Packing for Vacation

Wednesday and Thursday I spent a lot of time 
packing for vacation
Laundry was a part of that process
and buying a few last minute necessities for meals.
I went to visit my mother-in-law on Thursday and I also spent
time with my own Mom in the afternoon.
She gave me my B12 shot so I'd have plenty of energy for vacation.
Friday was spent cleaning the house and doing
last minute packing
Don packed up the car with some of our stuff 

Friday evening then he finished it   

Saturday morning and we were on the road 

to Lake Owen by 8 am.  

Wednesday John came over to our house with a motorcycle.

He had taken the motorcycle driving class 

and passed his driving test.

He rented this bike for a few days so he could decide 

which type of bike to purchase. As his mother I hope 

he doesn't really buy one. 

WHY? IT"S JUST ONE MORE THING

TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

More time with Julaine

After the week-end I stayed at Julaine's till Tuesday evening.

We had a perfect evening and Julaine was so happy to be there with us.

Great Week-end

This week-end was really nice. It started out on Friday when Don and I went to Marcia and Chandler's reception at the Polish Center. It was really nice. My friend Cindy should be a wedding coordinator, she just makes everything look so elegant.  Here are a few of the pictures I took of the event.

Isn't it amazing how she took a few pictures of the couple and made it look so romantic!

What a special added touch!

Hors d'oeuvres fit for a king.

My friend Kathy made these beautiful wedding cakes for the reception
They were even more delicious.

These beautiful flower arrangements graced each table
They were made by Michelle and Maralee. they did such a professional job.

Here are a few pictures of the video of Marcia and Chandler growing up.

Daddy and Daughter

Saturday I was busy most of the day preparing food for vacation and packing a few suitcases. Don went golfing but in the evening Brittany and John came over and we all played a few games of sequence. They won the championship winning 3-2 games. It was a fun evening and was so glad to get the call seeing if we wanted to get together for an evening of games

Sunday we headed to Elkhorn and went to church with Julaine.  We had an appointment with President Bruner for our mission interview in that ward and he said he would send out the papers that evening. One more step closer to receiving  our mission call.  We went to Julaine's after church and had a cook out with them. Jason grilled chicken, brats, hamburgers and Julaine made potato salad and a fruit salad and home made salsa. Everything was delicious and it's always great when you don't have to cook yourself.

Addison fell asleep when she got home from church. 

Our little angel 

What a cute grandson and grandfather.

Julaine and I went for a country ride together in the afternoon and Don and Jason sat outside reading and soaking up the sun. Don left about 5 pm for home and I'll be here until Tuesday
