Weekend Away!

Ah the weekend! And a long one, at that! We got in the truck, found a sitter for the kids, and headed off to Hailey, Idaho to witness the Erin saying "I Do".

Blessed by amazing weather, the two made their vows in a beautiful mountain-spiked meadow on Friday afternoon. Weddings are such good reminders of what being married is all about! Thanks for the invitation, we had a great time!!

Found out today, that we came close to not making it over to the wedding. A 14,000 acre fire closed Highway 20 through Idaho for several hours; fortunately after we had passed through. By the time of our return, yellow grass had transformed into black, scourched earth and water tenders poised at several pull outs.

Got home to find out it had rained over a half of inch while we were away. There was enough time to make a pass through my raspberry patch last night and ended up with a fat gallon of the plump, delicious berries! I have so many this year, I'm making raspberry vinegar!

Michael got to go play for a day on a local wildland fire. After the rain and the predicted cool weather this week, that fun is most likely over for the season.

Big birthday bash for him on Saturday. Anyone wanting to make the trip is invited! We'll have a case of king crab to cook and a keg of beer!
