For a short time we lived in the frozen state of Rhode Island.  Burr!  Southern babies don't like that.  But like other little girls, I played with baby dolls and pretended to be a good mama.

"More chicken, please!"

Me and Buttons the cat, cuddling by the hearth.

My husband and I eloped to Turks & Caicos, British West Indies.  We were married by an island preacher a full foot (or more, in Jim's case!) shorter than us.  After we took our vows in the garden, we headed to the shoreline to capture the beauty of the moment.
