A Fond Farewell

Whew! I can’t believe summer is just beginning. It already feels like it’s been ages since we celebrated the blossoming of spring. But we still have three whole months to bask in the sun, enjoy the warm evenings, and – of course – attend a few weddings. If you love weddings as much as I [...]
