Susan and Raymond have created a wonderful little retreat and spa on Royder Rd (on the right side just before you get to the turn for 7F) called The Nest.

was invited to The Nest’s Grand Opening, so I offered to shoot the event for her.

In celebration we share; in each other, we care.

The alpacas were wonderful to meet and to greet!


Even when “stuffed” they have coats all a fluff!

Their coat, when spun, makes dressing for winter fun!

Door prizes galore, from lots of local stores!

Susan is greeting; all about she is fleeting!


Handwriting analysis a popular “psychoanalysis”…

…and the food! oh my! Everything I must try!

Susan, a great hostess, didn’t forget! She gave favors to all of the guests

A firepit was built in memory of one…

…and our weatherman, Bob French, a few songs he had sung.

A spa blessing like none that you’ve ever seen…

…and the firepit dedication was a tear-jerking scene!

Of course, it’s not a party until something gets broken


New friends to love, and a bond that’s unspoken

It all come packaged in this place truly blessed


This woman and her hero? They offer The Nest!

Congratulations, Susan and Raymond. I can’t wait to come get a massage!

There are several, legitimate reasons to host an adults-only wedding & reception (or other party/event):

• squealing babies and toddlers are not good background noise for your wedding video (or banquet/award ceremony)
• capacity (and fire codes) could be a concern at your venue(s), and you might prefer to invite more of your own friends
• your reception may include a cocktail-party atmosphere where children would not be comfortable
• you may prefer that your guests have a nice experience without the distractions of discipline, potty trips, and toddler entertainment
• weddings are not usually fun for kids: uncomfortable clothes, adult food, nothing to “do”
• if rowdy children cause any damage to the facilty or any equipment or rentals, you will incur fees from that vendor

Many people feel that a wedding is an adult event. While most good parents will talk to their children about the kind of behavior expected at such an important occassion, there is almost always someone who is neglectful in this manner.

Should you choose an adult-only wedding, reception or party, you might consider some ideas in this Washington Post article from Miss Manners — where she suggests separate, matching invitations for kids to a corresponding Children’s Party.

can easily help you plan a Children’s Party that will keep them busy and entertained.

A separate Children’s Party

• won’t add too much to your wedding budget
• will make for a nicer event for you, your guests, and the kids

…because everything should be just…
