Superb weekend, despite the Travel Gods of Washington DC frowning upon my brother's attempts to get out of the US...
The christening of Lily May is complete (she is just made to be a Tennessee Williams heroine; must work on her Southern Belle accent when, you know, she starts speaking. "Why Lily May, ah belieeeeve you have a gentleman caller...") . I officially featured during the ceremony; the priest periodically broke off from Christianey liturgical things to say things like "Camera Lady, if you'd like to come up here to take photos. The anointing with the oil will only happen once..."
No pressure or anything. Took several thousand photos, none of which are yet downloaded.
Have enjoyed days of much conversation over much wine with (almost all) the family; and my mom's decided to spend a few days in Baltimore, so the trend looks set to continue this week...
Speaking of which, I'd better get back to it

Speaking as Lily May's Big Daddy, could you please not wish a Tennessee Williams life on her? From my recollection, life was not exactly a tun of laughs for his heroines :o)
Anyway, it was a fabulous weekend and thanks for the part you played in it, Camera lady. The star of the show is happily settled back home now, all Christened and official and is spending most of her waking hours practising for the world smiling championships. Which is nice. M
How sweet is that!! Smiling championships - just adorable.
Okay, sans T. Williams then. I've been trying to think of a happy Southern Belle scenario, but nothing comes to mind. However, there is time...
