The Wedding At The Grand

Hey everyone, I hope you all are

well and doing great!  I know it 

has been awhile since I have posted

anything, other than the giveaway.

One of my friends mentioned that 

I hadn't posted more pictures of

my granddaughter's wedding and 

so, I thought I would show you 

the place where she got married. 

It is an old movie theater made 

over for weddings and parties...

This is across the river from Louisville, Ky

in New Albany, IN...

 

I hope so!

 This is their picture out 

front in one of the cases.

This is Brittany in the lobby,

there are two entrances into

the other part and you can see

one of the doors, behind her.

Between the doors, are this lounge

and a huge mirror...

This is on the upper level

I love how they put, what looks

like, clear ornaments in the 

fountain, to look like bubbles.

This one is much bigger and

the food is put around this 

on the round counter...

On the lower level, looking 

toward the stage, waiting for

the rehearsal.

Looking back toward the front and

the balcony, above.

If you didn't want to take the stairs,

you could take the ramp, there is one

on both sides. There is more gold 

railing in the place, I just didn't get 

pictures of all of it.

Beautiful gold mirrors on both sides

of the room....

This beautiful chandelier hangs in 

front of the stage where they perform 

the ceremony and over the dance floor.

This lovely arrangement had

her colors, wisteria and teal, and

it was on our table.

I guess I better show you, the bride 

and groom, just in case you didn't 

see the first group of pictures.

It doesn't seem possible that they

have been married almost 3 months, 

already! 

Well, that is it for tonight and I do 

hope you enjoyed the tour!

Thanks for stopping by....

enter with a total of 307 chances!

I wrote down numbers on several

pages with two rows on each page,

with everyone's names next to 

their numbers in a box....That 

took me a long time!  Well, I 

know you are thinking, "Get on

with it, will ya?" ......Drum roll

please.....The number is 288 and 

the winner is Genevieve of Olde

Pear Prims! Congratulations to

Gen!  I want to thank you all for

Good Place For American Pickers

Hey y'all, I thought you might

like to see this place that Mike

and Frank, on American Pickers,

would love to stop at! It looks 

like it has been closed for years, 

but I would still like to see what 

all is on the inside! I see that Mike

and Frank have been in Texas, too

bad they didn't find this place, 

while there.

I love all the old signs and I know

Frank would be wanting them all!

Looking to the right....

This is looking down the left side of

the building....

I would love to have some of these

old wheels....

I walked along the side for a better

shot of the signs and things along 

the building.

Looking to the left at some more 

great things and another building.

You should be able to click on the 

pictures to make them bigger for

a closer view. Check out those old

bathtubs, I have one of them in my 

other house, it is on legs and good 

to soak in.....The trouble is, I think

is has shrunk over the years (or

maybe the problem is, I got bigger)....

nah, couldn't be the latter ;).....I 

hope you enjoyed seeing this old 

place, thanks for coming along.

If you haven't signed up for my 

giveaway, please do!  All of you that

have signed up, I will be e-mailing

you all in the next few days with how

many chances you have earned. Also,

welcome to my new followers.

I have to tell you to be aware of 

where you are putting your feet!

I was out in the garden on Friday

morning and I felt something bite 

me and looked down and my feet

were covered with fire ants!  I tried

to wash them off with water from 

the hose and it ticked them off!

I have at last count, 113 bites on 

my right foot and 20 on my left!

Some are showing up more as they

start to blister!  I was moving some

grass, etc for mulch around the few 

tomato plants that have survived

this awful heat and I was standing 

in a nest of them! I had sandals 

on and so they had a lot of area to

bite on!......Beware, be very aware,

they might be coming to a yard 

near you!!! 

Talking about surviving the heat,

it was 110 or more most of the past 

week, I think it was Wednesday, 

that it hit 116 degrees! That did not

include the heat index! 

I am going to be staying in the 

house as much as possible,

this week!

Thanks for stopping by and I 

hope y'all stay cool and have 

a great week!
