Southern Hospitality at its Best and a Beachy Wedding

I guess I must smell like a "nawtherner" because I experienced some of the finest southern "hospitality" ever while in Mobile last week. Archie and I were in Fabrics by the Pound searching for curtain fabric. The lady was pretty snippy when I asked a question about a particular kind of fabric. While we were shopping, a very electric storm blew up suddenly. I realize it was almost closing time, but the woman there said we had to leave. Right in the middle of the very loud, popping thunder and lightning and sheeting rain! What is wrong with people? Rain down there blows by after about 10 or 15 minutes...She couldn't let Archie and I wait it out indoors? Apparently not.

Then there was the burned, one hour pizza incident at Blu Rabbit...which I guess I'll get into later.

We were visiting Mobile to attend Phillip's Uncle Steve's wedding which was a lovely affair that took place on Pensacola Beach. I got some nice family photos there. Here's a nice one of my Mom-in-Law and Granny.

Here's one of Phillip and I. Sometimes it's difficult to get photos with me in them since I'm always the one who takes all the pictures!

LeighAnne, my Sister-in-law, is probably not going to be very pleased I am including this one in the blog...but I can't help it! It's my favourite! That's what you get when you goof around with the lady with the camera! Joe doesn't look very happy. I wonder what his problem is??

And here's my Mom-in-law and Dad-in-law.

And I guess we need to include the happy couple...I snapped one while the professional photographer was working on her shots. I didn't get Steve's face in it...perhaps it's just as well... ;-) Just kidding, Steve!! You looked very handsome! I really liked Jessica's dress, but I didn't get a good photo of it. Trying to keep up with the kids on the beach, you know!!

Speaking of kids on the beach...it was only a matter of seconds after we arrived there before the kids (and some of the grownups) were already soaking wet! Here's Archie and Lily playing before the ceremony.

When it was time to go to the reception, Archie was very unhappy to leave the beach. He's showing his disapproval here. He looks very unhappy, doesn't he?

But he cheered up post haste because he found out that at the reception, there was SWIMMING!!!!!! Here he is with Lily checking out the water before the swimming officially started and with Lily and Analise on the inflatable horse (um, in reverse order):

It was a great wedding (except for the sticky, sweaty, sticky weather) and Jessica's folks did a great job on the reception. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed very much visiting with our Pensacola family!
