love and the supremes

Im not sure if trying to recreate the dirty dancing shot is a great idea when you're pregnant...but it made for a happy photographer. Look at that leg pop.

These are pics of a kid I've watched grow up...His parents took me in when I was a hot mess and let me be who I was. I even lived with them for a few months. They live in a sweet pad in south knoxville where people tend to congregate and drink beer and eat dear meet hangburgers by the handful and usually overstay their welcome sittin on the porch and watching deer leap across the yard. There's a fire when its cold and a grill burning when it's hot with a big circle of people gossiping and laughing and peaceful silences...but not many.

It's one of my favorite places. She likes to talk about Jane Eyre and knits beautiful things. He dips and watches golf and flirts with the girls and if there's a lot of Crown Royal and a few too many beers, they start casting evil spirits out of the dogs. It makes for interesting evenings, and no shortage of good stories.

Their son, who is supposed to be 14, but somehow is in college now, has decided to go off and make a baby and get married. They're real young, but are surrounded by more love than most people see in a lifetime. Lots of sisters and in laws and tow headed baby cousins runnin' around. Im lookin forward to seein this baby, and ring in the wedding in June at the Botanical Gardens.

Katie-girl, the bride, is gorgeous and dark skinned, and we're all pullin' for the little one to look like her.

What's on my playlist: Did you know the Supremes did a version of Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch? Me neither.
