THE REHEARSAL was an ART WALK...and...BEST FRIENDS...BEST MEN!

good wedding morning lovelies!

today's the day!

as i mentioned in a previous post, i knew on the eve of this day, i (and we) would be Sleepless in Seattle!

our nests and hearts are pretty much in overflow!

here's a peek at the rehearsal! 

the rehearsal was held on "First Thursday".

since the 1960's, Pioneer Square's Victorian storefronts and dusty upper floors have provided

a haven for gallery owners and artists. today this artistic community is the center of Seattle's 

art scene. "First Thursday in Pioneer Square" is the first Art Walk in the USA.

Mr D and i were so very privileged to chauffeur Ty's mother and father, his grandmother,

cousin and ring barer to the rehearsal and dinner. 

while at the rehearsal dinner, i grabbed an image of Ty and Jay.

it made think of the allstar image that Mr D caught of the two of them years ago!

 from T-ball, to the All Stars, to Stadium High and Washington State University...

once again...side by side as Ty marries beautiful Anna tonight!

 best friends!

best men!

oh...and...GO COUGS!!!!!

withLove!

of Thursday morning.

one of the biggest things that i have missed about not having

a deck for a year has been not being able to air our laundry.

( i know it's not proper in some communities to air one's washing...

...but there is something special about pretty things drifting and drying?)

the laundry i share next are words of laundry love.

at my physical, last February, my primary care Dr Anna asked me...

"Lynne, when was the last time you saw your eye doctor?"

(ooops!   i was about six months past due on my annual eye exam.)

i promptly made an appointment.

Dr J said, "Lynne, have you noticed headaches on your brow line... pressure?"

"yes..."

"i'm at the computer all day at work...and i blog!"

(i just thought it was severe eye strain.)

like most changes in health, you adapt and may not notice at first.

...narrow angle glaucoma?

really?

...no family history.

gheeeesch!

caught early, lovelies!

over the past three months, i received the necessary treatments.

first with drops, then followed by a minor laser procedure on both eyes. 

my last laser treatment was ten days ago.

i cut my home computer time in half during this time. 

(that's why my comments after visits have been limited of late.)

the difference is amazing!  

the brow line headaches are gone.

the pressure and sensation of eye strain is behind me. 

please, please, please...see your ophthalmologist once a year!

(especially after age 50.)

wear those shades!

eye shading lovelies, eyes shading!

jux·ta·little reminder!
