The Old Folks Home

[Wisher1000]

We just got back yesterday evening and today I am home catching up on laundry and grocery shopping.

As much as I was excited for the wedding, I am even more excited for the grandchild. They are going to be great parents and they have a lot of family around to help out. OK on to the pictures. Now I did not get any of the actual ceremony since I wanted to watch instead of be distracted taking photos but I will share those from her photographer once she gets them.



This is my favorite pic, she looks so happy.




DiDi, all dressed up!





This is her grandmother's rosary. DD wanted to honor her memory by entwining it into her bouquet.
What a lovely gesture, she is a wonderful girl.


This is almost all of her cousins from her dad's side of the family. It was so great to see all of them again. Wonderful day, wonderful company!

I hope you are able to visit often and that you get to spend lots and lots of time with that baby. Congratulations all around, but especially to you, Grandma!

Gas is $2.98 a gallon now

That would be a sweet price... I can barely remember when it was that cheap.maybe early nineties.

Oh and the wedding looks like a fun affair. I haven't been to one in a while.

***? oh.... in Alabama.... not here I need to put fuel in my truck.... Last time was almost 5.00 a gallon.

I can only afford ten gallons at a time .... enough to drive to my house and back and enough to do errands up there... 120 miles round trip so I want a little extra just in case.

Speaking of fuel.... I really do have to fuel up...

May neighbor Tom just called and the feed store didn't bring his chicken food.... So now I have to drive 120 miles, round trip, to bring a single bag of lay pellets.

Oh well I have stuff in the back of the truck that needs to go up there any way. The heat wave finally broke. Up till about three days ago we were having triple digits... Truck has no AC.... So 440 AC will be decent.... 4 windows open 40 miles per hour....

Tom is a godsend He feeds my horse and makes sure shes ok. in exchange I buy food for his animals.

Quote: I am going to thank you. We are going to the co-op later this week and I am going to look and see what I can find. I just really don't have room for any more 50# bags right now hoping I can find some smaller bags. lol
Dh and I were amazed at how quickly it sprouted.

I have to apologize but I have to skip over the last few days of posting. We just got back yesterday evening and today I am home catching up on laundry and grocery shopping. I hope no one had any calamities and but that a lot of people had good things happen.
I had such a wonderful time up in NY. Not just because of the wedding (although it was just fabulous!). DD's inlaws are about the best family you could hope a son or daughter married into. Just super nice, super loving, close knit and would do anything for each other. His mom welcomed me into the family and I am honestly honored to be considered family. I am also "allowed"

to talk about the grandchild since just about everyone knows now. As much as I was excited for the wedding, I am even more excited for the grandchild. They are going to be great parents and they have a lot of family around to help out. OK on to the pictures. Now I did not get any of the actual ceremony since I wanted to watch instead of be distracted taking photos but I will share those from her photographer once she gets them.

DD, friends and family decorated a lot of bottles for the centerpieces. Each one was different.

Lovely pictures and it looks like it was a wonderful day for everyone!

Maybe you should have one!

Just teasing, vehve; I've never been one to meddle in others' affairs.

Seriously, sounds and looks like the wedding truly was a joyous occasion. The bride looks radiant (and pregnant; looks like the cat would have been out of the bag whether she wanted it to be or not), hey, even the horse looks happy, even if it did take some persuasion to get it there.

My Daughters always loved the sourdough. They could not get enough of it.

I make bagels, English muffins and pancakes with it too.

I can see I'll need to get a sourdough cookbook
