We had a great time at Lane (nephew) and Nikki's wedding on Saturday! They wrote their own vows and it was beautiful and touching to hear them speak those loving and tender words to each other. It was a great chance to spend time with family and do some dancing...what is a wedding reception without the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance?? Here are some pics including one of the cousins and one of the cousins plus significant others.
My sister and her family are up at the resort this week and it was great to have a spaghetti dinner with some of the kids on Sunday night. They also came over for breakfast on Monday morning. We particularly liked Derby (Matt's dog) laid out on the floor in this picture in our cabin.
Bill went fishing up the river with Matt and Cam on Monday while Mary and I road tripped to Big Fork to get some supplies. We got to town about 11:00 and saw a sign that said the liquor store opened at 12:00 so we decided to spend some time having coffee and cheese cake (homemade and wonderful!!) at the Husky Cafe. We had a good laugh when we got to the store at 12:00 and realized that sign was for the bar part and the liquor store had been open the whole time! However, we did not regret having spent the time talking and catching up!
It was beautiful outside on Monday afternoon so Mary and I went out on the lake on air mattresses. What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours...drifting on the water and talking about nothing and everything! Someone could have made a lot of money if they had recorded the two of us trying to pull ourselves out of the water! Since there is not a beach and it is kind of weedy at the shore, we decided to sit sideways on our air mattresses and put our feet on the dock brace and pull ourselves up on the pole. Mary went first and I was laughing so hard that I had no strength left in my arms and just about fell off my air mattress just holding on to the pole!
Yesterday was a day to stay inside due to the storms that went through and rain that lasted most of the day. It did end up being a beautiful evening and we were able to eat dinner outside and enjoy the lake view. Mary and I tried to play Scrabble later in the evening and while I think Mary would have won if we had kept score, we also helped each other so it wasn't much of a competition. We also decided that we might have played better if we had skipped the gin and tonics we had with supper!!
Today is muggy and sticky and the thunder is starting to rumble...so much for my plans to spend some more time on the air mattress on the lake again (since things are a little slow at the resort this week)! Oh, well, life goes on and I am blessed to have family around to visit!!
