My Rainy Day

At first it was just a drop here and there, next thing I knew, it dumped. Mind you, I didn't mind as I love the rain. It makes things feel fresh and new again. The smell is delicious.

Along with the rain came the thunder and lightning show. The thunder was so loud, if you can imagine bowling party in heaven and with every strike came the lightning.

Kona the dog and Tiger the cat jumped and shivered every time someone bowled a strike. It's another cloudy day and we expect more rain which is fine by me. We're on water restriction and most lawns are brown not to mention the ponds need filling.

My niece came over with the photo's from the photographer. The photographer took 700 pictures, trashed about 200 and gave her 500. Of the 500, about 375 are usable and of that, 100 pictures good enough to use in her album and blow up. We both agreed that there were many missed opportunities. The exchanging of rings were the back of their hands and the first kiss is the back of her head. Never fear I was there to capture the lip lock and caught both his and her ring exchange. I have about a dozen pictures of the flower girl compared to their 2. You know in the back of my mind, I thought I need to be inside guiding the guest to the reception and bar area that the photographer has it under control. After seeing the results, I wish I was outside helping with the pictures. When I compare her photographer to my daughters, there is no comparison. My daughters pictures came out way better for a lesser cost. I warned my niece in the beginning not to use that photographer even though she's a friend of her moms. I felt she was priced too high, well it's too late now :(

My husband came home not long after that, she grabbed him to the couch while they laughed and reminisced over the pictures. We still haven't given her a wedding gift, we want to take our time to let things settle before we decide what to give them. My husband and I are very close to her, she's like our second daughter and she and my daughter are like sister's. She gave my daughter fair warning that she had better hurry and get pregnant before the end of next year because after that, she's going for it. Ohhh the pressure my daughter is feeling.

Time to end.

Have a bloggy day!
