Sunday began with outdoor breakfast
at which the waiter
was incognito and the food
looked very good before we greeted the others
|
who were eating inside and did some bunny tricks
|
with our napkins before deciding
to abandon the heat and join the inside group
|
even as more assembled
for breakfast and we met Gregory's former room mate
who is going to heal horses as we headed upstairs and relaxed
|
before heading down to admire Janet's quilt
with the troups
before Ben
led us to a couch
where this group picture was taken.
Next we drove downtown and gave this gentleman
$4 to park in his lot as the other car
arrived and we admired the geometric building
as we made our way across the street
to the Nasher Sculpture Center
and once there
took a few pictures in the entryway
before getting tickets
and posing with some sculptures
and enjoying others
including the typewriter eraser
and the Roy Lichtenstein
and the clothespin (original in Philadelphia)
and this one
with the hidden person and this one
that was covered by random digits as well as a few more
before heading outside to see an interesting collection
including one like the PU art museum one
and the states
and to group with the standing people who had arms
|
as opposed to the Princeton people who don't and the workman
who moved his arm and this colorful sculpture
after which we ran into the others
and observed the sun
to Suzanne's delight
from the inner chamber before proceeding to a few more sculptures
and taking many pictures amidst the food line
with a break for the skyline
before taking more
|
While we were waiting for the crowd to clear the gift shop, Sarah
did some experimental photography of the rain outside
the walls
the construction
|
the people in the gift shop
and her flipflops and feet
before Jason
and Michelle
discussed wrist bands
and Grandma
suggested it was time to head back where the seats
were ready and those gathered
were enjoying lunch while the rest of us headed to Mercado
Juarez Cafe
for group pictures
and lunch as we all
over ordered
|
very good food and ate a little too much hoping that our clothes would still
fit.
After a short break, each of us
|
finished getting dressed and I tried mirror pictures
which never work and a head on shot
from a bad angle before getting pictures of the family members
getting ready for the wedding. Once downstairs, we greeted the Meyer-Roux's
and Janet and Dansyl
and then Janet and Syl
as Dan
showed off his tux and Michelle and Fran
appeared while we had to walk past the grimy ash tray
en route to the couples
listening to the string quartet
as Lois
found her seat and we looked at the crowd
as Alon
was undoubtedly taking a picture of the chupah
to Fran's amusement
as Ben
posed for Jason
and Serge used old technology
to take pictures that must have been like this picture of the Pinkels
or these self portraits
and this profile
as Dansyl
and then Larry and Janet
were all seated
as Matt
settled in and the groomsmen
|
in various configurations waited for the bridesmaids
|
to settle and for the ring bearers
to come forth in the wagon and get ready
to sit through the ceremony. As the ceremony progressed
|
the ring bearers
observed as they were pronounced
and then shown
as husband and wife. This led to the usual round
|
of family photos as the crowds cleared
for more photos
and Ben and Jane
and then the 5 of us
and then the 7 of us
before the Dick and Fran family tree
posed for this camera
before separating into these generations
and this one
not to mention Jean and Lois
and a few shoe pictures
followed by many pictures of the babies in their wagon
|
as we dissembled
and headed away to the bar
only to have to return for family pictures
and then Paige
and Greg and Erin
before the photographers
took this picture (and maybe a few more)
and sent us back to eat.
At our table, were Mikey and Hon
Beast and Barb
and their kids
not to mention cousin John
who was at the next table. The cameras were rolling
for the first dance
as Ben
had his fruit
and I had my salad
with pretty butter pats
and sorbet
as we took pictures of Mikey's family
until the chicken nuggets came
and the kids posed with their Heinz bottles
in the hope that this would get John Kerry elected. Suzanne
had this
and I had this
with her red wine
and my white
to amuse us as the cookies came
and Ben
went to visit Sylvia
and he and Rob
tried to amuse Sylvia
as the couple
took to the dance floor bringing out the photographers
who recorded this
as Ben and Sean
were amused as Dan
learned that Donna's daughter had given birth and various family members
thought about dancing
and then recorded that we did
as they went off with the camera and took a lot of pictures
|
before I got this picture of Dick and Larry
and Alon and Mikey
as the cakes appeared
and Dansyl watched
as they were cut
and the crowds watched
as bride and groom
fed each and I tried to get too close
and then was able to see Ben's mouth
before the birthday girls appeared
and the bride and groom
played the ``how well do you know each other'' game as things blurred
before I got a picture
of the blended family and one of brother and sister
and Jane
and Suzanne holding a baby
as the chairs were lifted for bride and groom
|
and for the groom's parents
and for the bride's parents
before Mikey and Jane danced
and we said good night to the babies
and decided to call it a day.
