And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

We went to a niece's wedding in San Diego this past weekend and it was very nice. We had a good time with family and some sightseeing around town. Like a dummy, I did not put on sunscreen before the wedding, nor did I have on a hat, so I did get some sunburn.

Well, you can see we arrived at the beach and the clouds parted and there was a sign. No, I mean it. A physical sign directing us to the seating area and the reception area. You can see that some people chose to take the "shoes optional" part of the sign literally.

Here is the table used for the sand mixing part of the ceremony (the symbolization of the joining of separate lives into a new oneness). You can see there is an empty jar in the middle, a jar with brown sand on the left and one with blue sand on the right. What does that look like once they are blended?

It looks a whole lot like this.

I read that the Pope told new priests, "No more boring sermons." He also used the word 'assiduously' and asked them to not hurry through the Mass. “When you celebrate Mass, be aware of what you are doing. Do not rush through it!” he said.

"Health experts currently recommend limiting children and teenagers to less than two hours of screen time each day." Now, who among you parents is going to try and limit your teenagers time of watching television? maybe you can for the younger kids, but teens? Why should you care? It seems "just ONE hour of TV a day doubles the risk of a child becoming overweight or obese."

Years ago, our family was on vacation in Arkansas and we went to a state park to dig for diamonds. Sounds crazy, right? The park is the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, AR, and over 75,000 diamonds have been found there over the years. We didn't find any, but this week, a woman did find a 3.69-carat diamond.

"This Chocolate Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Bread only has 2 ingredients: cinnamon rolls and chocolate spread! And easy breakfast for any special day, it's on the table in under 30 minutes!" Or so claims the recipe. Still, it does sound quite tasty. Why don't one of you test and taste for me and report back?

I was going to share this link about 15 strange fruits from around the world, but I have only tried four of them. So, I decided not to share it. How many have you tried?

I need to get ready for a day of nonstop meetings, so no more blogging this morning. Y'all have a great day.
