Where do I begin??? I'm laughing so hard my sides are splitting from those womanless wedding photos!!!! Yes, Philip, you make quite the lovely bride! Don't know who's more handsome, you or "your groom"!!! HA!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect choice of parade grand marshalls! Both Mr. O'Neal and "Ms. Blanche" looked like they were really having a "grand" time!!! Great pics of both!
July 4th on Ocracoke had it all!!! Even without the fireworks, I don't believe you missed much!!!! What a celebration.
Thanks so much for sharing!
It was a great day on Ocracoke - and your float was toooo funny. You do make quite a lovely lady - be careful on the island. And Mr Bill is getting rather comfy in his dress! Thanks for great pics. And a belated Happy Independence day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! And Philip, you were never lovelier.
ReplyDeletewell, should i need to borrow a dress next time I'm out your way, i guess I know who to ask ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing! Great pics!
Did Blackbeard make an appearance?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see Blackbeard, but I did see Elvis!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was viewing photos from a parade just a parade not a charade of a parade from key west.
ReplyDeleteOf course you didn't see Blackbeard. He won't attend if Elvis is there. I heard he can't stand to be in the same place with anybody who makes more money dead than alive than HE does.
