Love is in the Air

One day during retreat Jane left in the afternoon to go to Temple quilt guild to listen and meet the author of a book called  The Wedding Dress Quilt by Jeffree Wyn Itrich. This sweet girl came back with a copy of the book for me.  I can't wait to read it.  It's a quilt mystery. I didn't get a cookie and that is okay but I took a picture because it was cute.

 It was time for G3 book club meeting while I was at retreat so Kelli ran the meeting. They discussed Three Ordinary Girls by Tim Brady. It was about 3 young girls who became part in the support/spy for WWWII. They risked their lives to save the Jewish people and aid in the war however they could. The story itself was good but sometimes the book gave you way too much specific information that overwhelmed some and made it hard to read. These 4 silly girls still had a good time!

While I was at retreat Pamela's bridesmaids gave her a bachelorette party in Dripping Springs. The girls did and excellent job of decorating and planning. Each day had a theme. They made Pamela feel very special. One of the girls got sick and wasn't able to make it unfortunately but a good time was had. I had a hard time picking pictures since there was so many cute ones but I did my best.

 

 

Monday (10/14) I ended my last blog with the comment that I would be going to a wedding the next day... So next morning I get up and continue to unpack from retreat and planned on finishing the back for my Texas Flag quilt when David hollers from his office... "What time do we have to go to Magnolia?" Huh?! Oh Crap! It totally slipped my mind. We need to leave no later than 2 because the wedding starts at 4. This is going to be a busy week.

We got ourselves together and lined out for the day. And we left for the wedding. First stop - pick up Pamela and Kaleb and we were rolling down the road. The bride, Kindra was beautiful and so was the Momma of the groom, My sorority sister and long time friend Sheryl.

Congratulations to the cute couple... Aaron and Kindra Harper. I removed the color on one of the pictures. I love the look in black and white.                  
Aaron's son Hudson was so cute. He announced who he was loud and clearly that he had a gift for his Dad and new bride.

My beautiful friend and mother of the groom, Sheryl.

 

Two of Aaron's brothers making their grand entrance.  JR very calm and then there's Richard. LOL  This boy has always been about a grand entrance. Gotta love them. There's a total of 5 Harper boys and they each have a very charming and different personality. 

   

We had a nice time. Of course we had to get some selfies

  

And these two... Future son in law and and David are trouble when together. At one point they were laughing so hard at their own jokes we thought they were going to have a heart attack or explode. You can't put them together without some kind of mischief.  

 

The Mother and Son dance.

David and I actually won a contest. They had the married couples come out on the floor and they started with anyone married under 10 years sit down then 20, 30, and 40 and we were still standing with a couple others so they asked how long we had been married. Our 46 years of marital bliss won. 

These two will be married in 75 more days. I think we're almost all ready.

I know they're ready and counting down the days.

I couldn't get video of the cows being crazy when they heard the bucket shake with cow crack but if you click on the word Cows now it will take you to the video. At least I hope it will. 

Have you ever looked at this sign in the restroom. I kinda laughed because it looks like a man grilling not a changing table. Okay I know my mind works in mysterious ways. LOL

On the October 17th the Harvest Moon was shining bright. I caught it off the patio snapping a picture through the dessert willow branches.  My picture doesn't do it justice.

I guess I better stop for now or you will be on photo overload.
