Don't have any time to waste!!!!! [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

This is really fun, Flipper, for us and them! Keep on with the updates! And , uh, does she like to get email?

So, is it a nice discreet and tasteful ring, or is it a big ROCK????

(maybe Bluebird should look for your Mom on Myspace LOL)...

my guess is discreet and tasteful, Searcher. Mom is not the flashy type. I think he wanted to buy her a rock but she's too modest for that.

will keep you posted...

OOOOOOHHH, MYgosh, Flipper,

This is REALLY fun! I'm thinkin' she should have gone for the rock - being 81 and all - but then, that wouldn't be true to her nature, so we love her anyway!!! God love her pea-pickin soul!!! (as MY Mother would've said). Tell her to write her journal, so we all can have the benefit of her wise and wonderful self - should I be contemplating marriage at 81 gives me courage! 'course she's already left me YOU!

update:

Word from Mom is there will probably be a private wedding with just Mom and the groom, my oldest sister and the groom's brother, sometime next week with a reception to follow at a later date.

Seems once this ball got rolling, it has picked up speed!

another update:

Mom called this morning, invited me to her wedding on Friday at 11 a.m.! I'll be on the road tomorrow - it's going to be wierd to see Mom with another man not my dad, as I haven't seen her since this started. Bottom line is, I'm happy for both her and the groom and love them both very much so the wierdness will just have to stay on the back burner. At least my family is NOT boring!

Smile, I will definitely take pictures and find a place to show a few along with the wedding details.

And Searcher, sis sent me a picture of the "rock" - it is not gaudy, but not what I would call small, either.

Mom said when they went to church Sunday, he held up her sparkling hand and announced their engagement to the seniors ss class. She said the pastor's chin about hit the floor and he was rendered speechless for a time. When he recovered he made sure he would get to do the honors and marry them which he will. They were met with lots of excitement and congrats from the rest of the group.

Mom sounds so excited, I can't wait to see her. I haven't been home since January. My sisters and I are going out for a drink (or two) Friday night, giving the happy couple their privacy.

Since he is my dad's nephew - my first cousin - we are wondering - will he be our dad or will mom be our cousin? Will she still be his aunt after she becomes his wife? Will his kids still be our cousins or will they be our sibs? Oh, my, what a twisted family tree we will be!

Stay tuned, maybe we will get this figured out over our drinks Friday night!

Flipper I'm laughing out loud at your last post.

This is so very cool. Hope you have a great time with your family. Can't wait to hear about it.

Flipperjo after a few drinks you'll all probably come to the same conclusion, that none of that matters anyhow, just the happiness of those two sweet people.....
