We stayed in the small village of Lauterbrunnen while in the Alps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the most perfect little Swiss village with its gingerbread chalets, lush green pastures with cows, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
windy paths and surrounded by snow capped mountains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every chalet was the traditional style with ornamental cutouts and window and rail boxes stuffed with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Geraniums that were mostly red. </div>

During our three days in Lauterbrunnen, we took walks down different paths after getting back from the other villages and tours. I feel like I am continually repeating myself, but there are no other words to describe what we saw, it was all just so beautiful.<br />

We ate dinner in our hotel's small restaurant for our last meal in Switzerland. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The menu was very simple and traditional Swiss. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Swiss food is delicious, but very heavy on cheese, meat and potatoes. I guess they burn off the calories with all of their trekking and activities. </div>

One of the days while staying in Zurich, we took a train to Bern which was about an hour ride.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were told the train system in Switzerland was superb and easy and it was. We sat in the upper car, second floor, in red velvet(ish) recliners. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bern was beautiful and very different from Zurich. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Medieval, with its many watch towers and stone walls. </div>

The most famous landmark in Bern is the medieval clock tower <a href="https://www.bern.com/en/detail/clock-tower-zytglogge"> (Zytglogge)</a>. We did a tour of the inside of it. It was really interesting to see the original designs and mechanisms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were up inside when the clock struck on the hour and it was fun to peep out and watch the crowd looking up at us as the rooster crowed, the bears dance and the jester juggled. </div>

Bern has one long main street lined with some really neat shops and places to eat. I literally could've stayed in the ribbon shop for hours. I didn't buy anything because I wanted it ALL and couldn't narrow down what I wanted most. We caught the train back to Zurich after wandering Bern for a bit and having our usual snack - a charcuterie board, but with humus this time. </div>

The next morning we packed up our bags and headed towards Lauterbrunnen, a small town in the Swiss Alps. We had a driver that new the area like the back of her hand and she detoured and made stops to show us things that we would have never found on our own. </div>

Our first stop was in Lucerne. It was cold and rainy so we did not stay the entire two hours that was planned. I would have loved to wander around and explore more of Lucerne, because it was my kind of place....it was full of lots and lots of beautiful flowers! The Chapel Bridge is Lucerne's claim to fame along with the Lion Monument. </div>

After Lucerne, we drove through so many little towns and villages and I couldn't name them or tell you where we were if my life depended on it. Melanie, our driver put up with me asking all kinds of cultural questions as we twisted and turned up into the alps. I would rather know about the every day culture of the places I travel than to hear about all of the history. I have all of the scoop on Swiss holidays, Christmas family traditions, every night dinners, the school system, school lunches, weddings and even their funerals. </div>

paprika potato chips and a filled gingerbread cookie. Melanie told me you would find these cookies in a lot of childrens' lunch boxes. Pretty much it is a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie, but gingerbread. </div>

Our last stop before getting to <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Lauterbrunnen </span>was the Gelmer Funicular.</div>

It is the steepest funicular in Europe - and we were nervous about that. </div>

It was crazy how one second we could not see anything at all but fog and the next second was a crazy blue lake, cliffs and even a few buildings we walked by and didn't even see them. </div>

Time has its way of taking advantage of good intentions. </div>

I have set blog goals and blog restart days/weeks many times, but never lived up to my own expectations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have said many times here, that I started blogging to document my family and it makes me so mad that I dropped that ball for a few years, but all I can do is move forward now and perhaps play a little catch up along the way. </div>

After we rested a bit and showered, we got acclimated with the area around us and that evening we met our guide for a private Zurich food tour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peter took us down some of the most beautiful streets in Zurich as we made our way to our three different stops. </div>

Our first stop was our "appetizer stop". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peter ordered us the Swiss version of a charcuterie board and a Swiss beer sampler. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure how all `three of us were supposed to share the sampler, but he talked and explained about how the Swiss just pass things around and not think about it. So we shared bevrages with a complete stranger and lived to talk about it. </div>

Second stop was at the oldest Swiss restaurant in Zurich and of course we had fondue as our main course. Basically, we had a pot of boiling cheese and a loaf of bread for dinner and it was delicious. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was given the most authentic recipe for Swiss fondue - maybe I'll share it one day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After stuffing ourselves with fondue, we walked to the most unique gelato shop. I had a cup of ginger, black pepper and brown sugar gelato. </div>

The next day, we wandered Zurich. Zurich is not a large city and it is very walkable. It may have some history, but Hubs and I did not take it upon ourselves to worry about learning it. We walked, ate, drank and shopped. We even bought some souvenirs from the fancy designer stores!</div>

SWISS CHOCOLATE </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, absolutely, Swiss chocolate lives up to its name!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stopped in several chocolate shops while in Zurich, they are everywhere. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the most popular chocolatiers is Sprungli. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made quite a few stops in this shop which was luckily very close to our hotel. Every time we walked by, we would get two pieces of chocolate and share them. As a souvenir for our 3 girls we bought them a box of chocolates and I wish we would've bought some for ourselves. BUT, no joke, our hotel had a chocolate cart and everyday the cutest little man would knock on our door and ask us if we wanted anything! We were shy and well mannered the first time, but the second and third, not so much! I'm talking HUGE chocolate bars, six different flavors and we were each welcomed to select several each time. </div>

I didn't know what expect form Swiss food, except for the obvious fondue and potatoes that are served everywhere. Most of our lunches ended up being a Swiss style charcuterie board. I loved that they serve vegetables with it, especially the pickled pearl onions. Veal was on every menu we saw. I cannot get over where veal comes from so I had a hard with that, but Hubs ordered it several times.</div>

I tasted it and it was really good. </div>

We hadn't had our fill of fondue just yet and so we went for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, a pot of melted cheese and a loaf of bread for dinner again, but at least we ordered the side of pickled veggies to go along with it. That's healthy, right? </div>

There are A LOT of crazy time consuming things going on in our house right now. Christmas was very restful - which is the opposite of what it usually is. Once the holidays were over, our schedule morphed into fifth gear and we are just trying to get to the finish line right now. We are in the thick of things, mainly planning another wedding - YES, <i>another</i> wedding! It is in May. (More on this later.) Also for some reason, we thought it would be a <i>great</i> idea to start doing some updating and redoing around our house. My dance card is full!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I <i>am</i> going to finish up Brittany's wedding before I move on to the other things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the ceremony, the reception was held just three miles away at a near by country club. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did not do a plated meal at the reception. Instead we did a strolling dinner/stations reception. As the guests arrived and started filling the ballroom, there were passed hors d'oeuvres and a large fruit and cheese station opened. The band was playing soft jazz and standards as background music. Each guest did have a seat, but were encouraged to mix and mingle by the layout of the stations, lots of cocktail tables mixed in among the regular tables and more passed hors d'oeuvres as the night went on. The heavier stations opened up casually and slowly throughout the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stations:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
spring salad in martini glasses</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
duck and lamb sliders</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seared tuna</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mashed potato bar in martini glasses with toppings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
beef carving station</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pasta station </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were a lot of touches of the subtle bumble bee / "meant to be" theme scattered around the reception. Some of the frames were a honeycomb pattern, the cake also had a honeycomb pattern and a tiny bumble bees on one layer and we printed and framed sayings for the cocktail tables. The escort cards had the same bee wax seal as the invitations did and I even found small wooden beehives that I painted gold and they were place here and there on the reception tables. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6AM came too early!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lord have mercy - that was a quick sleepless night!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because our church is just down the road, we decided it was a good idea </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to have all of the bridesmaids come to our house to get ready. When I signed off on this, I did not realize that meant that hair and make-up would begin at 8AM! We also decided to have the groomsmen come here after getting ready because Brittany and B wanted to do their first look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here and then we wanted to do as many wedding party photos as possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am very traditional and was not sure about the first look. I thought it took away from the anticipation of the whole wedding day. Now that I have the photos to look at and have lived through</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the whole experience, I am a fan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was a whole other layer of work added to wedding day prep because of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
having everyone come to our house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just think, I had a photographer and videographer in my house all day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Lord have mercy! ) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I had to worry about the house being (somewhat) cleaned AND picked up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Those are two completely different things.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another southern tradition Brittany and Mr. B really were excited to do was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"burying the bourbon". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
According to southern folklore, if a bottle of bourbon is buried upside down exactly one month from the date of the wedding, you will have good wether on your wedding day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right before leaving for the church, the bourbon was dug up and shared with the bridal party. </div>

I guess we were having too much fun at home and forgot that we had a wedding to get to -</div>

there was a bit of a scramble towards the end and we had to smush Brittany</div>

into the back of the car very quickly.</div>

While everyone is posting Thanksgiving and Christmas prep pictures, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still here chugging </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
right along trying to play catch up on Brittany's wedding! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a lot of fun reliving it and I get caught up in all of the pictures while going through them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Friday after the Bridesmaids' Luncheon, we had a few hours to get the last little things together before heading to the rehearsal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brittany and Mr. B got married at our church which is just under three miles from our house. It is also the church where Brittany, Brooke and Barrett went to preschool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who would have thought that the very sidewalk I carried her down in a baby carrier, the one she skipped down wearing her smocked dresses and rubber toed Keds would be the same one she walked down in her wedding gown over twenty-five years later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did not have a wedding planner, I took that task on myself. (Go Me!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our church did have a church coordinator that was required to be there and work with our pastor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so the rehearsal was a piece of cake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so nice to just sit and watch and it was <strike>probably</strike> the first time I sat all day! </div>

Our photographer took Brittany and Mr. B outside for some photos after the rehearsal<br />
because the lighting was extra special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Years ago, this is the exact spot I would take Brittany to feed Rainbow the horse sugar cubes and carrots. She lived in the field beside the church. I cannot count how many pictures I have of Brittany, Brooke and Barrett half way over that fence with their hands reached out with treats for Rainbow. <br />

They welcomed everyone to the church and handed out programs.</div>

They also are great dancers and lived on the dance floor!<br />

Brittany wanted to go with the tradition of giving Mr. B a groom's cake at the rehearsal dinner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a simple round cake made and decorated with green icing that looked like grass. Mr. B has been given the nickname "Squatch" by his friends, which is short for Sasquatch. The nickname comes from his workout regimen - he is really into it! We found someone to make little figurines of a bride and groom Sasquatch and even dressed the groom in Mr. B's favorite pair of shorts. I made the banner and sign and Brittany found the unicorn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(There is some kind of inside joke about a unicorn - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not sure I really want to know what it is!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, the cake almost didn't make it to the rehearsal dinner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We sat the box it was in on our kitchen table, forgetting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that for several hours during the afternoon it would be sitting directly in the sun! Right before leaving for the rehearsal we discovered that the icing had melted and slid off the sides of the cake! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Ruh Roh!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I salvaged it and put it back together the best I could. I scraped off what icing was left on the side of the cake, whipped it all together and then re-iced the side. </div>

Thank goodness this was not the main dessert!<br />

I've noticed that no-one comments on blogs anymore, me included. I guess blogs need to come with a "LIKE" button! I am trying to make sure I do leave a short comment on the blogs I read regularly and say something on the posts I enjoy reading.<br />
Let me know you visited my blog and read this!<br />
I love reading your comments.<br />

I woke up that morning not believing that the wedding weekend </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was finally (already!) here. It was very hard to believe that the day we had been </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
planning for over a year was actually happening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The luncheon was held at a small restaurant in downtown</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Raleigh in a historical southern building known for it's tall windows, high ceilings, ornate molding </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and beautifully worn wood floors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brittany's two aunts and cousin were the hosts.</div>

The luncheon was held in the back private room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The florist that did the wedding did the floral arrangements here also</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and used Brittany's wedding floral colors, small white pumpkins and a burlap runner on the table. </div>

Brittany wanted to include as many southern traditions as possible in her wedding events and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a charm pull was a must for her. Charm or ribbon pulls originated back in the victorian days. The bride, or nowadays the baker, places silver charms with ribbons attached to them into a cake. The bridal party stands around the cake, selects a ribbon and everyone pulls the charms out of the cake at the same time. The charms are all different and are symbols of good luck and good fortune. So if you pulled the ring, it would mean you were the next to get married. A heart means you will find love soon, and of course, there is the dreaded stork which means there is a baby coming soon! None of these girls wanted that one!</div>

You guys, we were so fortunate to have <a href="http://jillianknight.com/">Jill</a> as our photographer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is the one on the right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a friend of Brittany's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were so lucky she was able to come every event and take photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look her up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She travels! </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brittany's bridal shower was at our home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Barrett was beyond excited to take on this task and in fact insisted on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is so good and has so much fun planning events. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The theme and decor was based around the classic blue and white chinoiserie pattern,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with some pink, green and white touches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Barrett had ultimate say in everything. She made the banner, tissue flowers, worked with Brooke </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(the other sister who is a graphic artist) with the invitations. She also came up with menu </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and did the food prep. While she was busy with all of the baking and mixing, I did all of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decorating and set up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I set up this little display of some of Brittany's baby things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is her dress and shoes she wore home from the hospital along with the gold bangle </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her daddy gave her. (Yes, he gave all three girls a gold bangle to wear home from the hospital! Sweet, right?) Also, there was her silver spoon, fork and cup - I even polished them! A picture of her in the hospital all dressed to come home and another picture of her "playing wedding" when she was about two was there too. </div>

It makes me so sad that my mom is not here to enjoy her grandgirls </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
growing up and being a part of things like their showers and weddings. My mom </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
died in 2010 (I still cannot believe it) from breast cancer. She was a HUGE part of their lives and loved them so much. She would have loved every minute of all of these events and would have loved rolling up her sleeves and helping. She made the best souther banana pudding and it was the girl's favorite thing about going to her house. She taught all of them how to make the custard from scratch and how to slice the bananas just right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, we wanted to include banana pudding at the shower, but wanted to have individual servings of it instead of a big dish of it sitting on the table. We found these small paper baking cups that were perfect for this! </div>

I hope that the <strike>third</strike> tenth time is a charm. I have written this post several times</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and even posted it before I realized that, for some reason, only photos were showing up and no words. I have tried over and over for several days! Nothing I write shows up in "saved" either! Fingers crossed that this one IS the post that actually makes it.</div>

Well, anyway, I am so glad to be posting about Brittany's engagement and all things leading up to her wedding day! It is about time right? She and B have almost been married a year! I am glad to be back into blogging and can't wait to share <b><i>all </i></b>one million pictures!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brittany and B started dating in high school, her junior year and his senior. They went to the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Homecoming Dance together way back when and have been together ever since. They had been dating for over ten years when they finally got engaged! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was sooooo excited to finally get to plan THE wedding she had been talking and dreaming about for years!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had their engagement photos taken on a cold spring day in downtown Raleigh and at a park near by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our little sky line is growing and is so cute, don't you think? </div>

Mr. B's mom and stepfather held an engagement party for them on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
their property just outside of Raleigh. It was in a rural area and the perfect setting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a tent set up in the middle of a field with market lights hung, lanterns and a lot of candles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also a small band, lawn games and even porta potties!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brittany could not wait to get ready! She was <b style="font-style: italic;">sooo </b>excited and giddy the entire day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had waited for over ten years for this!</div>

A random thought on Paris:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided there are many shades of "french blue" according to the doors and shutters in Paris. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved comparing them all and ended up coming home with a phone full of pictures of every shade of blue you can imagine. </div>

We decided our last day in Paris was going to be a shopping day. We circled a lot of shops and areas on our map while we were on the bus tour and had a list of places to shop from talking to people that had been to Paris before. We started the day off walking to one of the islands in the middle of the Seine, Ive Saint Louis. This little island was so perfect and filled with small shops, cafes and restaurants. We had not had any crepes yet while in Paris and that was something we wanted to check off our list for sure. </div>

We found a small creperie on a quiet street with just a few people inside. After we sat down, <b>I</b> did a <strike>little</strike> a lot eavesdropping and realized we were in a little local neighborhood place. Everyone knew each other, the owner was siting at a table with someone and talking to everyone and locals would stop in the doorway while passing by to say <i>bonjour. </i> </div>

After eating, Hubs and Barrett consulted with each other and came up with our game plan. I know it looks like I did absolutely nothing to help them on this trip - and I 100% did not. These two are quite a map reading pair and there is no room for someone like me to try to add to their system. I do not speak their language when it comes to things like this and they never hesitated to let me know I was just there to look <strike>pretty</strike> puffy! </div>

The Shakespeare and Company bookstore was awesome. One of Barrett's friends, who knows her very well, suggested we not miss this place. It has a lot of little rooms filled with shelves stuffed with unusual books and comfy old chairs in the corners. There were also a few cats wandering around inside. (It is located near Notre Dame.)</div>

Barrett had some other friends tell her about the <a href="https://www.merci-merci.com/en/">Merci </a>store. It reminded me a lot of a Crate and Barrel store in the US, but french style. </div>

"Merci" had a coffee shop inside of it that was wall to wall bookshelves. I definitely noticed a book home decorating theme in Paris and this one picture does not capture its beauty. I immediately started redecorating our den in my head after seeing this! Just think, no paint colors <i>or</i> wall art <i>or</i> knick knacks to pick out because it is wall to wall books!<br />

I mentioned in the previous post, Art and I are not big museum people. We love local culture more. Whenever I travel, I really seek out local and simply things. One of the things I LOVE to do is always look for a grocery store. I love walking through them and comparing them to ours in the US. Let me just say that yes, the Parisian grocery store had cereal, cookies and other boxed (processed) items, but not rows and rows of them like we have. There was even a small frozen dinner section, but it looked nothing like our mile long frozen processed section in the US. It was all gourmet meals or local produce already prepared in vacuumed packed plastic with dates stamped on it. Their produce section, although very simple was to die for! Evidentially radishes were in season because they were everywhere and <i><b>everyone </b></i>was buying them. (I have read several places that fresh radishes and butter is served in the schools and at home as a snack.) <br />

On our way to dinner we stumbled upon my kind of shop. It was a shop full of local pottery and kitchen textiles. I wanted it all! ALL! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I collect small local pottery bowls from the places I travel to and this was my spot to select that bowl that was coming home with me. Hubs was very patient even though he was ready for some <strike>wine</strike> dinner. I seriously think I touched everything in this store and if you know anything about shopping in France, touching is a <b>big </b><i>no no. </i>I could not help myself though and just ignored the "please don't act like an American and touch things" rule. I know Miss French Lady was glad for me to finally leave when I did! </div>

On our second day in Paris, we left our hotel and headed straight to Notre Dame to beat the line and crowds. We had a very short line when we got there and were inside in about five minutes. We had forgotten that it was Sunday and we were surprised that mass was being held. We sat for a few minutes "to get our church in", but did't stay long. We aren't catholic and we don't speak french so we had no idea what was going on! Even when mass is being held, they let people wander around and tour ND. </div>

We then headed to find a cafe for breakfast. When I saw lemon juice on the menu I knew I had to have it. I was hoping the lemon juice would work some magic on my puffy eyes and swollen hands and feet. Guys, I do not travel well. Cute shoes and rings are a lost cause because I cannot get them on when I travel. It was so tart, sour and delicious - it was straight lemon juice with a lot of pulp. I was a fan! Barrett ordered grapefruit juice and a Nutella and banana crepe.</div>

We tried to sneak in a few pictures of this couple. Aren't they the epitome of a Parisian couple? We decided that she must be a fashion blogger in Paris or France because he was taking a lot of pictures of her and she had all of her model poses down pat. She also changed her purse, scarf and shoes. We have tried to find her blog to see if we made it into the background of her post. If we did, Barrett and I probably look very creepy because we pretty much stalked them around the Louvre courtyard. </div>

Parisian Blister Buddies!!!</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
After a little rest in our hotel room, we headed out towards the restaurant where we were having dinner. We took a longer route to get there so that we could see another part of Paris, through a mostly residential area. Early evening is definitely the time of day that Paris comes alive. The cafes are crowded, the families are out and the air is full of delicious things to eat. <br />

Our little restaurant was down an empty alley behind a very inconspicuous door. We had to step down a few steps, duck our heads and walk through a few smaller rooms to get into the main area of the restaurant. It was smaller, rustic and very very french. We sat at a table beside a window with the shutters open looking into a hidden courtyard with lots of french balconies and flowers. If that wasn't perfect enough, it started to thunder and lightning and eventually pour. It was just so perfect! </div>

I am really gonna do it this time, get this blog thing going again! Bad habits are so hard for me to break and I consider not taking the time to scrapbook, document my family, organize my photos, blog and so on a bad habit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Planning Brittany's wedding last fall became a full time job for me and I pretty much did nothing else and became uninterested in everything else. Now I feel very overwhelmed and am not sure where to begin here and I guess that is why it has taken me so long to begin again. I am just going to have to do it. I am working on and am going to post every bit of wedding prep and Brittany's wedding weekend. It was FANTASTIC! Oh my goodness - there are so many photos to sort through and how in the world do I pick just a few to post of each event? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, lesson learned, it is time to catch up! I am starting with a look at our summer. Speaking of summer - I am still in denial that it is all but O.V.E.R.! My flower pots all still look good and make me so happy and I still love sitting by the pool with Art when he gets home for work </div>

So, without further ado, Summer 2017 Paris:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Barrett, hubs and I took a short trip to Paris in July. We didn't even plan it until the first of June and went without an itinerary, which is totally not my style. Our plan was just to walk the different neighborhoods of Paris, see all of the main sites and sit at a lot of cafes, especially the ones where the locals were sitting. Paris is a direct flight from our airport so the flight there and back was <i>sooo</i> easy. We landed in Paris early morning and by the time we went through customs and took a taxi to our hotel, we were ready for our first cafe experience and in BIG need of coffee, some people watching and authentic french croissants. </div>

We stayed in the Latin Quarter on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_Saint-Michel">Boulevard Saint Michel </a> just a few blocks from Notre Dame. After dropping off our luggage at our hotel (we couldn't check in for a few more hours), we headed towards Notre Dame. looking for the best spot for us to just sit and get acclimated. We sat at a cafe for about an hour and just took in the sites and sounds of Paris.</div>

We decided to take a bus tour - one of those hop on hop off tours. Since Art and I had never been to Paris and our time was very limited, we thought that would be a good way to see everything quickly and we'd know where we would want to go back the next few days. It actually was a great decision. We saw everything and got off the bus at the Eiffel Tower and at Avenue des Champs Elysees. The bus even went by our hotel and we were able to hop off, check in, wash up and change our clothes and then we headed out again. </div>

Our first night we were really feeling our lack of sleep and so instead of dinner somewhere, we "cafe hopped" by our hotel and ordered cheese and charcuterie plates and did a little french wine tasting. Barrett became our map guru and picked out our route that night. (She's good and she's for hire!)</div>

We were so exhausted after dinner, we headed to our hotel and definitely slept like rocks that night! The next two days we walked all over Paris and tried to work off and earn all of the cheese and bread we were eating.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
******************</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so glad to finally break through my blog block (aka laziness) and get this posted. I have too many pictures of Paris to put on one post so I already have the next one ready to post in the next few days. When I started this post, we were watching Irma and planning for it to hit North Carolina. The models had it hitting our beach house AND our home in Raleigh. We had a very busy weekend planned before Irma shifted and is missing us. I am so thankful, even though I know others are in her path. We flooded at the beach during hurricane Matthew last year and lost the contents of our downstairs. This year we've replace all of our lawn equipment, furniture, a refrigerator</div>
and our golf cart. None of those things were covered by insurance. I am not complaining because we could live without all of those things and we were not in danger when the flooding happened. I just know the heartbreak, devastation and all of the work that is involved with water damage. <br />
I just hope that this is the last of the storms this season and that recovery is quick. <br />

Before the spring semester ended, Barrett's sorority filmed a promotional video. They asked if Charlie and Lola wanted a starring role in it, and of course they were quick to say yes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took them to UNC and handed them over to Barrett and the rest of the sorority for the afternoon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look who spent the afternoon running around the football field!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was so excited the day we moved Barrett out of her door room. That meant she was coming home for the entire summer! Now, it is just weeks away from her going back. I am trying to wrap my head around how quickly time goes by. I love how this picture looks like it required a crane to move her things out - if you've moved a daughter in or out of a dorm room you know a crane would have been helpful.</div>

One day, standing in the kitchen, Barrett caught a glimpse of something moving in the water of the pool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seconds later she was screaming and running out the backdoor. Brittany heard her all the way upstairs and was downstairs and out the door in two seconds. This poor little fawn was franctically swimming in circles. Without hesitation, Brittany dove in with her clothes on and Barrett belly flopped onto the cement half way hanging in the water and grabbed the deer. It fought her, but Brittany came up from underneath it and they lifted it out. It took off running into the woods the opposite direction from its mom. This little guy was only a day or so old then. It's poor mom was on the other side of the yard, stomping, snorting and crying out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so thankful Barrett saw the fawn and it all had a happy ending. </div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
The wedding planning is in full force. It seems all I do is eat, sleep, dream, talk, and look at wedding stuff 24/7 these days. We took a little break from the planning over the holidays, but hit the ground running (sliding) again in January. We are slowly checking things off of the massive To Do list.<br />
<br />
I am planning on sharing all the details very soon! <br />
<br />
Is time flying in your neck of the woods? Because it is here! Way too quickly, January was history and there was not a blog post to show for it, and then February happened.<br />
<br />
So this is me playing catch up again! <br />
<br />
According to my monthly photo stream, here is what we've been up too.<br />
<br />
<br />
We were all excited to hear that we were going to have a snow event here (winter storm Jonas), but unfortunately it happened on Barrett's birthday weekend so all of our birthday plans weren't able to happen. Barrett wasted not time hopping in her car and heading home from Chapel Hill Thursday night as soon as she heard that her classes were going to be canceled on Friday the 22nd. Brooke and Mr. E were supposed to drive from DC, but because of the amount of snow that area was expecting, coming home was no longer an option. Brittany was home and fortunately did not have to work (she is a nurse and works nightshift). So we had a snowed in birthday party - very quiet, warm and cozy. <br />

Christmas 2015</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am glad all of the running around and craziness known as Christmas shopping is over, however, I am not ready to let Christmas go just yet. I haven't had my fill of Christmas tunes and lights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept the decorating on the simple side this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't in the mood for all of the "stuff"... my Santa collection, my village, the Christmas dishes or the big tree in the dining room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually, I was feeling lazy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The tree looks the same year after year except for the bow on top sometime changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our tree pretty much tells the story of our family because we've collected and filled it with ornaments that had something to do with our past year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love decorating our tree and seeing all of the ornaments year after year. </div>

Grown up Christmases are hard getting used to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brittany and Brooke had to work on Christmas, so again this year we had to ignore the date on the calendar and celebrate a few days early. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Brittany is a nurse and worked the night shift on Christmas Eve and Christmas. Brooke is a flight attendant and was on call December 24th - 27th and had to be in DC.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brooke and Mr. E came home Saturday and stayed through Wednesday so we had a lot of time together. Brittany didn't have to work those days either, but unfortunately Mr. B was still Nashville working.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday </span>night we went the Angus Barn - and so did everyone else in Raleigh! We didn't go to eat dinner, but wanted to sit in the Wild Turkey Lounge and have a few appetizers. We waited for several hours because they do not take reservations in the lounge. This is my go to place to get some Christmas spirit and everyone knew that this was at the top of my list so they were good sports about the wait. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday,</span> we went to my dad's house which is an hour away from Raleigh. I organized a family reunion of my dad's side of the family. We hadn't seen each other in several years so it was a good time catching up with everyone. I took a camera with a <i>dead</i> battery so didn't take the pictures I had planned. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a late lunch - short ribs, mashed potatoes, sauteed brussel sprouts with pecans and cranberries and mushrooms. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dad came and brought his <i>lady friend</i> - that is what he calls her </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it makes me giggle every time I say it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the first time we met her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was very nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope we didn't scare her away.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday, </span>Brooke and Mr. E headed back to DC and the rest of us were lazy for the next few days. It was so nice to sit on the couch and not have to travel or cook on Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the weekend, Mr. B came over and hung out with us. We watched football and we grilled hamburgers outside because it feels like it is summer here. We decided to stop complaining about how warm it is and get out there and enjoy it. </div>

We had a good Thanksgiving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the two older girls have (thankfully) graduated from college</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have (even more thankfully) taken jobs that require them to sometimes work on the holidays,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we've had to adjust our holiday celebrations around their work schedules. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have learned to celebrate our time together, no matter when that may be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did not think we were going to my dad's for Thanksgiving, but did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was decided on the Sunday before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We (my little family) are trying to establish our own holiday celebrations, make new routines, work around work schedules and would love to rotate holidays around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is our fifth holiday season since my mom passed away and I just feel like it is time to change things up a bit to accommodate everyone's different lives now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But guys, family dynamics are hard to deal with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just leave it with that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Barrett was so excited to be in the kitchen baking again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Living in a dorm on a college campus is really interfering with her hobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was home all day Wednesday and did nothing but bake and cook.</div>

Friday, Brooke drove home from DC. She (flight attendant) worked/flew Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and was on call on Thursday so was not able to be here on Thanksgiving Day. Her boyfriend, Mr. E, came with her. </div>

Art and I just got back from Napa last night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today has been a day of playing catch up and laundry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Art had a conference in San Diego last week and flew out on Sunday (Nov. 8). He has been in an organization for many years and we have made some really good friends through all of the traveling, dinners and meetings. One of the friends we have made has a home in Yountville, California in the Napa area. We, along with three other couples were invited to spend four days there with them after the conference in San Diego. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Nobody had to twist my arm! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I flew to San Francisco and met Art and another couple there in the airport and we drove to the house in Yountville. I have been two other times before, but each time was in the spring when everything was just starting to bloom. It was beautiful then, but I have to say that fall is giving springtime a run for its money. The leaves are changing on the trees and grapevines, the roses are still in full bloom and so are the other flowers. BEAUTIFUL!</div>

Thursday and Friday we spent sightseeing, eating and visiting wineries. Napa is definitely not the place to go if you are on a strict diet and are trying to be "good". I am paying for it now!<br />

If you follow me on Instgram you may have seen Gweniverie one of the winery cats. There is a second cat named Sir Lancelot, a yellow tabby, but he was a little shy. Gweniverie is 100% living a very <b>large</b> life. She roams the castle and sits on the tables in the wine tasting room. </div>

Brittany's birthday was on Friday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She turned 26 at 5:04PM.</div>

We had a busy weekend and our house was full and noisy, just the way I like it. </div>

Brooke and Mr. E left DC at 5:30 in the morning on Friday. Mr. E had to work, and can work from home or anywhere as long as he has his laptop and phone. That was why they had to get on the road early so that they could get to Raleigh early enough for him to get his work day started upstairs in our office. It is a little more than a four hour drive. </div>

Brittany was just getting up when Brooke got home. Luckily Brittany didn't have to work on her birthday! I was sitting on my bed drinking coffee waiting for Brooke to get here. When she did, she and Brittany ended up in my room dancing, laughing and finally chasing each other around the house. Brooke was taking snapchats of Brittany and Brittany was protesting because she had just crawled out of bed. </div>

After her classes on Friday, Barrett headed home for the weekend. She was so excited to bake Brittany's cake. She misses not being able to bake because of being away at college. She made a chocolate ganache raspberry cake.<br />

We had reservations for dinner, but they were a little late so we made a charcuterie tray to nibble on while we waited. Well, we went into the dining room because Mr. E wanted to give Brittany his birthday gift to her, a bottle of nice champagne........<br />

Today, was a lazy day and late this afternoon our house emptied. Art flew to Dan Diego this morning. Brittany took Mr. B to the airport later so he could fly back to Nashville. Brooke and Mr. E left for DC and Barrett loaded up her clean laundry and headed back to school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not going to lie, I am sitting in a chair in the living room watching TV and am enjoying some quiet time with just Brittany.</div>

Brittany - is turning 26 on Friday! For those who do not know, she is a graduate of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and is a NICU nurse. She had been commuting almost an hour and a half to work to a hospital in another town for a year, but thank goodness, she was offered a position at a hospital here in Raleigh. She started orientation last week and will be in the NICU unit in a few weeks. I am so thankful that she is no longer having to drive so far to work, especially after working twelve hour night shifts. I worried about her constantly.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I thought after Barrett (18) went to college in August, life around the house would be sad and lonely. I was not looking forward to being an empty nester. I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do with myself. Well, I have a confession to make: <b>I am not an empty nester just yet.</b> When Brittany's lease to her apartment was up in August, she moved back home to save money.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So there is life and activity still going on here in our house! In fact <b><i>a lot</i></b> of activity and planning is going on because <b>Brittany is engaged! </b></div>

Barrett is all settled into her college dorm room and her first day of class was on Wednesday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is officially a college student.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a Carolina Tarheel.</div>

Her dorm opened last Thursday and had three move in days -</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Barrett's roommate, who is from Charlotte (NC), wasn't moving in until Saturday. So we took advantage of living only thirty minutes away and took a carload each day and moved in slowly. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so nice taking all of her clothes on Thursday and getting it all put away before bringing in the other things on Friday and Saturday.</div>

One of Barrett's nicknames is "Little Bear".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When she got back into her room she found a little surprise from me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A small trinket dish with a little fuzzy bear sitting on it. </div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
I am still here. Hope you are too!<br />
<br />
We have had a great summer, but as always it has come and gone too quickly. I can't wait to get into a regular routine and share it. This also has been a summer full of bittersweetness. I've been taking a lot of slow deep breathes, swallowing hard and tossing and turning at night.<br />
<br />
My house looks and feels like a bomb has gone off inside it. Closets are being emptied and every suitcase we own is loaded down. The dogs know something big is going on, especially sensitive little Lola. She must think we are leaving her and Charlie forever.<br />
<br />
I am praying that I do not have to make <b><i>another</i></b> Target run to buy <b><i>another</i></b> plastic bin or drawer.<br />
<br />
I 'd really be okay if this Friday never got here. <br />
<br />
Just two more days we take Barrett to college.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Will I ever catch up here? <br />
<br />
We finally have slowed down and are getting into the summer groove. We have Senior Sunset, Graduation and Barrett's Senior Trip to Europe behind us.<br />
<br />
Before leaving for graduation, we took some pictures in the front yard.<br />
