Hello Gorgeous...

Hey Ladies...we all need one of these hanging by the mirror
in the morning to give a give us a giggle.

Mommies and Babies

Took photo of baby bumps this summer.

My Daughter Holly and Niece Leslie.

Took this photo on Saturday of Holly with Dylan and Leslie with Callie.
How blessed our family is...

Family Dinner Month Three

When my darlin' daughter and husband found out they were expecting this cutie, they started Sunday Family Dinners to be sure that Dylan would get to see his Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles often. It now has been decided that "Sunday" is just a guideline as we had to have it this month on Friday night because last Sunday we were sitting on Main St in Thurmont for Colorfest.

This dinner was simple...call for salad and pizza. I did bake a 1234 cake for dessert.
The "men" played pool and we all entertained the baby.

The pups snuggled with Holly.

Great Mom Mom got to spend time with Dylan.

Isn't funny that a baby can make grown people to anything for a smile?

Some Other Things Colorfest

Set up next to us was a vendor with beautiful mums.

Colorfest Weekend...Thurmont, Maryland

Two weeks ago we were in Thurmont for Meagan and Erik's Wedding. This weekend, Hubbie and I were there to set up for Colorfest. We've been doing this show for years in the front yard of friends who have a building on Main St.

Lou made the personalize garage sign for the couple
who let us use their property to pop up our tents and peddle our wares.

Although it rained while setting up on Friday evening
the rest of the weekend was shower free.

We used to participate in shows almost every other weekend...and this is the first show we've actually set up for all year. Obviously we have gotten old...we were exhausted.

A Homemade Wedding Part 4

Erik and the Groomsmen at the rehearsal.
His brother was his Best Man and 2 longtime friends were his Groomsmen.

Meagan and her Bridesmaids.
Her sister was her Matron of Honor and her cousins were her Bridesmaids.



Meagan's Uncle Ron, her Godfather, married the couple. He became a minister online.

The photos I've put on the blog are all from my camera. I don't yet have any photographs of the ceremony itself, or of everyone in their gowns and tuxedos. Don't even have any of my dear hubby with his daughter. But I do have some of the guests sending me photos from their cameras so as I receive those, I'll be able to post them.

Meagan with Holly and me.

Meagan and Erik's First Dance as Mr. and Mrs.

A Homemade Wedding Part 3

The Wedding Cake was made by Meagan's Godmother, Aunt Donna...
she baked the cake at home and decorated it on Saturday morning at the barn.
The celebration was truly a family affair.

Erik's Mom made the Groom's Cake...Star Trek Theme.
Erik's sister put together a slide show of the Bride and Groom
from when they were babies, to when they met in high school, to vacationing this summer.
One special guest was the Art Teacher, Ms Mand,
who intoduced the couple all those years ago while they were still in high school.

The barn was decorated with thousands of lights, grapevine garland and berries.

The ceremony was to be outside...with the Catoctin Mountains in the background...
but a rainy day made that impossible. The ceremony had to be held in the barn itself.

The best man at Holly and Chad's wedding did the catering. He did a fabulous job at a challenging location. Chad's Dad and his wife offered their services as dinner servers and bartenders and we owe them a big Thank You.
