Here Comes The Bride

Mr. & Mrs. 

Back in July, one of my nieces tied the knot to the man of her dreams!!!

And the wedding was a complete BLAST!!!

It's hard to believe the little girl who was born several years after I graduated college is now a full-grown woman! 

Excuse me: a full-grown WIFE!!!

My youngest sister!

My brother and sister!

My niece (brother's daughter)!

My sisters, brother and the groom!

All my siblings, nieces, nephews, an elderly uncle and several cousins were in attendance!!!

My eldest sister (bride's mother), nephew (bride's brother's son), bride and groom!

My niece was particularly close to her older brother. He lost his life in a traffic accident two months before the wedding, so he was there only in spirit. His son walked her down the aisle.

In his honor, she left an open chair with an 8X10 photo of him in the front row!!!

I wish them a healthy and joyous marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Indianapolis Discovery Ball 2021

I am so thankful my brother (center) is affiliated with the American Cancer Society in Indiana. The organization hosted its annual fundraiser, Discovery Ball, last month and as always, it was an absolute BLAST!!!

My sister-in-law and I plopped down on some leather chairs and struck a pose before the event began!!! We looked like a MILLION BUCKS!!! 

And my SOCKS!!! 

YESSSS! 😜😜😜

My brother bought a couple tables and The Montgomery Family showed UP and showed OUT!!! 

I, my brother, sisters, nieces and extended family truly enjoyed ourselves. Heck, everything we bid on during the silent auction, we WON!!! 🙌🏿

Looking hella forward to NEXT year's event!!!

Hello, FRIENDS

 Covid-19 has caused many of us to remain distant from loved ones. 

Working night and day to "make it" is another reason people don't see each other.

Well, at 57 years blessed, I have finally accepted that my breaths on this planet are limited. 

I won't be here forever. 

Period!

So, that means I've decided to go WHEREVER I have to go to see those I love.

Last month, I stopped by my alma mater, Wabash College, and spent time with folks I haven't seen in ages!!!

And I loved EVERY SINGLE MOMENT!!!

After I left Wabash, I drove all the way to Wheaton, Il to see a friend I haven't seen face-to-face since I was in his wedding 30 years ago!!! That's just CRAZY!!!

Visiting with him and his lovely wife has been a highlight of my year!!!

Next up, I've gotta make my way to north central Indiana to hang out with one of the most incredible women I've ever met. We'll convene at the very place I met her!!!

She'll undoubtedly round up a few other great ladies, and we'll sip margaritas, laugh and eat 'til we can't any longer!!!!!!!!! Bringing all of us together is LONG OVERDUE!!!

YEP, this ol' dude intends to see ALL the friends he loves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO, FRIENDS, indeed!!!

Screw It, Let's Ride

I was dining al fresco a couple weeks ago with a great friend of mine and this BLACK BEAUTY pulled up right in front of us!

Heck, I could hear it a mile away because its sound system is CRAAAAAAAAZY!!!

Everybody and their mother asked the rider about the bike. He told us he's spent lots of money and put in lots of hours making it look like it does. 

All I could say was, WOW!!!!!!!

NOBODY does bikes like HARLEY does bikes!!!

Taking A Bite Outta The Big Apple And Connecticut

Seven days is simply not enough to galavant around Manhattan!!! 

But, ooooh, I did my best!!!

I surprised the heck outta one of my dearest friends when I popped up at her house!!! Her partner and two sons (the taller one is my godson) were in on my surprise, and it went off perfectly!!!!

We walked her dog, Petey, around her lovely neighborhood and dined in some really terrific restaurants. Who knew Fairfield, CT is so dang beautiful? I mean, what an absolutely awesome place to raise a family. Honestly, she has created one of the coziest homes I've ever had the pleasure to visit. Bravo, Madeline, bravo!!!

I visited with two other incredible women while in NYC, but when I was with them, we were too busy yackin' and eating and drinking and laughing to capture photos like I did with Madeline. Next time! Next time!!!

The Vessel

MJ the Musical

The New York Public Library

Radio City Music Hall

St. Patrick's Cathedral

Lincoln Center

I walked from Washington Square Park in the Village to Central Park. I walked The High Line to 34th St. I wish I could have climbed the Vessel but because there have been several suicides there, the structure is closed to visitors. I  prayed in St. Patrick's Cathedral. 

Oh! I wouldn't have left NYC without hitting up my favorite frozen margarita joint: Dallas BBQ!!! Its Times Square location is enormous!!!

God willing, NYC, I'll be back!!! 👍🏿✊🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
