Going to Carolina in My Mind ??
The middle sister left Connecticut to go to college in North Carolina, and never came back. Of course she has returned for visits and family reunions , but North Carolina is her home. This weekend we'll be going to Carolina for her son's wedding. It will be the second trip to N.C. this year...Not unusual.
"Can't you just feel the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine?"
The oldest sister, still preserving the ancestral lineage in Greenwich, will be there with entire family. She has four beautiful daughters, one audaciously handsome son, and yes, the original husband. ......."loves the finest thing around..."
In keeping with the Southern culture, we will be entertained Friday night with a catered "Pig Pickin" party. I think the Hawaiian Luau is how we equate this up North. The evening will be authentic, with country blue grass music and dancing. What does one wear to a semi-formal Pig Pickin ?? I'm wearing Chinese silk.....does that make sense ???
The big event will be Saturday evening. Not sure what it is about weddings and funerals but I think Waterboy will bring a hanky for me. Even "with a holy host of others standing around me" I know there will be "a silver tear appearing"
I will be paying close attention, as my baby boy marries next month.
Guess that makes me the MONG (mother of the next groom)

I dunno. . .I think my children, the NC camp counselors, would wear tie-died t-shirts.
I got to go to NC 2x this summer, to drop off and retrieve one of them, but I'm still jealous of your week-end.
I'm glad Paul has introduced us!
Hanky? Da-yum. Off to Marshall's, ah reckon. (See Gayle? Ah kin speak suthin'.)
Awwwwwwww........a wonderful nephew's wedding...I really like that story. We'll try to prep Paul before the big event...but good start...just use lots of
"ya'll." And try to say it so it sounds like a gentle breeze. Please note the possessive form is "ya'll-ses." See ya'll tomorrow...and bring ya'llses party attitude!!!! Yippee!
