Nothing says autumn like October in the Smokies

A Day in the Life of The Wedding Fairygodmother
Gorgeous berries so sweet they didn’t even need the candy, I dipped them in Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate (heaven help us) and topped each with a white chocolate ‘button’.

Wedding Faeries in the Garden
The flower girls today were daughters of the bride and groom. He came all the way from Sarasota, she came all the way from Thailand! The two daughters are the same age and were just exquisite little wood sprites that decorated the garden. They danced from flower to flower like butterflies! It was beautiful to […]
Chillin’ with Celebrities…
They checked in at 3:00 and Larry had to come find me at 7. It was one of those Ya-Ya Sisters afternoons, when the fountain of friendship just bubbles over.

Nashoba makes orchard wines, among other things, and we like to visit when we’re up in the Boston area to see our daughter’s family.
