happy Tuesday! First off, thanks to Bobby for filling in last week for me. I just can?t run as fast as I used to I guess, although every now and then its fun to give it a try!The wedding was one of the most beautiful I have ever attended. The message during the ceremony was a great lesson for the bride and groom as well as the married couples in attendance. The minister was very smart and laid out the important lessons and commitments that marriage brings as well as all the joys it can hold. The reception was at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island and those folks sure have it together. At breakfast one morning Jack said he was cold and the server showed up two minutes later with a beach towel that she wrapped him up in and said it would make a nice souvenir.... now that?s service. This is the week of our big Deen Family Vacation. The first annual, maybe the last annual, whole fam damily get together. I say the last annual because I am wondering how successful we are going to be able to move 17 people in the same direction at any given time. I have faith and doubts at the same time.....I know these people you understand. I know we will have fun and I sure can use some downtime with Brooke and the baby. As much as we travel, and it?s fun, it is work and I will be turning my phone off for the first time in a year.Over at pauladeen.com we have a new attraction, Get Cookin?, that has been built over the last year or so I guess and launched a few weeks ago. It?s a place for all of us to get together and share stories and trade recipe?s as well as see some behind the scenes video?s of backstage stuff that happens. I think the video up now is of mom on GMA a few weeks ago but keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming footage of mom acting as our make-up person for the last photo shoot Bobby and I did here in Savannah. I noticed Lisa had some comments about trouble signing up but I believe it?s all worked out now so sign up today and join in the fun.I will be gone next week so no blog on the 15th but will be back in two weeks from today with all the details. Thanks as always for checking back in.....y?all do good things-jamie
