Well, did you watch the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton? I certainly did! Last week I had the privilege of visiting family in Texas. While staying with my sister, she and I drove to our parents' house and spent a couple of nights with them. I wasn't surprised to see that my Mother had already "set the stage" for the Royal Wedding.
