How absolutely wonderful. I can feel the loving atmosphere, see the riverside setting, admire the happy couple and families and friends. Most of all I can taste that cake. Can you Fed Ex a slice to the UK?.

What? It's all gone?

Seriously I wish you the very best and while we are enjoying this life the 'other lot' can't touch us.

Thanks JD for the post. Jim and Anne are lucky to have you and Jenny in their lives (I think they probably know it too!). And thanks for the John Prine clip too; I've been a fan since the 70's.

You done good brother. Big heart, strong mind - unbreakable bond with the intimacy of what can be taken in.

May peace and blessings flow to you and yours

Thank You, Brother-down-under. I know that those are not casual words, when coming from you.

Last saw John Prine on my birthday at the Oct. 05th, 2019 Hardly Strictly Blue Grass Festival in GG Park in San Francisco (damn, I miss that)... he died a few months later and that was the last outdoor festival I've attended since.

I always enjoyed his storytelling musical style. Thank you for posting (that song, in particular)...

Beautiful description of a wonderful day. Same old same old? Too much to do,......never mind just learning what our programming is telling us to do, how about doing something new. Never too late.
