A Lovely Country Wedding

It was a great day, last Sunday.  It started out with a shower and some cooler air which was very welcome.  Soon it cleared and the sun came out, insuring a great afternoon for an outdoor wedding!
All the preparations complete, or nearly so by noontime.  Grandson Patrick and his lovely bride, Lindsay, so happy and excited and guests arriving.  I will tell the story with some pictures.  It was a very nice time and everything went well.

Good Job,  by friends of the bride and groom !

Such a sweet couple and Selena thoroughly enjoyed the day!   The 'kids' are back now from a honeymoon trip to the beach.  They have many good memories to cherish of their special day with friends and family.

Still the summer stays busy!  Today was Family Reunion day... Den's family and it is always a special time as we gather in the hills at cousin Tim's for fun and food and catching up with each other as another year has passed.  How the time has flown!  Keeping the generations in order takes effort!  There are so many now.  I think the oldest attending the party was 95 years young!  The youngest this year was probably around 3.  We were blessed with a lovely day, nice, warm and sunny but not hot nor humid.

So it's been a busy day and now it's time to rest.  I hope you are all having a good summer with some fulfilling  good times and that you are making lots of good memories.

 Here we are in mid July already!  Where is the summer going?  Such a busy one too!  Took our annual trip to the Northesat Kingdom the weekend of the 4th.  Had a wonderful time with our grandson and family and especially with the two little gr. granddaughters. They are growing so fast and amaze us with all they learn.

Then we spent a morning with my friend Jane and met her daughter whom I had not seen since she was a toddler. That was a super good time and they made us a lovely lunch.  Thanks, Jane and Sharon!
Then off to the top of the mountain to visit cousins, Mick and DonnaMae for the their birthday celebrations and some awesome fireworks displays, eight towns within a 180 degree range of view from their patio !,  Plus the great display put on there atop the mountain by the M. brothers! Thanks guys and also a big thank you to our hosts who put on a fabulous and yummy BBQ.
Then, next day we are off in the Gypsy Wagon for home.  Of course there is always time for lunch at Exit 17 at the Truck Stop!

The gardens are thriving really well, veggie and flowers alike.  We are preparing for a wedding on Sunday... Our grandson Patrick and his bride to be, Lindsay are planning an outdoor wedding.   The bridal shower was a couple of Sundays ago.  Everyone is all excited and we are hoping for the picture perfect day. Last session of therapy this morning for my ailing back.  Sure hope these have cured the sciatica problems!  Now for the final little wait for Pat and Lindsay's big day!  will write of the event and post some pictures later.   Enjoy the lovely sweet summer days The Lord has blessed us with.
