Smiley: Days of stars and roses - The Advocate
Tuesday, May 23, 2017I built the bed a week ahead of filming, and waited until the afternoon before to plant the roses so they would be fresh in the scenes."The first scene began with Burgess Meredith going through the motions of tending the roses, and these scenes were filmed over and over."It was very hot and humid, and by noon the blooms were wilting and dropping some of their petals."In desperation, I went to a local florist and purchased several dozen refrigerated roses with long stems. I cut off the wilted blooms and tied them on the plants with green twist ties."After a short time they would wilt and droop down, and I had to keep repeating this until all scenes were approved by the director late that afternoon."A very challenging day trying to keep a rose garden looking real with thawing, wilted roses."Crash courseJ.R. Clary Jr. adds to our discussion of air travel:"My dad, Jimmy Clary, is a retired civil engineer and, at 83, remains the master of the quick quip."Many of those comments are now part of our family lore, and your series on airline travel has us chuckling about one of them."When flying commercially, Jimmy — like everyone else in the aluminum tube — is quietly focused during the landing process."As soon as the plane's wheels touch the runway and while the jet is zipping down the tarmac, the nose wheel descending, Dad will lean over to whoever his seat mate might be and cheerfully say, just loud enough for folks around to hear: 'It ain't nothin' but a reeeeeeal bad car wreck now!'"Blessed good pizzaMike Romano, of Lake Rosemound, recalls the days when the only sources for pizzas in Baton Rouge were Fleur-de-Lis on Government Street and Leon's Italian Kitchen on Weller Avenue."My first job after graduating from LSU was in the Ourso building on Plank Road.

Weddings of the Year: Four couples wed during the pandemic - BethesdaMagazine.com
Sunday, February 28, 2021Carly’s parents’ backyard in Potomac. Kevin and Carly began wedding planning before the pandemic. They hoped to invite 250 to 300 guests to stay at the Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia, for a weekend. But as the public health situation worsened, they held off on finalizing anything. In May, Carly’s company encouraged staff to take time off, so she and Kevin drove across the country to spend a month in Maryland. While here, they decided they wanted to get married and move to Maryland, so they extended their stay. Kevin’s family rented an RV to come from California for the wedding, which included 26 guests.Photo by Michael Bennett KressThe ceremony: Carly is Jewish, and Kevin is not religious. For the ceremony, “we wanted to keep some of the traditions but make sure they were explained and felt meaningful to us,” Carly says. Her rabbi officiated the wedding, and the couple wrote their own vows. The two wed beneath a chuppah, a canopy used in Jewish weddings. The chuppah was wooden and covered in string lights, leaves and white and purple flowers. The cloth for the chuppah was Carly’s grandfather’s tallit (Jewish prayer shawl). In Jewish weddings, it is traditional for a rabbi to say a blessing before the bride and groom drink wine from a Kiddush cup. Their parents each poured wine into a Kiddush cup that Carly and Kevin drank from—“to show the extensions of traditions and family,” Carly says.p... https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-magazine/january-february-2021/weddings-of-the-year-4/
