Dear family and friends,

The kids took up the celebration gauntlet with a passion. Dustin, Sarah, Aaron and Jeremy stayed the week with me. Nephew Hampton Rutledge was (and remains) a huge help. You can see their achievements below.

I think everyone my bride touched has a “Nora story” or “Nora moment,” maybe even a Nora photo. To make the day even more enjoyable, send your stories and/or photos to celebratenora@gmail.com. Just attach or include it in the body of the email. Or you can send hard copy to: 608 Boyd Creek Drive, Ridgeland, SC 29936. I’ll display them.

A block of hotel rooms is now officially set aside for the weekend, under the name Rutledge, at Baymont Inn and Suites, Yemassee, SC (10 minutes away), 1-866-235-8098.

I stand corrected (in so many ways): It will be Lowcountry Boil, not Frogmore Stew. Speaking of food, if anyone has any dietary restrictions, please let me know.

Here’s what the kids did.
