I want to summarize the wedding day in words while it’s still fresh on my mind. A written account for my children, grandchildren(to be) and anyone else that might want to read. The day started quietly. The morning dew glistening on the partially set up reception and ceremony area. I sipped coffee with JoAnne & […]

Many of the flowers for the wedding bouquets were gathered from mom’s gardens and Windy Ridge. Levi’s awesome cousin, Eva, tootled up in her darling little car and filled the back up with flowers from mom’s gardens.

In no particular order: Mom, me, Tamason, Rachael & Anna (love how Tamason Mae forgot her hairbands on her wrist)
Deanne’s homemade rustic bread that she made for the wedding. So delicious with the flavored butters she whipped up. I have to dedicate a post to these amazing people that you may recognize from here. They volunteered to cook and coordinate the food for the wedding as they do for many weddings. What a tremendous […]
