Too happy for words (part 1).

Suffice it to say that this weekend was as close to perfect as I could've imagined it. Seriously. I'm sitting here stunned by it all. And I'm tired and sad because he is gone. So I'll just post a bunch of photos from this weekend, along with a few sparse commentaries. (And apparently, I'm going to have to spread this out over several posts b/c Blogger's being a whiny bitch when it comes to posting photos tonight).

We were staying in a cabin on riverfront property between Ingram and Hunt. If you don't know where that is, here's all you need to know: It's one of the most lovely, laidback places you could ever want to visit. And this cabin/land? Magical.

Our shadows in the late afternoon as Mr. Wonderful and I walked down to sit by the river and listen to the kids at the summer camp across from us laugh and squeal.

An amazingly huge cypress tree at the property/riverline. You can't really understand the scale of this sucker until you see a human next to it.
Like here, for instance:Mr. Wonderful is standing right where the dip in the trunk is that joins the two sides of the tree. And Mr. Wonderful is not a short guy--he's about 6' 3". So that might give you some idea how ginormous this tree is.

And here's the view that awaited us when we finally perched ourselves on the old stone landing at the river's edge:

So serene. So amazing.


More to come tomorrow. Night night, my kittens.

This is sweet, but I need more f-bombs. :-)
Happy for you.
