Hey Gang

Postby OldUsedParts » Mon Mar 19, 2018 12:47 pm

I have received some nice PMs from friend members asking if I was OK and I am Fine and just getting back from my youngest Step-sons Wedding in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The Wiffy survived the trip much better than we expected but all of us were tending to her as if she was the Queen Mother instead of just the Mother. Problem is, now that we are home she has been spoiled and I can't take the place of all the helpful friends and family that tended to her as well.
:laughing7: :lol: :D I'll post a few pics for Y'all to enjoy later but just wanted to tell Y'all that it's good to be back HOME :texas: :texas: :texas: :texas: :texas: :texas: :texas: :texas: :texas:

Lots of fun things went on those 5 days.

This was on their Wedding Cake and I took the pic after Batman and Princess fell off the top of the cake breaking one of Bat's ears off.

The desserts after the Dinner were chosen by the Bride and Groom.
Sarah chose those little moon cakes and they were very good, however, Mike's Texas roots came out and he chose these Pecan Pies and Blue Bell Vaniller. This pic is of my second helping.

Great pics Parts! You clean up nice. Congrats to the bride and groom.

Somebody’s gotta ask…who’s in the kilt bending over behind you? We almost got an answer to that age old question :)

He was a friend of the Bride and Groom and his ancestors are from Ireland - - - IT WAS also St. Patrick's Day that day :dont: Here he is with the Bridesmaid Cassie - - - she was a KITA and that night at the Balcony Restaurant in the Basin Park Hotel she bought a round of Irish Whiskey for everyone. I gave mine to a friend and toasted with my Shiner Bock longneck :tup:

It was reported that some Lady asked him what was worn under his Kilt and he replied
"Mam there's nothing worn everything's like brand new" :oops: :laughing7: :whiteflag:

Aye Laddie, clothes befit the Gentleman, but Manners do make the Man. You clean up well Parts, the formal do fit you well.

Congrats to you and the family on the happiest of days, the joining of two families as well as two people.

As fer the Celt in the Kilt in the winter aire, I can only relate the same phrase me auld Scottish ancestors would have uttered:

“Och, an where that draft be a comin’ from, the pickles are in the brine!”

I grew up with bagpipes, my neighbour was in a Scottish band, all his 6 boys grew up playing the bagpipes. I love the sound, reminds me of growing up as a kid, he also had a studebaker hawk, that got me into V8s.
