Stanley, as an uninvited guest, did go to a country wedding on Sat. evening. A young couple from church got hitched out in the yard... the wedding venue was a cleared out patch under the pecan trees, surrounded by family, friends and rows of planted pines. The bridesmaids all wore whatever, with bare feet, and the grooms men were in khakis and white shirts. Very Informal. The groom was probably in the first suit he ever owned. Sweet and happy couple. The reception was in front of the brides' (former) home, where her parents live, with lots of rustic decorations, like the agricultural equipment you see Stanley standing on in the first photo.
The second photo is of my (long lost) friend who lived at Ft. Benning when we were pregnant with first babies (now thirty!???), who came to ATL for a family wedding this weekend. We met and had too much good eats at daughter's work place: a plug for the local well-known live music venue in downtown Decatur, Eddie's Attic.
The other photos were taken Sunday evening as we were roaming the streets unsupervised in downtown. One by the gazebo behind the Old Courthouse, that sits above the underground Marta Station for downtown Decatur. And one in the CVS down on the corner, right there, smack dab on East Ponce de Leon Street, in front of the aisle full of Halloween decor and candy. There were others that we should have taken when it was not so dark, but that is what happens when we are left to our own devices with no adult supervision... so you probably won't see the others taken around the courthouse/downtown area.
But you will see photos when I sent him off with the friend, E., who is visiting in Decatur, as she is going back home. She has agreed to take Stan the Man on a little side adventure: he is going to the west coast. I hope we get the prize for a Stanley having travelled the greatest distance, like you do when you go to family reunions, and get a cupcake for having travelled from Mars to attend.
