Gratitude Letter from Bill 2008

 

New Year's Resolutions

I commend my daughters for making resolutions. I must admit that the thought never even entered my mind till I read Linda's and Maria's. Now is that because I do not think I need to change a thing or that I think I am past hope of any improvement at all...??? Obviously it is the latter, at my age it is all downhill from here...Happy New Year!

Let it Snow, Let It Snow!

I have been in Southern California for almost three weeks now and though it is cool at times, there is snow at my home!! So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Images of Meagan's Wedding

The ceremony of Matt and Meagan's wedding was held in the living room of James and Cambers home. It was very touching and personal and a history of their acquaintance and romance preceded the vows. The courtyard was used for the eating, cake cutting and the innovative delight for all, "the candy bar". After delicious snacks of all kinds, there was dancing to a terrific band by the pool. It was a fun, festive wedding that went from 3:30 till 9 pm. Meagan's mother Jennifer had made beautiful place settings and lovely shawls were given to all the women. Terrific toasts were given and the traditional first dance and throwing of the bouquet. As a sidelight, Lea, 8 year old daughter of James, caught the bouquet, just as she did at her aunt Kelsi's wedding...
