The Bride Wore Blue

My mother was a beautiful bride.

She was excited. A little nervous.

But most of all - very happy.

We are home. The train was great. The weather was HOT and HUMID. I have 5 gallons of tomatoes, 1 peck of snap beans, 3 gallons of potatoes and umpteen cucumbers to finish today. I made salsa yesterday. It is awesome! Home grown tomatoes, jalepeno peppers, hot chili peppers, cilantro and onions with purchased garlic, lime and salt. Did I say it was hot? Yeah, the weather and the salsa. P.S. I don't think my mother looks 60. Does she?

Your mother looks so happy! And no, she doesn't look 60 at all. Be sure to tell her. We older ladies (I'm 48) LOVE to hear that! Please pass the salsa.

ANGIE! (yes, I'm screaming!) Your mom looks wonderful! (more like 50!) I love her dress and the flowers too. Too bad you didn't show us the groom's face...LOL. Welcome back.

Your mother looked beautiful. My mother-in-law got remarried last weekend and she also carried a bible with her flowers! I haven't seen that done in ages, I thought it was a nice touch. Is that common in your area? Here it's not really. Years ago, but not so much now.

Aw, she looks just lovely! And so happy! And so NOT 60! My mom is 60 too (big surprise!) and I don't think she looks it, either. I don't know if it's because that generation took decent care of themselves or because I know I only have 20 years to go until I'm that age!

A beautiful, blushing bride. She looks very Indian to me with those cheekbones. Is the Indian on her side of the family?
