Colleen's Column

Our church has a golf outing every year and they always look for businesses to sponsor holes.  I've never been able to go to the outing before myself due to work/other commitments/lack of transportation but this year I ended up taking my younger brother and sister and going golfing.  I haven't golfed in close to 10 years so I was pretty lousy at it....and we didn't hit any geese...but it was fun.  However I was rather sore the next couple of days... I originally wasn't going to be able to make it, so I sponsored a hole instead.  Here's me by Hole #12 with the sign at the tee-off place.  It took us a couple holes to figure out that there was a separate tee for men and ladies.  Then Christina and I decided we were going to definitely use whatever handicap we could get.  Vincent managed to get in some practice time prior to the day, so he could actually hit the ball pretty well...except it kept going into the trees.

Pictures from Francis and Fairly's wedding on May 19th.  Her dress was strapless; I converted it to what it is in the pictures.  I did not make the veil - it was ordered by her family and custom made in the Philippines.  It was a beautiful day! The dress is ecru chiffon with diagonal rusching on the bodice and a heavily beaded neckline.  It laces up the back (also with beading!) and has short, two-layer sleeves.  We got really lucky on the fabric because we found a chiffon shawl we could buy to match it.  We had JUST enough fabric to squeak by and finish the sleeves!  Then the funny thing was, I caught the tossing bouquet at the reception....but nothing's come of it yet.  :)
