Still Busy Days

 Paige, Cole and Savannah came by to help us out with some yard work and some housekeeping.  So we are caught up again for awhile.  We had a really nice visit with them all and sweet Rosie.  Rosie is Cole and Paige's Dachshund. 

In the evening we went to the neighbors get together a pork feed and a barn dance.  It was great food and fun to watch  the little kids playing ball.   We got to see a few people that we hardly ever get to see. It was quite windy and we left early.  I am sure the younger crowd will carry on!  

Aubrey is at her Grandparents and I will visit her one day soon...she needs a bit of time to rest and recover a bit after her surgery. 

Far Guy pulled Tilly out of her garage and washed her white walls...they look perfect again. 

Minnesota weather:  High 82F or 28C  Low was 59F or 15C   We need rain...the small farmers that cannot afford irrigation will be SOL if it doesn't rain soon. 

The pollen is heavy outside.  The Oaks are full of what we call danglies...but are technically Catkins.

Spring Cleaning

Paige, Cole and their dog Rosie came to help Spring House Clean Upstairs.   They are good workers!  Much was accomplished in an afternoon.  Cole took care of a few things outside, we are very appreciative of their help. 

Upstairs the windows still need to be washed and the sheets and blankets on the beds need to be washed too...but I can work at that one project at a time. 

We have a busy week coming up...three doctors appointments.  One for me on Tuesday( hopefully it won't be a winter storm that day) and two on Thursday and Friday for Far Guy.  We also have to "people" a bit on Monday.  

Here is a photo of Paige in October of 2000.  The occasion was her Great Grandparents Y. 50th wedding anniversary.

 

Well... we can say goodbye to the long month of March after today. 

Supper was homemade pizza.

Wedding: Paige and Cole

 October 18, 2024 the wedding of Paige and Cole took place at Carlos Creek Winery. 

There were bouquets of Fall flowers.

Helping hands.

Jen helped Paige get into her gown. 

Shoes were strapped on...not sure how comfortable the shoes were. 

Look Grandma pockets!

Paige's Mom our oldest daughter helped Paige with her veil...the professional photographers were there for that part. 

They took many photos outside.  I captured a few photos with the long lens on my camera. 

I gave Paige a hankie that was her Great Great Grandmothers then her Great Grandmothers and then mine.  She tied it around the stems of her bouquet.  You can see it in the above photo and below as the bouquet rested in a vase of water on the bridal table.

Here are a few photos that Paige posted on facebook.  These photos are by others. 

Most of you will recognize Savannah on the far left kneeling and Maddie kneeling next to Paige.  The bridesmaids chose shades of ivory, rust and burgundy for their gowns, they were all different styles. 

Mr and Mrs in the vineyard.

 They had an almost perfect day, it sprinkled a bit during the photos. After the ceremony the sun came out for a bit.  There was a social hour after the ceremony, a meal and then a dance.  

Congratulations Paige and Cole!

25

 Our youngest Granddaughter is 25 years old today!  

I have no idea how she got to be 25 in the blink of an eye. 

Can you tell she hated my camera?  Sometimes she would hide from me.  I think she was 12 in this photo. 

Here she is when she was still 24, in the photo is her fiancee Cole and Cole's little Dachshund Rosie.

Happy Birthday Miss Paige...we loved you even when you hid from the camera, you have grown into a beautiful young lady who we are very proud of.  Love you now and forever!
