Hubby and I went to a banquet last night to support a Free Medical Center in our area.
It always has GREAT food, cute decorations and VERY interesting speakers.
Taylors Medical Center provides FREE medical care to those without insurance and gives emotional & spiritual help as well.
Notice their logo. The T is a cross, Y is a stethoscope and the R had an Rx on it.
The table had a lantern, which is so popular now, tied with a burlap bow. They used brown and gold napkins and leaves sprinkled on the table.
Our speaker was Lt. Colonel Oliver North. It was a honor to meet and speak with him. He is a highly decorated veteran with a Silver Star, Bronze Star for Valor and two (2) Purple Hearts for wounds in combat.
We enjoyed a delicious meal of chicken, potatoes and veggies. An assortment of desserts followed.
We enjoyed a wonderful speech by the Colonel. He talked about his life, family, & his relationship with Jesus Christ. He then showed us footage of many brave soliders that are fighting in combat to keep us free here on the homeland.
We had an outdoor wedding to go to this week. It was a little unusual, as you will see.
One of which is the groom's dog! lol He wore the same tie as the others!
The bride coming down from the house.
The groom seeing her for the first time. They did their pics after for that very reason. His look is priceless!
I tried to get a close up of the goomsmen's boutonniere. It has two cotton plants along with the flower. We are, after all, in the deep south where it grows.
The dog was so disinterested by now. lol
That's what's been happening here. How's your week been going? Would love to hear about it!

We are so blessed to live in America!
It was a great night!
