Salado Christmas Parade Fabulous-nesss!

 Miss Alice Fleetwood rocked Main and Royal Streets for the annual Salado Christmas parade!  Corbin was able to join us and Miss Denise cheered on the crowd as well.  Nice folks, great photo ops and fun crowds abounded.  We even worked in a visit to Barrow Brewing Company as part of our official parade activities!  Brooke Culley took this great photo as we rolled along, and it was so fun to be part of the tradition for one more year! 
 
Crazy busy weekend @ the chapel.  First, there's a mad dash to Canton in East Texas to find even MORE super really cool stuff for the chapel, and a wonderful visit at Mary's house.  Then we do our favorite Old Mexican Inn in Corsicana for re-fueling, and get back to the house where our lovely Sirena Truegood/Truluck/Whatever was carefully guarding 3 doggies....  Got her a great thank you gift and so many other fun finds.  Visited over wine/beer and then collapsed after a great hot tub/spa session!  This morning was music for Miss Denise at Christ the King in Belton, and I was blessed to be able to lead a discussion with the Junior Escorts for the 2017 Wildflower Belle Ball.  Fun!  Also had a photo shoot here AND a bride and groom visit....   WHEW!  At least we're not bored!  Tomorrow is some cleanup and hopefully getting the house back on track!  
 
Blessings come in so many forms, and we think if we stay in the 'flow' of them, they just continue and wash over us.  We know when people and situations are not 'right' for us....and it just strengthens us for the right people in our lives that we can help and connect to....  He's got this!  Woohoooo!

Ok...this was for a baby shower, but we're thinking it's kind of a cool departing prize for a wedding as well. Diggin' the citrus theme of this event to this day, and what an unusual idea for a gift!

Wedding homecoming is one of our favorite nights of the year. Brides and grooms get to meet, greet and have fun together. Such a blessing to bring so many special folks into the same room! Neat!

Absolutely love this photo of an angel who's no longer with us. Susan made every visit special with her sparkling smile and kindness. We miss her, and know she's enjoying a heavenly tea party now!

Bright and beautiful! The Bride's Courtyard is one of our favorite places at the chapel. How many thousands of photographs of these fun, funky, retro beauties have been taken at weddings? Magic!

Well, if you're doing charity at the chapel, you've got to look halfway decent, right??!? Lots of work to make this happen right here, but we're excited about the Murder on the Orient Express event!

This is my annual lecture/wonderment about zinnias. They are our absolute favorite flower, and so few weddings include the sturdy little characters. Taylor and Daniel got the memo, however! Love!

A tremendous event starts with a magical invitation. Who would have thought of using a 'citrus' theme with color neutrality for a non-gender reveal baby shower?! Brilliant, and it set the tone!

Happiness Factor is over.the.top with the wonderful union of Annabelle and John on Saturday! Everything was perfect, and when does a couple get an 86 degree wedding on July 27?!?!? That was great!

Creativity and fun were the hallmarks of chapel activities this last weekend! Laura threw a great baby shower for Karley, and the whole "Little Cutie" theme was tremendous from the invitation on!

Every bride at the Chapel at CaliberOak is beautiful! Even those that need extra help in the beauty department, such as Miss ShelbyMae, here. The crown is all of it! Every bride is a princess here!
