On Thursday, we flew to Boston to go to my nephew, Alex's, wedding. I was invited to a Bride's Luncheon by the bride's mom. It was a fun event at a restaurant on Harvard Square. Nice and intimate, we go to visit alot and really relaxed with each other.
The next day was the wedding. Boston was HOT and HUMID! But we managed to get through. Adam and Ross looked incredibly handsome in their shirts and ties, but really didn't like all the dressing up required. The reception was held at the same venue where John F Kennedy announced his decision to run for President. How cool is that?
I love this photo that John took of Adam and Ross and I...well, except the the squidgy eyes that now show themselves in all of my photos...is this what getting old is all about? Squidgy eyes? Really?
It was so hot that they had Japanese fans for us in the pews. Ross was using one even BEFORE the wedding. The bride, Ashley, had spent a year in Japan in High School and her host family came all the way from Kyoto.
Adam had cool green sunglasses (with checkerboard side rims). All my men in one photo! Too bad we were missing Bonnie. And we did miss her.
The groom wore a kilt, as any good Scottish descendent would, of course.
The next day (today, Sunday), there was a wonderful brunch at Legal Seafood, on Harvard Square. Adam and Ross sat at the kids' table. Here they are with their cousin, Betsy...sister of the groom. Don't Betsy and Ross look alike?
Betsy's boyfriend, Abraham, was such a doll. Funny, handsome, and really charming! They make a great couple.
John and his brother, Alan (father of the groom), don't get to see each other often. So, it was a wonderful chance for them to catch-up.
John's mom, Jean, flew all the way across country with us. She's 95 and she was so glad she came.
We left the brunch, dropped Adam and Ross at the airport and headed north to New Hampshire to spend a night on Lake Winnipesaukee. As soon as we crossed the state line into New Hampshire, the rain started to fall...and has fallen (hard) for a good deal of the afternoon and evening.
We visit our friends, Ray and Shannon, for the rest of our week in Vermont...starting tomorrow. Oh, the mojitos are calling to me already!
What happy photos - looks like a great time! It's always interesting to see family resemblances in photos. Have fun in Vermont!

Jean gives me courage to get my rear on a plane more often. Wow! 95 and flying cross country-- she' rocks!! Okay, I'll brush off my (in)frequent flyer miles and quit being a chicken and book a ticket. :PB
