So you may have noticed that you haven’t seen many posts from Tabler Party of Two during the month of May. There’s a very good reason! My handsome, youngest son, Trevor, married the girl of his dreams, Rachel, this past Sunday. I was blessed beyond words to coordinate this event with Rachel, and things got pretty crazy the last three weeks! Both she and I got very little sleep and our heads were spinning most of the time.

A Sailor at Heart!
I spent many of my childhood and teen-year weekends boating on the Ouachita River and on Bayou Desiard in my hometown of Monroe, Louisiana. We fished, skied, tubed, and just cruised on the smooth-as-glass southern waters. Just after graduating from college, I joined a friend in a sailing regatta in Arkansas.

6 Month Blog-i-versary Celebration & Milestones
Wow! This week I’m celebrating the six month blog-i-versary of Tabler Party of Two! It has been a wild ride to say the least, but I enjoyed (almost) every moment of it! It is so humbling to me that I write, create, and photograph stuff and that people actually read it, comment on it, and share it. What a gift to me that is, dear friends! You’ve stuck with me through my grainy iPhone pictures, my awkward fashion photo shoots, my craft and {Read More}
