What is missing?

003 


Can you tell what's missing in the living room?


All of you who know me, know that I love to move my furniture around.  Well, I tried all day Tuesday to move my couch from the living room into the T.V. room.  I even had my son Chris over after work to try to help me.  We couldn't figure it out. 


Wednesday night I had a brainstorm!  We have friends Holly & Mark who own a moving company.  I talked to Mark and he said he'd send a couple of guys over the next day.  I asked what it would cost and he said just give them each some cash.  I gave them each $25.00 and it was worth every penny. 


002 


Well, those two guys came over and within 20 minutes they had it in the room.  They told me they would be busy, if I ever wanted to move it again.


001 


Well this is the library/T.V. room with the couch in it.  Now I can tell the room needs painted and I need to freshen it up a little.


Hugs, Gretchen

Lamb...

001 


 When Hud and I visited PA in August, my sister-in-law LuAnn, sent this lamb home with me.  Isn't she sweet?


002 


She collects lambs and every time I go there, I swear I am going to take a lamb home and this time I got to.


Hugs, Gretchen

A Beautiful Wedding in Pennsylvania...

007 


These are my two nephews.  Ben is on the left and Mike is on the right and the best man.  Mike is single and lives in Montana.


003 


Ben asked me if he should wear these Steeler cuff links a friend had given him.  I said absolutely.  He has four season tickets to the games that have been in our family since my brothers were in college.


008 


 I helped him put on his cuff links.


016 


The wedding was held in Foxburg, PA at this beautiful in along the river.


018 


These are Chelsea's parents giving her away.


019 


Chelsea's little nephew was the ring bearer but nobody trusted him with a pillow or the rings.  Chelsea's sister is the Matron of Honor.


023 


Doesn't Chelsea look beautiful?

 They had planned to have the wedding outside but it rained during the ceremony.  The sun came out just after the ceremony so we got some outdoor pictures. 


012 


This is my brother Paul and sister-in-law LuAnn.  LuAnn just retired after 32 years of teaching.  Paul retires tomorrow.  I believe the smile on LuAnn's face says, "finally....grandchildren".

This me on the left, with my brother Paul and sister Susan.

 The restaurant was along the river and it was so pretty there.  They had hors d'oeuvres while pictures were being taken.  The lunch was filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and salad.  Yummy!

 These cupcakes were delicious.  They were filled with strawberries, raspberries and a couple of other things.  They were delicious.

I thought this would make a pretty photo for the back of the album I'm giving them.


They decided to miss hurricane season and go on their honeymoon in November to the islands.


Hugs, Gretchen
