits that survive. Link here
Oh the wedding looks like it was a joyous occasion, Judith! What a happy, beautiful bride. Love your daughter’s choice of wedding gown, and you look lovely in your purple dress. Congratulations to all!
Thanks, Cynthia. I loved my daughter’s dress. It was definitely a joyous occasion all around.
Good news to hear about the other important parts of a writer’s life – like her darling daughter. We usually hear only about the nitty gritty writer stuff but where would we be without the lessons and love we have learned from our children? Congratulations and may all be happy.
