Tracy and I had wonderful news recently. Jerrod Ivy, Tracy's step-son since he was just three years old, has asked Jenette Brininger to marry him. We could not be more thrilled. The wedding is set for June 30 in Mesquite, TX. The lovely couple honored me by letting me take their engagement photos. It just brought so much joy to me to see their two fresh and young faces, with their whole lives ahead of them. Both smart and sensible and clearly in love.
We took photos on a muggy August morning, in the last days of the hottest Texas summer on record. And they were still smiling! Tracy made a fine photographer's assistant, carrying props from one place to another. As he and I close in on our first wedding anniversary, being a part of this great celebration makes it all the sweeter.
More good news, it looks like the 100-plus days are for the most part gone. None are in the forseeable forecast. I rode my bicycle this morning and was ALMOST a tiny bit chilled when I first started. Almost.
Glen Rose had its second annual Neo Relix Film Festival this weekend. I was a volunteer movie screener so got a free pass for the weekend. One of the highlights for me was Child of Giants: My Journey With Maynard Dixon and Dorothea Lange, a documentary about and narrated by their son Daniel. Tom Ropelewski, Daniel's son-in-law, directed and produced. Tracy and I got to chat with him a bit and learned more about this fascinating family. I also very much enjoyed Bag It, a sobering conservation documentary about where all of our single-use plastic cups, bags and bottles end up, and Sh! and Sushi, a movie and dinner event to watch a sneak preview of a documentary by an Austinite. All in all a great event, and I hope we get even more attendees next year!!
Tracy and I are headed to church this morning and then off to College Station. It is that time of year....first game of the season tonight for A & M. He watched movies with me yesterday, I will watch the game with him tonight....give and take!!
Have a safe Labor Day weekend!
