Congratulations Greg and Liz: June 27, 2009

Just sharing a few wedding photos with you all!












Many blessings to the bride and groom for a wonderful life together, full of faith, hope, and love.

Wedding in the family

I love weddings, but haven't been to one in awhile. The last family wedding was when Arthur and I were married! Finally, another wedding in our family is coming up very soon.

One of Arthur's middle sons, Gregory, will be marrying his lovely fiance Elizabeth the end of this month. It's been pretty much the subject of most conversations this week.

"How many more days until the wedding?"

"Who do you think will be at the wedding?"

"I sure hope the weather is better for the wedding than when Dom and Jen got married."

"Mom! I'm going to need new dress pants for the wedding! Mine are two inches too short."

"Greg and Liz make such a nice couple. I hope I don't cry too much at the wedding!"

"Which dress should I wear to the wedding, Momma? The flowered one or the solid one?"

Weddings are special, love is beautiful, and the time immediately before the wedding has an air of magic. I hope the bride and groom are enjoying these magical days that are leading up to the big event as much as we are!

My Redbud Runners

We have had a busy weekend. For one thing, Shelby and John ran their first official race. Arthur's son Gregory and his fiance Elizabeth visited this weekend, and they are avid runners, so they all decided to run in the Redbud Classic. From left toright: Alex, Shelby, John, Greg and Elizabeth. Greg is the twin brother of Matthew who, if you remember this post, is due to run the Boston Marathon in a couple of weeks.

We won't know the race results for a few days, but it doesn't really matter. It was just so great that they did it! :) Next year, perhaps Arthur and I will run. (LOL, yeah, right!)

The end of vacation

I am one of the rare people that still thinks that road trips are awesome! Here are a few snapshots from the end of our trip.



We drove along Lake Huron in Canada for several miles.


Here is the Blue Water Bridge from Canada into the USA. We were lucky to get across that day... they closed the bridge and evacuated the US Customs office and the Border Patrol office due to a chemical spill... just as we reached the US side of the bridge!


Here is the exact border between the US and Canada. Arthur and I were in the US while John and Shelby were in the back seat in Canada!


Here we are back in Michigan, visiting with Arthur's sons.
