I can’t take credit for this shot, but my wife can. This is a post wedding shot from the Stephens/Williamson Wedding in Memphis a couple of weekends ago. Jessica and Beth were roommates while they attended Asbury College in Wilmore, KY. Great shot honey!

Cuddle Time, Jealous?

This evening our friend Deb brought us dinner. As a part of the visit, she got some cuddle time in with Ella.

This week Ella’s “Aunt” Amanda (Beth’s roomy from college) is visiting. Amanda hadn’t been here any time at all before she and Ella got down to business with a cozy nap.

Müsli

Beth and I were delighted to find that our friends in Leipzig, Germany had sent back a box of our favorite cereal. If you’ve never had German müsli before, you really must try it. Our favorite is the “schoko” kind with flakes of chocolate.

Many thanks to you Tobi and Christin! What a thoughtful gift. Beth and I had a bowl full last night for an evening snack.

The Virginia Creeper Trail

Bridge View

This past weekend, Beth and I got to take part in one of our favorite fall activities: a bike ride along the Virginia Creeper Trail. In case you’ve never heard of it, the VA Creeper Trail runs along the bed of an abandoned rail line. It starts in Whitetop, Virginia and runs 35 miles to Abington, VA.

On Saturday, our crew of approximately twenty biked the seventeen mile long first half of the trail that ends in Damascus, VA. If you’re interested in taking the same journey, there are several bike rental businesses in Damascus which also offer a shuttle service to the top of the trail.

Robert Mitchell Photography

This past weekend, Beth and I attended a wedding of two friends that was photographed by another friend, Robert Mitchell. His photos turned out so nice that I wanted to share them with you here.

As you browse, you’ll note the lush and beautiful backgrounds provided by Rosewood Gardens. The gardens are privately owned English-style gardens located just past Sevierville down 411. Along with the backdrop, Robert’s use of his surroundings and his eye for a great shot results in a collection that has a dreamy, ethereal quality.

I can’t think of a better birthday treat that to cavort around on Coronado Island in a surrey with my wife and two of our friends. And, that’s exactly what we did this past Monday.

Ben and Jerry?
