Wedding Weekend

This morning we will take a beautiful ride to Rhode Island to begin the wedding festivities for a family member. In this case it is family by marriage but I feel as close to them as if it was family by blood. I know the groom for fifteen years and have watched him grow into a wonderful man. Tonight is the welcome dinner and tomorrow the wedding will be held in a waterfront mansion. The bonus of the weekend is that I will spend time with my granddaughters. I will watch the older one walk down the aisle as a flower girls. I will be responsible for the baby and will relish every moment of being with her. I have looked forward to this weekend for a long time.
