"Could we get the BUG to step out of the shot, please?" "thank you"

 Did you ever look at a picture and think you could smell it?!?!?  That actually happened to me this morning.....(ok, it's before 7a, but whatever).  As I was saving this photo on my computer, I thought I could actually detect the delicate fragrance of this amazing bloom in my nose.   The sensation only lasted a few seconds, and thankfully, we can go to the chapel today and enjoy face-fulls of these beauties as they reach their first zenith of the year.  This charming little bug near the center of this bloom adds a little levity and counterpoint, I guess... :)   
 
Putting the titivating touches on Heather and Robert's great adventure today.  Putting out cake plates (selected the amazingly cool sage green), getting their vows in the official book, polishing silver, spraying for bugs (see above rose!  :)) ...So looking forward to seeing them and making their day very special.   ...   Had a great time at the Belton Chamber Mixer last evening, and Mrs. Arnaz even got to take the run...after getting a bath and 'loooookin' gooooood'.  Already looking forward to the next chamber mixer, and also working on two different advertisement ideas to increase the awareness of the chapel!  Fun projects underway.  Also working on a fun, Asheville, NC mini-break for the fall to see Bea Lamb....   Speaking of mini-breaks, still waiting on Miss Bridget Jones ('77 MGB) to get her carburetor kit installed in Belton so that she can hopefully, soon, hit the open roads!  We miss her and it's been about 6 months since we've partied together! 
 
Trusting Him in all things, and letting the burden of worry rest elsewhere.  It takes practice, but the result is certainly worth it!  Blessings to all for a blossom-filled day of unexpected delights!

This stained glass window welcomes everyone to the chapel kitchen! It was one of the first things we bought when we were building the place, and the colors and pattern are just right for our look!

We get to see some brides and grooms all the time, and it's really fun! Supper at Hettie and Chad's last was no exception. They're house is coming along beautifully, and it's fun to be involved!

Tea Ladies doing their thing. Lynda, Karen, Lisa, Emmy and Susan are supping and dining on the annual tea fare at the chapel. Hats are looking pretty great here, and everyone wore one! Way cool!

Who says the Consigliere doesn't work hard around here?!? Here's our hero making sure the world is safe for white bread sammiches! I love Samantha's super classy hat look here! First tea for her!

Check out this tea party, fun-dango kinda shot! Clearly, again this year, hats were required, and there were quite a few of them. From picture frame hats to fascinators, colors and shapes abound!

It is to laugh........... The ladies say that they're coming to the annual tea party for tea, sandwiches, sweets and sparkling beverages and conversation. ...It's really for the CHEESEcake!

Happiness as a couple is palpable with these two. It was an honor to have their wedding ceremony at the chapel, and an even greater honor to have performed the rite. Art and Sue are a delight!

Totally fun teatime for the ladies! Everyone dressed in hats and sipping away. They loved the raspberry cocktail almost as much as the tea! Outstanding day that was all about Mrs. Boss's posse!

For those of you 'in the know', this chapel is truly our Joy. This is particularly evident in this photo of Samantha about 2 minutes after getting married. Mrs. Boss knows how to express joy!!!

This has GOT to be one of my favorite photographs ever posted on the Chapel blog. Jolene took this arial shot of the outdoor place settings at Jess & Sam's wedding, and it's beautiful! Def our look!
