Happy Anniversary

After 30 years, we just had to celebrate tonight. When I look back to November 1983, I was nearing my graduation from UW-Stout and Bike man was still attending classes.  Wow, it seems so long ago.  A lot has happened in the last 30 years.....Happy Anniversary honey.

A Fall Wedding

What a gorgeous day for a wedding.  Sunny skies and 50+ degrees near Minneapolis, MN. 

 

Bike man and I were on wedding duty last Sunday.  Our daughter's best friend was getting married, so we were there to help.

 

Lots of decorating and set up.  Isn't that what weddings are all about?

 

The barn was so unique and rustic.

 

The soup and stew was made three weeks ago by our daughter Becca and me!  My favorite was the Chicken Wild Rice soup.

 

The bride Artena and her dad Steve.....awwwh, so touching.

 

The beautiful bridesmaids, Whitney, TJ, and Anna.  Our daughter Becca  (left) was the Maid of Honor.  The late afternoon sun was perfect.

 

The wedding ceremony of Artena & Dana....

 

Wedding planner/coordinator Eileen.

 

College friend Theresa.....thanks for all your help!

 

Soul sisters, Whitney and Becca.

 

The brides parents, Steve and Arlene.

 

Man of Valiance, Joshua and Maid of Honor, Becca.  Great wedding and I'm glad Bike man and I could be a part of the celebration. 

Isabel Suppe

Isabel Suppe & Aiden

 

 

So Aiden has a new friend.  Isabel Suppe, from Argentina, is staying with us for several night.  Isabel was my author presenter tonight at my public library.  It's been great having Isabel as our guest, and of course the cats love her, and thank heavens she loves cats.  I highly recommend Isabel's book, Starry Night, which tells the story of Isabel's ice climbing accident and how she survived for 2 days and 2 nights in the Bolivian Andes.  It's an amazing story of survival and a must read.
