It's funny how the selfie stick always makes the Cap look like he's rather confused, but we weren't confused about the fun we were having with our wonderful friend, Lisha! Lisha and I worked together over 20 years ago and when she came to visit, it seemed like just yesterday. Facebook can be a trial at times, but this part of it is really golden...reconnecting with special people. We're glad Lisha's back in Texas, and she's already planning to return to the chapel for the Kite Fest in April! Woooohooo! God bless you, Lish! Pretty active day at the chapel on tap. Getting things done around the place, and our wonderful Apprentice, Sara, should get here this morning after an appointment.
Can't get enough of the creative Kite Fest pins that Cindy Cashion has made! They're certainly attention grabbers, and when people stop you and say, 'what is THAT' on your shirt or jacket.... We get the festival marketing we sought to gain! :) The chapel just wouldn't be the same without Cindy's creativity and spirit! Well, the Ol' Cap has struck again. Technologically challenged as he is, he tried (for the first time at 11:24 p.m. after Mrs. Boss was asleep) to download his very first app on his phone for 'soothing sleep sounds'. Well, somehow, he managed to completely mess up the Gmail login/account settings/etc. Thankfully, Jordan was able to straighten some of it out this morning,
..."The couple that shoots together, stays together"...Well, what could possibly be more romantic than a St. Valentine's Day celebration that involves selecting your wedding vows and getting to shoot your new pistol?!?!?? Match made in heaven, right there! The day started out with M&G coming to go over their vows with Cap, and then the announcement was made that our wonderful new bride has bought an excellent new gun for her groom for St. Valentine's Day! Well, needless to say, within minutes this paper plate didn't have long to live! Where else can you come to the wedding chapel where your wedding is going to be, go over your vows, and blast away at the range to make St. Valentine's Day
...And they look amazing! Many thanks to the talented Jordan Overturf of Overturf Media and Consulting! I was supposed to get this done in December, and Jordan had to finally send the file to make it happen! No matter. Thanks to KK and Sheri for producing and delivering! Just in time for this week's Kite Fest Planning Meeting, so you'll be seeing them around town. Anyone wanting one...just let us know, and also please feel free to share this graphic so that we can get folks here on April 30th! Relaxing and productive day at the chapel. New trailing rosemary in the entryway, chapel linens almost done, 3 mile walk, and other new accomplishments. Thinking it'll be a creamy pasta kinda
As Lent begins to loom on the horizon, the chapel has become somewhat of a 'last chance cafe' for French food and butter and cream! The irreplaceable Mrs. Child ("Mme Sheeeild"...a la Francais!) has been wowing us once again with her delectable dishes. The chapel kitchen has such a French feel that it's like she's trodding the boards with us! Looking forward to an upcoming 'team preparation' dinner.....or at least that's the intent! Stay tuned and keep those copper pots gleaming! Beautiful trip into town in Miss Alice Fleetwood, who was specifically washed for today's activities. Got to visit with Janie Brown, and folks at the most excellent First State Bank in Salado. This afternoon, w
A photo similar to this may have been posted a while back, but we just love it when this happens. At a certain time, almost every day, the light is just right in the chapel kitchen window, and it casts a shadow through the stained glass that echoes on the floor. While the shadow hasn't changed, we love the worn, old-world effect of the floorboards at this stage. Lots of folks would probably repaint, renew....nope. Every chip, crack, scuff and imperfection is a reminder of the hundreds of beautiful weddings and events that have happened here....almost all of them involving the kitchen! How many thousands and thousands of footsteps have crossed these very boards in pursuit of the perfect
Congratulations to the lovely K&S on selecting the Chapel at Caliber Oak for their biggest of days! They came Sunday, and the gate was open so they rolled on up and took the tour. Our newest bride cried about 5 times during the tour, so I think she liked it quite a bit! Both are very local, and we're thrilled that they're having their wedding here. Wednesday night we sealed the deal, and our Apprentice from the Belton CofC/UMHB program, Sara, was even in attendance to experience the thrill! We're looking forward to making all the preparations and plans for a very special wedding for these two. Congratulations, again! Less busy at the chapel today than it's been. We were blessed to att
