Its been a long time...

I forgot the pictures would post in the opposite order from which I downloaded them, so they are in rather random order! But here is a quick summary of our summer.

We didn't get a picture of Monte and Poppy when we visited them but this is the area of Nevada where they live.

I thought the cookie table at Monique and Daren's wedding reception looked like it came from the pages of a magazine, it was so pretty!

A few pictures from the wedding.

Anyone who knows these two can well imagine they were keeping everyone around entertained. Callie's birthday.

Callie broke her arm and had a cast and Grandpa was recuperating from rotator cuff surgery.

Part of the clan that got together at the folks.

Our summer was full with visits from the kids and other company, a family reunion at my folks over the 4th of July, Monique and Daren's wedding, Dave's surgery, a trip to Nevada to visit Monte and Poppy - plus keeping the store and garden and life in general.

Monique Wisseman and Daren Henke were married July 31 at Sheridan, Wyoming - a lovely ceremony and memorable experience for all. Michelle and kids, Melody and kids, and Monique came and spent a few days with us before the wedding - we were so glad it worked out for them to come. Dave helped move Monique from Laramie to Dagmar the week before the wedding - then rushed home from the trip to have rotator cuff and tendon repair surgery in Laramie the next day. His recuperation has gone well and he will start back to driving the school bus on September 7 - the doctor wouldn't release him to drive until 6 weeks from surgery, so he had a substitute for the first two weeks of school. Since he injured his shoulder early in the summer, his work on the remodel project in Lusk has been on hold much of the summer. We took a quick trip out to Nevada just before school started to visit Monte and Poppy. It was great to have a couple days with them - the opportunity doesn't come very often! We enjoyed having Della Williams stay with us for a couple weeks in August. I have kept busy all summer with the quilt store - it has been a good summer there as many travelers stopped to help business. It doesn't look like it will slow down anytime soon - which is a good thing for a business, but keeps me hopping!
