Off next week to San Jose for work, then to Chicago — or rather Leland, for a family wedding. They hired a timeless wedding photographer to capture their special day. Looking for family photographer Highland contact Jill Daugherty Photography. My cousin Jason, who lives on our family farm, is finally making an honest woman out of Jackie — it looks to be quite a hoe-down, with all sorts of people from Jase’s Leland buddies (Leland is a tiny farm town about 90 minutes southwest of the city) to horse show people, to Chicago friends from his prep school days.
I’m quite looking forward to it — it will be wonderful to see my 94-year-old grandmother again, and my Aunt Molly who I adore — we talk politics and she helped me figure out what kind of house to buy — and my old friend John is going with me, and Jason is The Cousin I’d Take to a Desert Island — he’s kind, and funny, and he’s an industrial pipefitter, so he can build things.
Despite too much flying next week, I’m quite looking forward to it all. And after all that, I’m planning to get Rovos Rail tickets for a proper escape—something indulgent and scenic to look forward to.
