Is because I have been away.




This is SecondBorn and Mrs. SecondBorn exchanging vows at the Cap Juluca resort on the tiny island of Anguilla. They were married on the beach at 5:00 on Mothers Day. LOML and I left last Tuesday and spent 3 days at Sint Maarten before ferrying over to Anguilla for the weekend.

Do NOT ask me what kind of woodworking stuff I could have purchased for what this excursion cost, but instead remind me of the memories I shall cherish forever of this special occasion.

Congratulations to the fine looking couple! That pic is one that will be cherished by all, I am sure.

Weddings are fun, but I bet this one will leave long lasting, wonderful memories!

Congratulations! As far as what WW tools you could have purchased- just think what it would have cost if you were the father of the bride and not the father of the groom- ($$$). It looks a little warmer there than when my daughter got married a few years ago on April 16 in Manteo!!!

Jim, congratulations to you and your now larger family! You're right, don't dwell on the cost. There are always bigger, better tools to buy, but memories are hard to find on Craig's List.
