Manchester England, England

Every time I think of Manchester, that song from the musical Hair jumps into  my head:

"Manchester England, England....Across the Atlantic Seeeeeeeea. And I'm a genuis genuis...."

...Anyone?

Anyway.... Matt, Frankie, and I are headed to Manchester tonight. We're going to a wedding reception for one of Matt's co-workers. I don't think there's going to be an actual ceremony, just a party. But just in case, Frankie's been practicing how to be a flower girl. She walks around the hallway very slowly, tossing imaginiary flower petals in the air. Her hope that is just in case there is an actual wedding tonight and just in case the real flower girl is sick, Frankie will be able to step in as back up flower girl.

It's very cute.

So, it's a wedding reception tonight, an overnight stay at the White Hart Inn, and a Saturday visit to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. Should be a fun-filled weekend.

(More Paris pictures still to come. Sunday, maybe?)

Have fun! I hope that Frankie somehow gets to toss some flower petals in the air one way or another.

Have fun! Maybe the flower girl will have an unfortunate "accident." ;)

No lie: I sing that song every time I hear the word "Manchester," including references to Manchester Street in Lexington and the "city" of Manchester in Clay County, Kentucky (imagine _Deliverance_ only worse; cue banjoes).
