In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Quite some time ago, I'd suspect maybe as long as two or three months ago (which is a very long time in these forums) I posted a plea for help in decorating the dining hall for my son's rehearsal dinner. I recieved some very good suggestions from many of you on these forums. My son is an avid fisherman, outdoorsy type and my new daughter-in-law is a musician/pianist, so I tried to docorate in themes that reflected both of their interests. Their wedding was last week and I thought everthing was so beautifully done and went off without a hitch. I'm going to try to post a few pics here. (I hope you will be able to pull them up. I've had a lot of trouble posting pictures here in these forums but maybe they'll work this time.)

This is the "wedding cake," made from cupcakes. I thought it was very pretty and ingenious. All of her flowers were white tulips, which were so elegant but also very simple.

The background was a piece of driftwood and the two pictures frames are some that I found at a yard sale. I put pictures of my son and his girlfriend when they were about 4 or 5 years old into them. Then the music sheets are some pages taken from an old hymn book that I tore out and burned the edges of, and the miniature gold piano I found at a dollar store. Then the bobber and fishing flies were things I found in my son's tackelbox. The wooden "candle tray" was also something that he and his girlfriend found at the riverbank when they got the driftwood for me.

Your pictures didnt' work!!! I really want to see them cause they sound great from your description!!!

Oh help and bother! I can see them so why can't other people? Too bad. I'll have to try using a different webpage to upload my pictures to so I can post them in these forums. Give me a few days and I'll try to re-post them. :sigh:

Yes, and that used to work great, but one day that no longer worked and after troubleshooting with CF, my computer, my ISP, and not coming to a solution, I bypassed that and uploaded my pictures to a website so I could post them directly into my posts. That worked for a while and then one day someone told me that my pictures weren't showing in my posts. Well, they show up on mine, but I can't understand why they don't on other computers. I have more work cut out for me, so if you'll be patient I'll try to get things ironed out. It's very unhandy.

I went through Internet Explorer to do this and it seems to be working. I hope it works in your browser.

Above are the decorations that I had at the rehearsal supper. The cake/cupcakes were the bride's ingenious idea for serving the bride's cake. It was very pretty.

well I'll be! This is the strangest thing. I used a different web host (photobucket.com) for my pics the last time, so now I know that it was my ISP's web host that was the problem. You live and learn. Thanks for your patience with me.

Now that I can post pics, how do you like this one? The bride and groom (my son.) The bride was wearing my jacket because it was chilly in the shade where they were having their formal pictures made. This picture was not a posed one but just one that I caught. I think it's so cute.
