Wow! What a weekend!

Our family celebrated Christy's wedding to Mike on Oct. 11 in San Diego atop a hotel on the bay. It was just wonderful. We all had loads of fun for days on end. The rehersal dinner on Friday included alot of toasts and praises for the couple.

Saturday was a blur of getting ready,of pictures, the ceremony, dinner and dance. I danced until my knee gave out. It was great. Here's just a few of the 174 pictures I took.

Marge gave me a tour of Christy & Mike's house after she took them to the airport. They went to Hawaii for 2 weeks for their honeymoon. I also saw where Ryan and Scott live. Here's pictures of their homes.

Sam brought Cody, Heather and little Sam up to Fresno to see "GG", greatgrandmother. Here's some pictures of Sammy's breakfast and him "singing" "Itsy bitsy spider".

I just have to say again how much fun I had the whole visit to San Diego. It was really good meeting Mike's family and friends. Taking lots of pictures of the wedding party and all their families and babies. Lastly I thought it was a cute picture of Chica and the cater. Can't you just hear her saying "Have you got something for me?"

Keeping Busy

September was a busy month of more home improvements and medical issues. I decided to paint the kitchen and winterize the patio. Having completed that I'm starting to remove the brick flower bed which is on the patio now and fill that space in. I'm not sure if I'll use the brick or just pour more cement. Here's the latest pictures.

On the other issue of medical problems, Mary Lou continues to struggle with leg pain secondary to lower back arthritis and stenosis. She's had two spinal injections with poor results. The leg pain cause poor sleep and appetite. She's always had a very positive outlook but this has drug on so long it's getting her down. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

On the fun side, I'm taking a photography class and am learning lots. Our last assignment was to take a picture that answers the question, "Who am I?" Here's my results. What do you think?

Another fun class I took which was without a doubt the best class I've ever taken was Laugh Yoga. It was very short, 3 weeks, but joyous. Here's a couple of class pictures.



I am really looking forward to Christy's wedding next week. I can't wait to see how much Sam has grown. I love reading Heather's blog and following the pictures of his growth. He is so cute!
