Back from the hills, where we attended probably the most picturesque wedding ever. Will post pictures later (after the return of my dad, who has the camera.) My cousin Anna got married behind this bed and breakfast overlooking pastures and mountains; and as we remarked how perfect the weather was, Anna said, "The Farmer's Almanac is never wrong."
Here's something they ran on the back of their program: "Sautee-Nacoochee Valley is a historical community that has long attracted artists and farmers alike. We choose this rich valley soil as our place to stand together today, and choose one another forever."
Anna and her husband Gabe "jumped the broom" after the ceremony, a tradition I'd never seen or heard of.
After the nuptials, we all moved our chairs around tables for food and drink. My mom said the whole scene reminded her of the movie "Cold Mountain." (Minus the gratuitous sex, violence, war and death, of course.)
To justify posting this wedding news on a health and fitness blog, here is something good for you they had on the reception buffet: salmon. And another thing: A few hours before the wedding, I hiked about four miles on the Appalachian Trail. Which was outstanding.

Hey-- marriage is good for your health so that's another reason to have it on this blog :)
But salmon is good, too.

Good point. How did I overlook that? :)
