DEDE'S WEDDING

J and I left for Memphis, Tennessee last Friday.  We spent the weekend celebrating the nuptials of my childhood friend Diana Hart Beazley (whom we lovingly call Dede).  You may remember that in June 2011 we took a trip to Memphis for Dede's sister's wedding.  That blog post here.  My family has been great friends with the Beazley gang going on 26 + years now.  A wonderful and treasured friendship.  There is nothing but laughter, smiles, and more laughter when everyone gets together.  So, lots of congratulations and well wishes to the newlyweds Dede & Jim! Thank you for making us a part of your special day!  Here are pictures from our very fun weekend in Memphis...
