Cousin Rob has joined the ranks of the betrothed.....
My cousin Rob married his lovely fiance' Noele this weekend. My brother Steve and his fiance', Ingrid, were kind enough to drive us all into Washington, DC, for the wedding and the reception. I would rather shove burning matches under my fingernails than drive in the District, so that made it a much more enjoyable trip. After an unplanned tour of DC, we found the Josephine Butler Mansion, where the ceremony and reception was held. I saw people there I haven't seen in a long, long time.
Like my Aunt Pam........
My Uncle Bob.............
My cousin Brian and his wife Kit............
And, of course, Cousin Rob and his bride Noele.....
The reception was catered by the Lebanese Taverna, and was beyond delicious. All in all, it could not have been a nicer time.
Rob serenaded the crowd, and showed everyone he still has his chops (and convinced me that I really need to get my guitar back out and start playing again........)
Getting a bunch of Parkers together for a group shot......
Hopefully, it won't be nearly as long before we all get together again.
Family and friends really are all you have. Material goods are nice, but there really is no substitute for a handshake or a hug from someone you haven't seen in a long time.
And that, gentle reader, is that.
Stay tuned.....

Ah what a great time it was. Friends & Family indeed. And Lebanese food. And music. That's about all there is. Oh, and beer.
